🦵✨ Runners, don’t skip the stretch! ✨🏃♀️
Training for a race? Whether you’re chasing a PR or just crossing the finish line, stretching is non-negotiable when it comes to keeping your body strong, mobile, and injury-free.
💥 Why stretch?
✔️ Improves flexibility & range of motion
✔️ Increases blood flow to muscles
✔️ Reduces risk of strains, pulls, and overuse injuries
✔️ Helps muscles recover faster post-run
✔️ Preps your body AND your mind
🧘♂️ Pre-run = dynamic stretches (think leg swings, walking lunges) to wake things up
🧘♀️ Post-run = static stretches (hello hamstrings, hip flexors, calves) to cool down and release tension
Your training doesn’t end when the watch stops—respect the recovery and your body will thank you on race day. 🏅💪
