Stretching

Before I go out for a run since I had the mild injury I stretch. Stretching makes a runner become more flexible and more resistant to injury. There has been a debate in a lot of running magazines that  say” Should I stretch before or after I run, or at all”?

Here is an article on this debate: http://www.runnersworld.com/the-starting-line/should-i-stretch-before-or-after-my-runs

From experience, I think stretching is the way to go no matter what. You should stretch before working out, before going for a run, and even before doing yoga. This way your muscles are warmed up and you are ready to go.
