What kinds of stretches do y'all do after your runs? I don't know the names, but I:
Stretch quads by standing on one foot and pulling the other foot back
Stretch calves by pressing the wall with the ball of one foot against it
Stretch hamstrIngs by sitting in a straddle and bending forward and the over each leg.

Just wondered if I'm missing anything.

Edit- stupid phone. *stretches*

    Yeah about the same, though I also do some sideways leans stretching my arm down the side of my leg to help stretch the muscles down the side on my body...It would help if i knew what they were called!! I do this as sometimes these muscles hurt when I run.

    What I'd like to know is when people stretch...I've see some folk do it before starting and some after the warm up. I do it after the warm up as it seems more effective. I've tried doing it with cold muscles but doesn't seem to work as well for me.
