Frankly, I don't think it matters that much as long as you're stretching them. Just find some on YouTube / Google and pick your favourites.Yeah, I’ve come across this before, but tbh just a bit old school and lazy, lol. I don’t exactly run at pace so never taken it too seriously. I bought some of those spiky balls, lol, off Amazon as had them recommended so I do try that in the house too from time to time. Out of interest, what kind of dynamic stretch would you recommend for hammies?
5. They improve your sleep as morning activities release cortisol, waking you up for the day. This then tells your body to be awake for x hours before releasing melatonin, getting it ready for sleep.Morning runs get my vote, so many positives to a morning run,
1.Theres no should I? Shouldnt I? question in your head all day.
2.The rest of the day is yours to play with.
3.Theres none of the daywalkers getting in the way every 20 yards
4.Get up early enough and the world is yours as your alone on the streets
My strava stats last year said most of my runs were between 5am and 6am, by far the best time of the day imho add a sprinkle of rain and it dont get much better!!
Meh, always with the technical stuff stu!! You'll be telling us all to drink beetroot shots next5. They improve your sleep as morning activities release cortisol, waking you up for the day. This then tells your body to be awake for x hours before releasing melatonin, getting it ready for sleep.
I would say thats more abour pre run stretches...before you leave the house.the base of the spine can only benefit from rotation front,back,sideways and a circular motion,both ways.....to loosen it upBeen getting out a bit since new year, partly due to no football and partly for something to do whilst keeping slightly fit.
Been building up from 2k to 5k last weekend feel fine apart from the base of my back which is sometimes unbearably painful whilst mid run had to stop a couple of times (only for 10 seconds or so) to let the pain piss off then I can get going again, anyone any recommendations for a lower back support?
Rain is the best weather for a run imoIt’s raining.

I’m going back to bed.
I often get pain around the same area and have found stretching my hip flexors/glutes have eased this dramatically.I would say thats more abour pre run stretches...before you leave the house.the base of the spine can only benefit from rotation front,back,sideways and a circular motion,both ways.....to loosen it up
Nothing fancy or technical... but im pretty sure your mid -run pain would ease/disappear
