I have started to feel the need for some post exercise stretching exercises now that I am running a bit further than I used to. Does anyone know of any good routines? I guess the ideal stretching regimen includes exercises to loosen and relax all of the main muscle groups in the legs and should be practised after running and maybe before too. I will cede to whatever expert advice comes my way on the subject. Back in the 80's I had a program all worked out but its been such a long time that I don't remember the details.

Here are a couple of ideas I found on the web that are either a tad too extreme or downright weird

You might get some ideas from the 86 year old woman who competed at the gymnastics championships last month. If you just google 86-year old gymnast, you'll find her. Absolutely mind-boggling and so impressive!

Good grief, don't try those contortions or you'll do yourself a mischief. Gently does it.
