Before and After: It is extremely important that you stretch before and after running. Concentrate on stretching the legs and lower back and put more time in stretching the back of your thighs and legs since the hamstrings and calf muscles are commonly injured after prolonged running. If running in cold weather, dress appropriately to keep your body worm. Sorry, not enough space to give details, refer to web md.
