You have all worked so hard this summer and with the official season starting on Monday we wanted to make sure you understand the importance of preparing your body to run and also cooling your body down after a great workout.
Take responsibility for your own body and stretching. Follow our guidelines but also do what is best for you. You should focus on dynamic (moving) stretches of the hamstrings, quads, hips, and calves before running. And after a run focus on the same muscle groups by using static (holding still) stretches. Also, if you would want a stretch band like the one that Mrs. Kerka used (thank you Mrs. Kerka!) you can buy one at the "$5 or less" store in Rocky River or we can get one for you. Just let us know!
We can only share with you the best techniques for preventing injury and becoming a stronger runner. The rest is up to you! Please take care of yourself and make sure you communicate with us about any aches or pains.

Lets have a fast and healthy season! No boots!
