RunningBlog: Does stretching before running prevent injuries? Scientists say NO. I often get defensive when other people ask if I stretch before I run, because I don't. More research to back me up!

My physio says to, but I don't. I do walk for a few minutes to warm up.

Beyond that, my answer is 'I'm generally warmed up after the first 5km.'

Same here--I walk a bit, then get to the task at hand. I walk afterward, though, making sure to stretch while I do so.

Also, no one likes those people who stretch and make a show of it. There's a lady at my gym who does it on the treadmill and I want to smack her.

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.
"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.
 
"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.
 
"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
