Hey Amigos...Captain Amanda again.
When your run ends, give yourself a few extra minutes to cool down before jumping into the rest of your day!
Try this simple routine:
- Walk for 3–5 minutes, gradually slowing your pace.
- Stretch your calves: Step one foot back, keep your heel down, and gently lean forward.
- Stretch your quads: Hold your ankle behind you, keeping your knees close together. Use something for balance!
- Stretch your hamstrings: Place one heel slightly ahead of you, bend your opposite knee, and gently hinge forward.
- Stretch your glutes: While seated, cross one ankle over the opposite knee and lean forward gently.
Hold each stretch for 20–30 seconds on each side. Keep it comfortable—no bouncing or pushing through pain.
Grab some water, catch your breath, and celebrate the work you just put in. Taking care of yourself is part of the journey to that Halfsy finish line!
Keep showing up, Amigos!
