      I always stretch AFTER a run and rarely before. When starting a run, I make sure I warm up with a walk so the muscles ready to go. For ideas on good running stretches, see the Runners World site, http://www.runnersworld.com/topic/0,7122,s6-241-287-0-0,00.html - I also find that many yoga poses provide great stretches so I try to do yoga at least once a week, or do an extra long stretch session after one of my runs.
