I keep reading that you should ice ASAP after runs. Does this mean do not stretch first or ice then stretch? I've always stretched then iced but I keep reading and not finding anything about stretching first just ICE IMMEDIATELY.
Help!

Hmmmmm, i'll be curious about the responses you get on this too!! I would think stretch first, but what do i know ;)
ReplyDeleteHi there new follower...
ReplyDeleteIMHO you should always stretch first. I'm not really a big fan of icing...cold contracts the muscles and I'm not as close to being as flexible as I'd like to be so I avoid things that will contract my muscles (save for injury when there is actual swelling).
See you around.
I've never heard of icing after a run unless you're injured. There are different thoughts about stretching, but I would say post workout is a good thing. I can't imagine that icing would be bad for you though. I say if you like it then do it.
