I am training for a sub 4hr 30 run and yesterday ran 5 miles at 10 miles an hour pace. It was hard work but I did it. However today I am aching all over and feel like I have the flu! Does anyone else feel the same after a run and does anyone have any stretching tips (especially on whether you should stretch before and after or just after a run!)

Perhaps you really have got flu?
I'm very bad when it comes to stretching - I rarely do any at all. If I do, I stretch after jogging gently for a mile or so, rather than before I start. Stretching after a run is supposed to help stop those next-day aches, but I rarely do any apart from some calf and quad stretching for a minute or two. I should do. I suppose.

I never stretch when cold . . . I run
slowly for 5 min or so and then start
to speed. But I stretch rigorously after
a run when all is lose and warm.

I'll learn one day - actually, I probably wont!
