After every run, I spend about 10 minutes stretching while uploading my GPS data to Strava. After a long run, I'll have a snack and protein shake right when I get back and follow that with a big meal a few hours later.When do you usually stretch?
I'm an after-run stretcher. I feel like I get more out of stretching after a run when my muscles are warm and pliable.Why do you use the StretchMat?
The StretchMat gives me a comfortable surface to stretch anywhere.What benefit do you personally see from using the StretchMat?
Being a trail runner, I often drive to trail heads, and being able to stretch right when I finish a run and before I drive home helps keep me from getting sore later. The StretchMat allows me to do just that.When do you usually chew Run Gum?
I chew Run Gum before a hard workout and late in a long run. I also chew it to help me stay awake and engaged when working overnight shifts as a trauma nurse.What's your favorite Run Gum flavor?
Mint.What benefit do you personally see from chewing Run Gum?
I can always count on Run Gum for a boost of energy, whether it be for a run, work, or just life.
