Especially runners who mostly...run. ;-) Your endurance is good, but those kinds of activities can help build power, and force you to work your stabilizing muscles more. <--- Key for runners anyway. :)<br /><br />I'm behind, but glad this got sorted. Maybe every race week should start this way for you. ;-)Holly @ Run With Hollyhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988009473800206542.post-89750795366613285512014-03-09T17:24:41.238+08:002014-03-09T17:24:41.238+08:00Any stretching you do to prevent or ward off injur...Any stretching you do to prevent or ward off injury!

Unfortunately I'm not getting any younger and will have to do lots of prophylactic stretching and rolling from now on! <br />One of my friends is roughly as awesome as you and her running just keeps improving.
