Damn those sports teachers, they think they know everything! Sometimes, just sometimes, they might be onto something….!

When I was in high school, I remember that after running hard, when we got to the end of the track we had the tendency to stop and go sit down somewhere, but our sports teacher kept telling us that we needed to keep walking around for a little bit. I didn’t understand why at the time, but I do now, after reading your post.

Hi Tom,
I can’t answer for Andrew specifically, but I certainly think that static stretching is an important part of the cool down process. I still believe there should be a 3-5 min period prior to stretching which incorportates active movement to lower the heart rate, and allow the body to return to it’s normal state. After that stretching can last anywhere from 5min to 30min depending on the activity.

Interesting post Andrew. Do you ever incorporate static stretching as part of your cool down?
