Stretching yes or no? A poll

The University of Nevada has done some research on the effect of stretching before running. Google for articles or follow this link for one of them. In general the message is that static stretching has no use or even might weaken your muscles before an excersies. I myself, although I write about it on this blog, I usually stretch only after running and mostly just my lower calf muscles. I have published a poll on the right of this blog. As Dutch is the default language the button 'stemmen' means 'vote' and 'resultaten weergeven' means 'show results'. I will also post this poll on Running in Business at LinkedIn for more results.

Running a marathon indoor

If you want to avoid the cold try running a marathon indoor. Why they have chosen to run around an icerink? I don't know. Maybe to lower the contrast between indoor and outdoor?
