Easy and Essential Postrun Stretches

• Deepen your runner's lunge by stepping your back foot a few inches farther away, so your front knee is bent to 90 degrees, knee directly over the ankle.
• Twist toward your front leg, reaching your top arm to the sky and your bottom hand to the ground for balance. Hold for 30 seconds, and switch sides.

This variation deepens the stretch and opens up your back, too.
