Do You Stretch?

I'm a post-workout stretcher. If I'm going on a long run, I'll warm up, then do a bit of stretching, but most of the time, I don't stretch at all until I'm finished, and the reason is simple -- I'm always in a hurry, and I haven't found that stretching beforehand helps me feel less sore afterward.

I have a friend who is a health professional, and he refuses to stretch. Ever. He'll do yoga, and he'll relax in the sauna, but don't ask him to stretch before or after running -- he just doesn't see the point.

Diet Blog took a closer look at the research behind stretching, and you know what? It seems to just be a personal choice every fitness buff needs to make for him or herself. Some research claims pre-workout stretching actually makes you weaker, but plenty of others say it greatly improves your performance. So, it made me wonder, what do That's Fit readers do?
