Dear RUNNERS,
It has been so exciting that getting more and more marathon / Iron man / Power man events being organised in Malaysia.
BUT,
How would you know that you are warming up your body correctly before & after the game?
Do you know why, why, why it is so, so, so important to stretch your muscles before and after the run? What will happen in long term if you do not stretch after games?
