I’m no sports scientist, but I did read Meb Keflezighi’s book Meb for Mortals. He has a whole chapter on stretching and attributes it to the longevity of his career. It hasn’t seemed to make him any slower.

I've said before ... as a Surfer, I should like Yoga ... I mean it's all about balance and slowness and calm and so on; which is kinda how I am, really ... However, if I were to try to get a class in, I'd be all like: "Okay, I can touch my toes. Great! Can we move on here? I haven't got all day! What's next? Let's move it, people!"
