Some say DON’T DO STATIC stretches and stick to dynamic stretches pre-race - but are “pre-race static stretches” discouraged because they limit performance or because they increase the risk of injury? When I do long static stretches for my calves before a workout they FEEL much less injury prone. I would much rather be injury-free than a few seconds faster.
For a mile, you’d probably be doing a pretty decent warmup, should be several miles with some accelerations. As long as that is in the bag, while you’re waiting for the gun, do whatever.
