Frobester Jan 2012 3:23pm, 10 Jan 2012 17,966 posts	0 Frobester Is this about flexibility in a "Felicity, I didn't know you could be so bennnn-dy" kind of way?
Gobi Jan 2012 3:23pm, 10 Jan 2012 45,769 posts	0 Gobi you need some you don't need loads simple thread closed
Jhuff Jan 2012 3:27pm, 10 Jan 2012 3,386 posts	0 Jhuff G, How much do we need ? And how do we go about getting it and keeping it?
lammo Jan 2012 3:28pm, 10 Jan 2012 4,333 posts	0 lammo Which bits though Gobi?
southendal Jan 2012 3:28pm, 10 Jan 2012 1,365 posts	0 southendal I can't touch my toes. Never, ever have been able to.
Jhuff Jan 2012 3:31pm, 10 Jan 2012 3,387 posts	0 Jhuff Southend, How diligently have you tried to become flexibile enough to touch your toes? Days weeks months years?
southendal Jan 2012 3:32pm, 10 Jan 2012 1,367 posts	0 southendal Even during 4 years of consistent, fairly serious gymnastics training as a (surely more flexible) teenager, still couldn't do it.
lammo Jan 2012 3:32pm, 10 Jan 2012 4,335 posts	0 lammo Would it help your running though?
southendal Jan 2012 3:33pm, 10 Jan 2012 1,369 posts	0 southendal Probably. Maybe I need hamstring extenders, like you can put in the waistband of your trousers if you're over weight

Ps, the title should be " flexibility needs of a runner". Somehow my phone messed it up ;-)
