hey all, i've noticed over the past few months that the flexibility i have in my legs is quite low, which is causing me to be prone to injury and is affecting my running. whenever i run i always feel a painful tightness in my legs (mainly calfs), even though i do stretch. it's restricting my running and making me a slower sprinter. i'm 16 years old, 190cm, 78kgs, and generally play tall forward (hence sprinting being a problem), though i'd like to be able to push into the midfield if required. would be great if anyone could recommend some simple stretching exercises.
thanks in advance
