Runner's stretch Place your hands on the wall or chair. If using a wall, put your hands at eye level. Step the leg you want to stretch behind you. Bend your other knee toward the wall, keeping your back leg straight. Lean toward the wall until you feel a gentle stretch in your calf. Hold for 30 seconds.
