DO IT YOURSELF

Using a foam roller can provide similar benefits as deep-tissue massage—at a fraction of the cost. By increasing flexibility and decreasing muscle tension, a foam roller can help prevent injury and improve performance. Make the following exercises part of your regular running routine—run, roll, then stretch. Place your body on the roller (find one at performbetter.com) and slowly roll up and down (for about 10 to 15 seconds) along the muscle group you’re targeting. If you find a particularly tight area, pause on that spot. Applying pressure can help release the tissue.
