Before and after a run there are various "active" stretches or drills which you should implement into your daily routine.
Before I go out for a workout such as repeat miles or intervals I'll do some running drills like the straight leg march which the You Tube video below shows.
After a long run I'll do some stride outs which are 100 or 200 meter long up-tempo semi-sprints to practice quick leg turnover. At the end of races you want to have a good finishing kick to out sprint other runners and practicing this after a long run, when you're already tired, will assist with this finishing kick.
