Some Michigan libraries look like castles.
Others look like European palaces.
A few look like they belong in a movie — because they were.

From Ironwood’s first-ever Carnegie library to Ann Arbor’s Hogwarts-level Law Library, these buildings tell Michigan’s story through stone, glass, and quiet ambition.

As we get older, running changes. The muscles that once felt loose and ready to go now take longer to warm up. The stiffness in the morning lasts a little longer. Recovery takes more time. But that does not mean running has to stop it just means the approach needs to adapt. And one of the most overlooked ways to keep running strong as you age is stretching.

For senior runners, flexibility and mobility become just as important as endurance. Over time, joints lose some of their natural range of motion, and muscles become less elastic. Without proper stretching, this tightness can lead to discomfort, imbalances, and a higher risk of injury. The key is not just stretching, but stretching the right way.

Before a run, the focus should be on dynamic stretching movements that gently activate the muscles and increase blood flow. Instead of holding a stretch, movements like leg swings, hip circles, walking lunges, and arm rotations prepare your body for the work ahead. This reduces stiffness and makes running feel smoother from the very first step.

After a run, the goal shifts to static stretching holding a stretch to release tight muscles and improve flexibility. This is when exercises like seated hamstring stretches, quad stretches, and hip openers help the body recover. Holding each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds allows the muscles to fully relax and lengthen, preventing soreness and stiffness the next day.

Consistency is key. Stretching should not just be something done after a tough workout but a daily habit. Even on rest days, a few minutes of gentle stretching can help maintain flexibility and keep the body moving well. Combined with proper warm-ups, strength training, and recovery, stretching allows senior runners to keep running strong, stay injury-free, and enjoy every mile for years to come.

Stretching routine below.

🚨 BREAKING: Research shows that women with well-developed leg muscles tend to have younger-looking brains and sharper cognitive abilities compared to those with weaker legs.

Strong legs enhance blood circulation to the brain, trigger the release of helpful proteins known as myokines, improve the brain’s energy efficiency, and are associated with increased gray matter and more active brain function.

This link exists because lower-body strength reflects overall physical health, and exercises that target the legs induce physiological changes that promote brain health.
