It wouldn't surprise me if I'm the last one to the find out about this, but before my workout yesterday, I read about this technique of stretching and gave it a try after my run yesterday. It worked better than anything I have ever tried before. I would say I was only about half as sore/stiff as "normal".

This is a great way to stretch - look for the Wharton's stretching book if you want more insight/info and techniques - they really get into the AIS.
