stretch and drink water.

Answer 2

First: Slowly stretch muscles.

Second: Drink Water

Third: Cool Off

Fourth: Massage Muscles

Fifth (Optional): I'm a serious runner, at my house I have a whirlpool/jet bathtub; I like to go in there sometimes and turning on everything. It really soothes my muscles, if you have one- try it! If not, there are some local fitness clubs you have saunas, whirlpool, hot tubs too.

Hope this helps!!!!
