Running is different in that it doesn't react with the body. If you
take measures to reduce injury (stretch, wear proper shoes, don't
over do it, eat properly, etc) the body will adapt to the running
just fine.

I'd submit that stretching never prevented any injury, ever, but
probably caused a few, certainly if done cold before running.

Static stretching before exercise is worthless for reducing or preventing
injury, dynamic stretching is not.
