The lying down quad stretch is one of my favourite post-running stretches, not only for my quads but hips as well. Here's a step-by-step guide for stretching your right side (forgive any pained expressions. It was sunny!):
Step 1: Start in a seated position with your knees bent
Step 2: Grab your right ankle with your right hand as your left knee bends to the left
Step three: Slowly lean back on your elbows. You should now feel the stretch through your right quad and right hip flexor. Hold for about 10 seconds.
Step 4 (Optional): For an even deeper stretch lay all the way down on your back. Hold for about 10 seconds.
Repeat on the other side!
*I'll be posting a video of this move shortly done with the left leg*
