I usually do it every day for 15-20 mins after my workouts. Stretching is something you should do every day as it helps you both to avoid postural pains and to improve your performance.

When I was younger (and stupid) I used to do deep stretches as a "warm up" before my main training. These days, I start off with some light dynamic stretching for perhaps 3 minutes. After my run, I then do about 10 minutes of nice deep stretching. Definitely agree with this. When I was younger (and stupid) I used to do deep stretches as a “warm up” before my main training.

So I don't have time to really stretch before the run, but I do have to admit that I think you have a better chance of pulling a muscle or getting injured if you don't (warm-up and) stretch before your workout. Check a post I made about some simple running stretches I used to do when I was in cross country: http://www.trail-running-blog.com/training/9-running-stretches-to-help-run-faster/ I have started running in the mornings, right before work.
