Starting to stretch

Hello
I am a 39 year old martial artist that is just getting serious about doing the front splits.
I run on Mon.,Wed. and Fri. so that is the day's I am stretching. I get down as far as I can then do a 20 sec. isometric contraction then I go down futher. I do this three or four times.
I also do 10 dynamic kicks in the am. Is this the way I should be going about it? Any suggestions ?
Thank You
Richard

If you are strong enough to do isometrics, you are not far off.

As for your running, make sure you take long strides. This will help no end.
