On Foam Rolling, I had a trial training session once and the trainer basically had me sit on the floor, legs straight out in front of me, with my ankles on top of the foam roll. It was about 3 to 5 inches in diameter I'd guess from memory. You then heave your torso up on your hands and s-l-o-w-l-y roll yours legs forward over the roll.
(Incidentally, for me, rolling was really painful and I haven't tried it again. I'd like to believe something was wrong somewhere, but I think I'll stick with regular stretching even though my hams are still REALLY sore two days after my first bout of single-leg Romanian deadlifts)
