The sentence is an example of deductive reasoning. It starts with a general premise ("All runners need to stretch before running") and applies it to a specific case ("I am a runner") to arrive at a specific conclusion ("therefore, I need to stretch before running"). Deductive reasoning involves applying a general rule to a specific situation to draw a conclusion.

The generalization in the statement is: "All runners need to stretch before running." This is the overarching principle that applies to all runners, including the speaker. The other parts of the statement are specific instances (identifying the speaker as a runner) and the conclusion drawn from the generalization.
