PRE-RUN WARM UP
Pick one of these to do BEFORE your run! Click “more” to learn more about your pre-run warm up routine.
The best warm up is the one you’ll actually do before running. This is why we spend no more than 10-15 minutes getting ready.
The goals of our warm up routine are to:
1. Warm up your body - as warm tissues are less prone to injury.
2. Get your muscles activating - as muscles help take the load off your joints when it comes to absorbing the impacts of running.
and
3. Reinforce proper run technique - so that when we start running, good form happens automatically.
Most injury-prevention exercises are boring, time-consuming, and as a result - don’t end up happening. That’s why we habit stack these before running. Think of these warm ups as your pre-run tune up to prepare your body for the demands of running.
