The warm-up isn’t optional. It’s the workout before the workout: 1️⃣ 20min easy jog to raise your heart rate before you ask your body to run fast 2️⃣ Dynamic mobility to loosen the hips and hamstrings so your stride feels natural not forced 3️⃣ Running drills, nothing like A-skips, B-skips, high knees to switch on good mechanics before the workout starts 4️⃣ Tendon activation, this one a must for me! Isometric calf holds, pogos. Y’all know Achilles and I have a love/hate running relationship 5️⃣ Strides to wake up the nervous system so the first interval doesn’t feel like the warm-up. Straight work! #trackworkout #runningwarmup #injuryprevention #hybridathlete #marathontraining
