8or 10k?

Thought I'd try an extended warm up to see how it affected my heart rate. After my normal 5 minute walk I did the first 2k using run /walk keeping an eye on the HR then finished with an 8k run. It made a big difference in stopping the toxic ten and the HR was kept to an average 118. Ended up with decent times for an 8 or 10k run so I will count it as a successful experience. Not sure if I would do it again but will definitely extend my warm up time in the future.

When it gets colder I always do a longer warm up and it makes a big difference. I’m a believer in warmups as I reckon if it’s good enough for the elites then it’s good enough for me!

Thanks. I'll try 10 minute warm ups for my ext fee runs to see if it makes a difference.
