Warm ups

[Tails303]

Hi all,

My first post but I'm currently up to week 7 run 2 (going tonight hopefully). Really enjoying the program, so much so that I've signed up for a 5k race in Cleethorpes on 16th Sept . Not sure how practical the 5min warm up walk is going to be on the morning of the race so was wondering if anyone had any tips on a good pre run warm up?

Thanks,

Rob

When I do park run. I very walk fast to the event before i start. Some events have a pre start warm up routine to join in with. Personally I shy away from these but most people love them. If you do it make sure you don’t over stretch any of your muscles as it is easy to injure. My only advice is to start of at your own pace, this is actually quite hard to do as it feels the most natural to keep up with the pack.

Most of all have a fun day and remember you will only ever have your first 5km once so enjoy it. 😀.
