so last weds evening, yes it was hot, I went along to a local running club and really enjoyed it. I ran 8k and was impressed with myself. however after everyone had arrived, they announced right let's go. no warm up. I was gobsmacked! I did my 5 minute warm up and they did wait for me but they had completed the c25k with new runners and then totally ignored the warm up. then to my horror there was no warm down!! I carried on walking around the car park muttering to myself about injuries etc etc... the air was a tad blue in my head lol.
so I'm back to running solo with the podcasts that I switch around and am loving it.
keep going everyone.... cheers Laura xx

Did they arrive on foot? Maybe the warmup happened before the meet-up? Skipping warmup is never good.
Cooldown is less about injury prevention and more about getting the blood flow back to normal... sometimes I skip it and sit in the car, staying stood still can be an issue as feinting could then hurt a lot.
no they parked their cars n walked across a small car park then stood around waiting for the rest to arrive. I always do the warm up and cool down walking...like to have a good look around and congratulate myself afterwards lol xx
