Training Tips: Warm Up

As important as the run itself, is the way you prepare yourself. It is very easy to fall into the trap of going straight at it to get it over and done with. Try not to. Allocate a certain amount of time and invest some of it on preparation even if this feels frustrating to start with. Some light stretches which do not have to be that scientific even to start off with will allow you to loosen up and get yourself in the right frame of mind for the run. You can learn specific stretches as you progress and perhaps getting to know your body and how it reacts to a run will allow you to focus stretches into the right areas over time. As an example if you have allocated at the outset 30 minutes to training use 5 of these as a minimum to stretch (lightly) the calf, hamstring, lower back, thighs (Quadriceps) lightly and then loosen the upper body with some light twists, turns and shakes before walking for a few minutes to break into your run. You are then at the very least getting into the habit of warming up and at best preparing your body for running.
