Warming up before a run is something both Amanda and Laura have repeatedly preached - so in this episode, we take a deeper dive into warm-ups. We explore the science warming up properly before a run and provide practical examples of how to warm up before different types of workouts.

Discussion points include:

  • Why should you warm up before running?
  • How long should a warm-up be?
  • Should you stretch before a run?
  • Examples of pre-run dynamic stretches
  • How to warm up before speedwork
