E15 - Master the Best Running Warm-ups: Beyond Dynamic Stretching


Listen Later

In this episode, Alison discusses the importance of an effective warm-up, emphasizing dynamic movements that increase blood flow, improve neuromuscular coordination, and enhance joint range of motion. She explains how her Fast and Free warm-up program, a downloadable resource of plug-and-play warm-ups, integrates five key running skills, such as stack alignment and rotation, to help runners improve efficiency and avoid injury. These exercises focus on building muscle coordination, joint stiffness, and energy storage, essential for efficient running, and incorporate springy movements to activate the nervous system. Alison emphasizes how these warm-ups help female runners improve strength, efficiency, and power in their stride. She encourages listeners to download the warm-ups and join her email list for upcoming Black Friday deals on her Strong and Stable course, designed to strengthen hips for female runners. The course will guide participants through a six-to-eight-week program aimed at improving hip strength and range of motion.
