Warm up drills

Warm Ups

Welcome to the warm ups page. Here you will find a selection of exercises broken down into sections that you you can use for your warm ups.

Remeber a warm up should always start off slow with simple exercises and then gradually progress into more complex exercises that get quicker the warmer your body gets.

Do the exercises in the following order: Pulse Rasiers, Dynamic Stretches, Technical Drills.

You don't need to do them all but can choose a selection of a few from each section.

Try to pick exercises that warm up different parts of your body.

Your warm up run should take between 15 and 20 minutes and should ensure that you are ready for the coming session.

Finish off with 5 or 6 proprioceptive drills over 30 metres and walk back or do 20 metres both ways, then a few rolling strides, build to 60 metres then ease down either jog back or 20 metre jog & turn jog 20metre then next return stride.

The list is by no means complete and I will add relevant exercises to it from time to time.

Listed in each section in alphabetical order.

Those that are in bold, are the ones I recommend for endurance runners.
