EVERY Run Should Start With THIS!

    What do you do before every run? 🤔
  • @andyhickmann2173
    I feel an “every run should END with this” video coming soon! 🙌
  • @mohancharles3158
    A good brisk short walk also can help you to warm up.And stretching too.Good luck to all runners.I am a senior person running for life!😇🙋🌹
  • @stuartbennett4476
    Like most mere mortals with a full time job, kids, house, garden, a wife, shopping, etc. I‘m glad when I can get to do the run let alone anything else 😅
  • I was pleased to see how similar this looks to my actual pre-run routine! Definitely not one-to-one identical, but it’s good to know I’ve got the right idea with some active stretching, hip loosening, and core activation.
  • @pavelberyoza9805
    Love the humor and approach for a busy or a lazy person from this video. This routine is a great compromise between not getting the warm-up at all and the boring 'proper' session from the books.
  • @TheThyller
    Arhh just before I had to go for a run, perfect timing!
  • @lindelystables
    FOR THE DOG, Hahaha!! Loved the video, thanks for keeping it simple.
  • @Mettasim
    A good restful sleep before start
  • @jobanski
    I do front and side legs swings, pull my knees to my chest and feet to butt. I used to do high knees and but kicks, with other skips, but to be honest I feel a little silly.
  • When I just are ready I remember, shit open up the hips prepare for running. I don’t do it every run but all the run who are quality workouts. If it’s like short z2 run I probably don’t do it if not my hips remind me. I also do deep squats with my arms up in “swimming position “. Some few things I do . If I got one interval workout or running competition like 5 k then I swing my legs . I don’t do the same every time. On the bicycle , after maybe 5 min bicycling, I do focus for one leg , without clicking out the , 10 left, 10 right,10 left ,10 right and resting leg just following around. This for waking up both sides so not one leg go for a holiday. I had much problem with my hip before, showed in the run but it was the bicycling who made it. New bike, new bike fit and focus that both side shall work equally solved the problem.

    Good morning!...Enjoy running! Enjoy life!...Start with a good brisk walk and take off gradually like a plane taking off to fly ,first running on the tarmac....Have fun!....Good luck to all of you!...
  • @clairefortier9738
    Warming up can be so boring & tedious but i pump my music, get focused, get my mind right & start slow/light. I want to warm up the body not shock it.
