Hands up if you did at least five minutes of mobilising moves and pulse-raising exercise before your last run. Keep your hand up if you also finished with some gentle walking and static stretches. Kudos to you if your hand is still raised; if it's not, join the clan. Despite evidence a warm-up will make most folk more efficient at running, or that a cool-down will enhance recovery and help guard against future injury, anecdotal data reveals a lot of us runners are skipping these pre-run rituals. But with recent research in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning showing that runners who performed dynamic stretches before a treadmill session were better able to stick with a hard effort than those who didn't, perhaps now is the time to commit to limbering up pre-run. On board? Jim Pate, senior physiologist at Marylebone Health (marylebonehealthgroup.com) reveals why and how you should do it.
