Running 101: The Active Warmup

Stretching before a run has always been a little iffy in our playbook.

Stretching before a run has always been a little iffy in our playbook. It's hard to lengthen muscle fibers before they're warm, and trying to do so can lead to injury. But warming up is still a good thing, so try an active warmup.

A dynamic warmup raises your heart rate a bit while priming your joints for action. We created this video of five moves to do before you hit the ground running. Check it out!

Yoga

Yoga Series For Runners

We love running and yoga.

We love running and yoga. We actually find that these two forms of exercise are quite complementary. Yoga is perfect for stretching out all those muscles worked, and often overworked, while pounding the pavement. To ensure that your body can handle all the miles, Kimberly Fowler, founder of Yoga For Athletes, suggests adding these five yoga poses to your weekly fitness routine. This short series is great for lengthening shortened hamstrings and opening tight hips — both side effects of running. A little attention to your overworked muscles is a great form of injury prevention. And if you only have time for one stretch, Kim will tell you what to do. Press play and get ready to stretch.
