Intervals
With limited time given your work and kids, doing the warm up just before any interval sessions or tempo is all that is needed. If you find a spare 10 minutes before a run then you can always refer to this workout.

Same as the sessions but without the 10 minute WU jog.
Race/Sessions
Ideally do these before every run. If going out for an easy run or long run you don’t need to do the 10 minutes easy jog. Just do the exercises instead. Click on any of the exercises to view the tutorial. Any problems let me know.
Race or Intervals
This is a great warm up which really focus on improving your stride length. If done often enough over a period of time the stride length should naturally increase.
Easy Runs
Start doing these 10 minute warm ups before an easy run.
Interval Sessions
Very important to do a good warm up before your intervals. If you do have time, I would also recommend doing these before your easy run too. But appreciate that is not always possible. The 10 minutes easy jog isn’t necessary before an easy run though.

All Runs
For the longer interval runs you don’t need a warm up jog. For parkrun right now a 5 minute warm up jog would be enough. But doing these activation exercises will certain warm up the muscles ready for your runs.
Easy/Long Run Warm Up
The warm up isn’t as important on an easy run or long run as you can use the first mile or two of the session itself to build into the run. If the muscles and joints are feeling tight though it’s never a bad idea just to run through the quick exercises which will take […]
Race/Efforts Warm Up
It’s very important to get in the good habit of doing a warm up before an efforts (non coached) session, a tempo run or a race. A good warm up will increase your heart rate and the blood flow, allowing more oxygen to reach your muscles. It will also activate the connection between your nerves […]
