Thoughts on a 5k Race Warmup

Answering a question that somebody had about their upcoming 5k.

This person has been utilizing stretching for the past few months, but I wanted to bring up doing some strength work and or a little jogging as a warmup.

Lunges, squats, and leg swings are simple warmup activities that many runners can do and are likely already doing as they train.

Going on a short jog before your race is also a good idea if you plan on pushing yourself.

I tried to give this person advice based on his age and with the limited information that I had.

He responded saying that he liked my advice.

Other 5k warmup exercises are plyometrics and strides.

Make sure that you're doing your warmup exercises correctly.
