LOL. "Keep it easy, a 10 minute mile warmup pace is fine". That's basically my average pace in a 5K. :P

[@mpgrewal00]

his jogging pace is better than average runners 5k pace or even 1 mile pace.

[@user-re3od7fp5h]

Yep

[@jazziffizzle]

🤣 same

[@jessa813]

For most people who are in xc or compete in bigger races tend to be a bit faster, so for him a 10 minute mile pace is jogging. I run xc and my mile pace jog tends to be 8-9 minutes, but everyone’s at a different level and don’t feel bad just go out and do whatever pace your jog is

[@stluciestrength]

Good timing. I had a 5 K this morning & I did some of this stuff. Thanks.

[@HWY72productions]

I found this straight forward and useful. Thanks Kirk & Morgan.

[@PoetWithPace]

love it guys! Nice, simple and straight forward.

[@camerongray7767]

Thanks for this, my cross country is in 3 weeks and it is a 6km, so these tips will be helpful for me

[@howtosnatch]

Thanks, took 25 minutes for the whole thing and no one was around to watch me warm up so i felt free as a bird! Good tips.

[@nickythakur2512]

Lucky you , you r not indian

[@gracetuomey656]

First ! Good video 🙂

[@johntyrrell1549]

Where's the background? Looks beautiful

[@gracjanmaknia9371]

Does it warm up also work for 10-15 K run?

[@Benny46drift]

so my 5k runs are like 26min - 29min and I am looking to improve, will these warms up tire me out or help? (Seeing as I am at a very lower level?)

[@TheRunExperience]

These warmups shouldn't be taxing enough to tire you out. Do them at a low intensity that warms up your muscles and makes you feel ready to push hard during your race!

[@katamari84]

kirk suppose to demonstrate but the video didnt show him do it though (only morgan in slow mo),what happen?

[@TheRunExperience]

Sorry about the miscommunication there!

[@oneswiftmotionpoi]

Gonna do this or similar before my 5k this Saturday. I've done 3 in a row so far, (they're on each Saturday) and I've gotten there with max 2 minutes to spare so far 😂 will see if I get an improved result!

[@Jimmyfpv_]

Kadan Douglas How did it go? Did you improve or felt better?

[@christoslazo2081]

30 min break after warm up isn't too much? i do a similar warm up but i m always afraid to w8 more than 10 min without doing anything let along sitting in a chair.Am i wrong?

[@user-rl3ef4ju9k]

I think if it's very warm or hot weather you want longer break like 30 mins. But if it's cool or cold like -10C where I will race next, no more than 10 mins break.

[@robertokuri7108]

keep pressing 0 til ur hearts content

[@sandygoodman9174]

Nice info but not applicable for those of us who have a pace much slower than 10 min mile. This warm up would burn most of my race gas. Sometimes a 5k is all I have in me.

[@TheRunExperience]

Totally get it! We've got a lot of good (doable) 5K stuff coming out in future videos - look out for those!

[@alan137]

@@tomaliafern4219 Everyone has their own pace and the fact that they are out there running should merit our encouragement as a fellow member of the running community. Your attitude has no place here.

[@DeepakKashyap]

[@TheRunExperience]
