My at home pre run routine

Follow along as I take you through my pre run routine. I go through some stretches, dynamic work, and activations at home before heading out for a run.

[@staxgroove1]

Gwen, I love your realness. Everyone needs to take care of their priorities whether you are a professional athlete or have a desk job. Fitting care in.......like activating and strectching at home is so relatable in our busy world. Thanks from someone who gets up at 4 to leave by 7

[@kevindecoteau3186]

Stan has gotten so very big. I love how you simply carry on while he is going about his business. P.S. nice toy box!

[@susangriffen8670]

I love your balance. Yeah, you're a gold medalist from the Olympics. Now you're also a Mom. Like, I'm 50% of that. Thanks for sharing. It's fun for this 58-year old mom that's just running along going for my 6th star at the London Marathon. Good luck to you, I'm watching!

[@GwenJorgensen]

Susan Griffen yes so amazing! You can do it

[@susangriffen8670]

@@GwenJorgensen OMG thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me. I've been a fan for years. You can do it too! #tokyo2020

[@corybenson7816]

Great tips! And it also reminded me of when our living room was really the kids’ toy room!

[@BlueAllys]

Gwen you are so insperational! I don't run much, but watching your videos really gets me in the right mindset to crush it in my academics! Wish you and your family all the best :)

[@Soooeren]

Gwen's Warm Up is longer than my whole run...just sayin 😂

[@conniesilvestri7812]

This is so awesome!! Very thorough thanks for sharing 😊🙏

[@katis999]

very nice, Gwen! Great video

[@shannonedd2521]

These are so important for me to do to stay healthy and injury free, but they aren't super fun or exciting... Thanks for making a video so I can do pre-workout movement exercises along with you!

[@trailrunningacademy]

Great routine! :)

[@aquicktake]

The brown leather chair in the living room looks SUPER comfy!

[@GwenJorgensen]

hagakuru it’s amazing

[@GregCheekSpeaks]

Great stretch routine - thx 💯💯

[@amyamyazing]

Awesome! I really like when you share exercises! I still follow the foot one you posted a long time ago and the one with Colleen more recently

[@kjclem94]

Love this, thank you for taking the time to share it! Also love all the great windows in your home!

[@gabbechico8471]

Thanks for this Gwen, I’ll definitely try this out!! P.S. that picture of you Stanley and pat is so precious ♥️♥️

[@gene5149]

a really good insight - cheers Gwen!

Thank you so much for this video! You’re such an inspiration!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@zundee4182]

great video

[@jessicacarlos7214]

Thanks you!

[@zundee4182]

I love the kid's toys in the fireplace. helps to realize that these athletes are mere mortals like the rest of us, who have scattered toys to pick up😀

[@brianlam257]

I luv how you describe your stretching with figurative speech

[@manashbarman3490]

Really enjoyed

[@ArunaabhShah]

Kinda wish I had a coach like Stanley 😂, look at the little man trying to get your back position correct! So cute! PS: I heard on Science of Sport podcast that elite runners tend to do that 1% thing of just adding a short 5-10 minute cooldown stretch that goes a long way in preventing injuries. What are the things you do post-run (T stands being one of them?) If you could do a video on that, it would be incredible! Thank you for this, looking forward to the core video too!

[@GwenJorgensen]

Arunaabh Shah noted thanks for the suggestion

[@user-ck6zg7es9j]

This is so helpful thank you!

[@paullee8875]

Dynamic for me pre run. Traditional stretch afterwards. And i hate both in equal measure.😀😀

[@OssianHowley]

Some good toys there. Can relate 😂

[@domarcotte]

Love the breakdancing part !!!

[@coryfines847]

Thanks!

[@beyondthenextmile7977]

I wonder if you (or someone else) has any tips for tight hamstrings though? Good video, definitely going to include some of those in my next warm up!

[@GwenJorgensen]

Robin TrysTri did you se the hammy stretch st the start? And then the reaching for the toes?

[@beyondthenextmile7977]

@@GwenJorgensen Yeah completely forgot about those! Thank you!

[@Emma-ix6bz]

Super interesting but PLEASE for this kind of video, put the list of exercises in the description box! You’ve done a few videos like this and it would be so helpful to us viewers who want to copy your exercises if you could do that, thank you!

[@GwenJorgensen]

Emma noted. I will try to remember and post in there later

[@Scohen415]

Glad to see that some of these I have already been doing and I can add some new ones! Awesome! I was wondering have you done the Myrtl routine? Ive been trying to improve my hip strength and saw it recommended.

[@GwenJorgensen]

Sam Cohen haven’t tried it

[@brynmordey2659]

Can you do another Q&A video again soon?

[@dejanjovanovic2298]

hey, Gwen, i didn't know you are olympic triatlhon champion. I thought you are just on the way to become professional athlete, but you are in transition... Do you maybe know the time of your 10 k run in olympic triathlon? I am curious to compare it with track running

[@GwenJorgensen]

Can’t compare. In tri distances were never exact. Only had to be within 10%

[@dejanjovanovic2298]

And... You were talking something to a Swiss girl. What was that? It looked as some arguing :)

[@roustabout4fun]

Looks like Santa has been down that chimney....a few times.....Even Santa is healthy in your household! Omega 3's to counter all those eggs...but you have a great chef.

[@Loppy2345]

Gwen, can you make a video on how to stretch after a run?

[@chiaragandolfibazzanella4476]

Yes please! I wanted to ask the exact same thing. Absolutely need a mobility routine to loosen things up after a run!

[@manashbarman3490]

Please upload the core workout too

[@GwenJorgensen]

Manash Barman will have to have Talbot capture that

[@julienn_23]

What is your after run strech?

[@theodoredodge]

I was curious if you do anything to loosen your calves before a run? I thought I saw you doing some concentric (or centric) calf drops in another video? Do you do this and/or anything else for calf loosening or calf warmup? Thanks, Tight calf sufferer

[@GwenJorgensen]

Thomas Dodson 2x20 each leg in straight and bent knee position twice a day! So 160xday

[@theodoredodge]

@@GwenJorgensen Thanks Gwen, keep up the good work and love the videos :-)

[@jaisuanlandscape]

It is mobility exercise?

[@sophiareich1429]

Hey Gwen!! I was wondering if you have dealt with an adductor/groin strain? If so, are there any exercises/rehab you recommend? Thanks:)

[@GwenJorgensen]

Sophia Reich I love dry needling for tight adductors
