Great Video as always

[@crayontom9687]

No need, the first 5k will be a nice warm up and will make sure you don’t go out too hard. Just do some dynamic stretches and maybe two strides just to open the legs. Doing a warmup is just using up valuable glycogen

[@JasonFitzgerald]

Your binary thinking limits you. Did you even watch the video? IT DEPENDS!!!

[@jbsnyder3477]

I barely warm up for a 5K! 😂

[@Amaraticando]

No excuses to not warm up for a short race. Actually, the shorter the race, the more warmup it needs.

[@JasonFitzgerald]

Bragging about poor preparation is something... 😂

[@jbsnyder3477]

You people need to lighten up! Have you ever heard of "making a joke?"

[@Ultrarunner41]

Hey bro 👋🏽 You’re a great runner. I was wondering if you would be interested in pacing me for one of my 100+ mile ultras?

[@JasonFitzgerald]

I've never done that before... there are probably much more knowledgeable runners who can help!

[@Ultrarunner41]

@@JasonFitzgerald I know you only run up to the marathon distance. That’s why I was only thinking to pace me up to that distance. I think you would be a great pacer
