Ultimate Pre-Race Warm Up Routine

[@Julie-my6ds]

"do strides to help get your heart rate elevated" my crippling race day anxiety "no worries bro, already got that covered" ;)

[@TheRunExperience]

Ha! Well strides can also help divert some of that pre-race nervous energy :)

[@milesbredon9355]

Yeah, strides are great to get your body in running mode and forgetting about nerves

[@juliusgray9002]

i do a warm up routine very similar to what you demonstrate and it works wonders for me during road races

[@guruveercr7104]

Great video and tips for pre-run warm up. Did this for my 10k run and worked very well.

[@TheRunExperience]

Awesome! So glad it worked for you.

Gunna be my first time doing Track those years. I don’t understand this pre-race anxiety. Although I haven’t done track, I have plenty of head too head sprint/ medium distance racing so I think I’ll be fine.

I'm glad I found this channel before my first marathon. Your channel is excellent. Thanks!

[@mirz2351]

Doing my first tomorrow, how did this work for you?

[@andyfoster9843]

Thanks will us it for my race in Wadi Rum tomorrow night!!!

[@sunilvalusaWgl]

Watching this to try for my half marathon tomorrow..

[@bienveqe]

great tips... i will for my next training... thanks guys !

[@deborahpelletier1157]

Love this! I don't have the patience to warm up so some structure is great. It would be awesome if you listed the exercises in the description so I can print or read it after just to tweak the memory so I don't have to watch the video multiple times :)

[@TheRunExperience]

Great suggestion Deborah! In the meantime, feel free to jot down the text that shows up during the video as it will serve as a basic outline for the workout.

[@simonmorley9962]

Great vid and tips. I will be following this before tomorrow's race. Never had a planned out warm-up. Thanks guys!

[@jeffhorton259]

Instead of several short striders, what's really worked well for me is to run for one minute out, turn, and one minute back at around 10K pace/effort. I do this with ten minutes to go until race time, since I need a few minutes to settle back down. When I do a track workout, I run 500 meters the same way, stop and walk back around the turn to the start line, do a few leg shakes, and then start the workout. This very reliably prevents that "crap" feeling you often get in the first 1/4 mile of a race or on the first repeat of a track workout.

Thanks for sharing, Jeff!

[@migueldiego1715]

[@PoetWithPace]

I always make sure i get enough EPO for pre-race prep few days before........ Extreme Pizza Overload! Oh yes!

[@TheRunExperience]

haha!

[@sweetiemcgee]

just in time for the sf marathon! who from the run experience is running it?

[@TheRunExperience]

You should post on the FB Weekly Running Tune-Up Group page! I'm sure we've got some runners doing it...

[@lookingfourth]

Coach Nate, I found the channel recently and this video and a similar one of warm ups. What is your suggestion to keep those key muscle groups primed when your held in the chute for 15 or more minutes prior to the gun. Limited space so some form of vertical or very confined lateral is what I need. Can't wait to see your suggestions.

[@GT-kx6hm]

Would the warm-up routine be different for a 5k vs a full marathon? I have been 110% spent at the end of the few marathons I have done, so I would like to not use up too much energy, but be ready to go at the start line. Any tips for this specific case would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for these vids!

[@alberto2128]

3 days to race time. 10km is coming in. Wish me gl plss

[@TheRunExperience]

Good luck!

[@NataliePottingerV4C]

The link to the FREE Quick Start Training Program is broken :(

[@miki219]

is that in frisko ?

[@danpop3809]

Thanks a lot. Great exercises. I didn't noticed if you have a post run routine but would you be kind and show us one? In terms of active mobility not just static. What do you think?

[@danpop3809]

I found it. Tahnks

[@TheRunExperience]

Yes, lots on the channel!

[@InstaCody]

What if after I warm up I'm tired and want to quit

[@lilys3589]

You can do this

[@InstaCody]

@@lilys3589 Thanks, I did it, marathon not a bad score, but I did not do the complete warm up in the video. I tried to but I was so nervous I spent most of the time in the Porta potty Lmao

[@JessPooLam]

Too much talk
