THE LESSON
Why it’s important to warm up your body before every run.
THE TEACHER
Matthew Fleet, senior lecturer in physical education, Southampton Solent University.
Finding time to run is often tricky, due to hectic lifestyles. With time being so precious, it’s easy to neglect both warming up and cooling down. However, investing time to undertake both practices can reap rewards: increased performance, enjoyment and reduced injury risk.
Many people become disillusioned with running, as they believe they can’t do it. This is often because they have started too fast, failed to prepare properly and their body is not ready for the demands they are placing on it. Starting slowly and gradually increasing the demands you place on your body will mean you are more likely to enjoy your run, find it a little easier and even perform better, too.
