Warm Up For Runners – By Michael Williams, Registered Physiotherapist

Everyone should be doing some form of warm up prior to running to help reduce the risk of injury, in particular muscle strains. What that warm up looks like is open for debate. Mike’s warm up is composed of a variety of dynamic movements that involve moving his hips, knees and ankles through movements similar to the running motion in order to get the major joints, and muscles that cross those joints, that are involved in running to be warmed up and better prepared for his workout.
