What are the best warm-up and warm-down exercises for running (5-10k)?
Tips much appreciated, thanks, Peter

@AguyinMacao Welcome! Some people do "shake out" miles before races. Maybe half a mile or one mile easy run before the race starts. I think just walking is enough for me. I always stretch after I run and use a foam roller also.

I usually do both with walking as well. I have seen people jump around for a bit or just stretch. I find that stretching after feels better and walking before feels better. Full disclosure, I do not run marathons, I run off calories 🙂

Hi guys. I also jump around and stretch my legs and arms in order to warm-up. This helps my muscles and ankles to get prepared for a long run.
