After an easy jog (according to your schedule) and light stretch, these drills will help prevent injuries, improve your running form, and increase speed. Please review the 7 videos below for descriptions of each.
After each drill you should run the remaining distance to cover 100 meters so that when the 7 drills are complete you will have run 7×100 meters (exercises included). Then finish up your warmup with 3×100 meter strides. The 100 meters should be at your 1500 meter pace. Give yourself at least 30 seconds recovery (feel free to take up to 1 minute if desirable). Please review the video below for a description of a stride.
We suggest you perform these drills and strides prior to all track workouts or tempo runs.
