I've been incorporating dynamic stretching into my pre-run routine and I'm curious to hear about others' experiences. I've found that leg swings, high knees, and lunges help get my muscles warm and ready to go. Does anyone have a favorite dynamic stretch or routine that they swear by? Do you think it makes a noticeable difference in performance or injury prevention?
I'm a skeptic when it comes to dynamic stretching. I mean, I've been doing it for years, but I'm not convinced it makes a huge difference. Maybe it's just a mental thing, but I've had just as many good runs without it as I have with it. That being said, if it works for you, go for it. I'll stick to my 10-minute warm-up jog, thanks.
I've been doing dynamic stretching for a while now and I think it's a game-changer. My favorite is arm circles - it helps loosen up my shoulders and gets me ready for those long runs. I've noticed it helps with my posture and reduces my risk of injury. Give it a try and see what works for you!
