THE RUNNING WARM-UP

Stay injury-free and enjoy your running this summer, with a dynamic warm-up. Studies show a dynamic warm-up is better preparation than a static one, so swap the toe touches for leg swings and inchworms.

For the latter, keep your legs as straight as possible, lower your hands to the floor in front of your feet and gradually ‘walk’ them out until you are in the press-up position. Then inch your feet forwards towards your hands, keeping your legs straight. Repeat five times.
