I remember hearing the report that static stretching was no longer a preferred warm-up in 2013, and the first time I tried it, with no change in effort, my six mile easy run was about two minutes faster than usual. I've never looked back.
I learned this the hard way; used to have all kinds of problems like sore hips and hamstrings and arches and runners knee but not since I started doing leg swings and a few squats instead of the traditional static stretches that somehow everyone seemed to think was the right thing to do. For warm down I just leave time at the end for a 1km brisk walk. Didn't know about some of these though and will definitely try them thanks.
Hi Ayanda! Thank you so much for your comment. There is still a lot of work to do on them but I do agree. It makes is so much easier to demonstrate how to do certain things. Thanks for watching :-)
Great vid. I always do this before runs and static stuff in the warm shower i find after works a treat and my recovery is getting quicker and quicker. 😊👍
The content on this channel is amazing. You clearly have a wide aperture lens but it's back focusing like crazy hunting all the time. As a suggestion limit the focus area on your camera or straight up go to manual and stay at the same plane as you film, closing a bit the aperture will also help if you need a larger focal plane to be able to move a bit in/out of camera.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post this feedback. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content. We are definitely learning all the time and know we have made some improvements on our more recent videos. We know there is still a long way to go but we are working hard to move it in the right direction.
Thnx coach 🙏 I started running thru all this pain like a brute and not warming and able to get away with it until now that I'm starting to run longer and harder 🤦🏾♂️
Thank you for the insight. Since I started doing the first 4 dynamic stretches you mentioned, my pace is improving, not much, but still, plus I'm feeling much stronger when I add a few fartleks towards the end of my run. I'm guessing then, that there is more than just a correlation? Thank you.
Very interesting - remembering the days I taught aerobics - we did dynamic stretching - these days at Yin yoga it is static but at Vinyasa Flow which is my fave - we do dynamic - unfortunately too old to run these days but I do walk almost daily pretty fast - so I will use these stretches - thank you Coach
Static Stretching on average usually helps me better to limber up before I run. I stretch often and my flexibility is not as good as it should be. I feel like I can have a better run because my joints and muscles have better range of motion. I don't do as well when I'm stiff.
For the older athlete: The way these exercises are demonstrated are exaggerated. If you’re an older runner do these swings VERY gently. There is no reason to go past 45 degrees with the legs swings. You will risk pulling those small sensitive groin muscles going at it as demonstrated. If you’re older, definitely do gentle static stretches of your quads flutes and groin areas after a run when the blood flow is still good. Never not do stretching after a run. I would also recommend doing a 10-15 minute core warm up before a running session.
Hey, I know this is an old vid but I've recently started running again(about 2 months ago) after a biking injury. Currently, I'm running roughly 22-30km per week but want to run a half marathon. My legs feel very comfortable running a 10k at a slow pace and my recent best 10k is 42 minutes 13 seconds. How long should I train for my half marathon to not risk injury too much?
Hi Willem, well done on getting back into running. Your best bet would be to have a look at out half marathon training roadmap. It's everything you need to get you to the half marathon injury free. We'd love to help you get there. You can get all the details here: coachparry.com/half-marathon-training-roadmap/
I would recommend doing some half mile intervals on the track , where you run one ,then jog one (at least 2 ) once a week,....try to improve your speed on the fast ones and your recovery on the slow ones ,.....also when you run on the road, do farklek,....where you do a series of speed runs at different distances (from 50 yards ,100 ,200)...and continue jogging. ....this should improve your times.........remember a lot of old timers only run 5 miles a day , ....months before a marathon and maybe an occasional 10 mile run.....less is better., take a few days off once in awhile.
The data on stretching is inaccurate, it all depends on the way they did the polls,.....not taking in to consideration, the athletes sport and they're age and other factors, .....static stretching is still favored by track and field athletes and basketball players,.....but was originally studied among weight lifters,....which makes sense......The dynamic stretching that she demonstrated is more likely to cause injury,.....because of the unnatural movement (damaging muscle and tendons).....especially for the untrained.......warming up ,....gradually, ...by imitating the sports natural movement is one of the best ways to get ready for the event,.....as was demonstrated at the end of the video.
The information is good. The title phrasing is straight clickbait. Improve EVERY Run by Warming Up. I know there's a need to work for the algorithm, but come on.
@@dylanberg1188 Clickbait. Actually read the comment. First sentence. "The information is good". The title is unncessarily clickbaity. A much clearer title would be "Improve Every Run by Warming Up." It would save someone having to watch a good chunk of the vid to find out something every athlete should understand.
Why do athletics coaches constantly contradict themselves? Why do some concentrate on residual fatigue,Hansons, and others on recovery Perry? Do they actually know anything?

Awesome stuff Coach I think these practical videos make more sense to support the theory with other previous videos done on Coach Parry.

Like these exercises simple and straight forward even for the casual runner.

Awesome some of these I did know about but it is always good to know more
Dynamic stretching before my runs have made all the difference!! Thanks so much for sharing these particular movements. Love them!!
Very good information I'm start doing now warm up I've seen it help me a lots especially now in winter nd become slow
Great to hear that Martin! Thanks for watching.
I could seriously listen to this guy (L) all day long, that accent 😁💕

Thanks for sharing that, Ruth. And thank you for watching.
Your not to old to run, don't tell yourself that. You may have some reason you can't but age is not one of them.🏃🏃
@@joelchamblin2433 do you know how old I am?
@@ruthschumann3642 No Ma'am
Very helpful warm-up routine 💯
Was that Protea Suné Luus demonstrating the stretches?
Well spotted 😊
Very helpful as I've always been used to static streching,many thanks Coach Parry
Very helpful tips. Thank you
You're most welcome Siynada! Thanks for watching.
Great practical advice 👍🏼

Good vid, but we need to have a talk with the camera man about their auto focus settings 😏
Hey.i don't know all words. I have to know first things before running dynamic or static ?witch one?
You should use dynamic stretches before a run
Great video and advice but the camera focusing is killlllllling me

Interesting,.....punctuation,.....
Do you have a study backing up the idea that track runners prefer static stretching?
You sound like you could sing 500 miles at any moment
The South African accent is unusual.
You video is going in and out of focus. You might check your camera settings.
What a bellend

Proper dynamic warm ups will give you a better workout.
Every time.
That’s not clock bait.

Never ever use autofocus.. unless you have a super expensive camera. Just a tip to make good content better.
The girl doing the stretches looks like sune luus.
Well spotted 👏🏻
All common sense, but yeah !

Was the camera man drunk?
Probably 😜
Put your shoes on and walk out the door. DON'T complicate it.
Agree, this warm up seemed more push than just jogging before actual run
Thanks!
