Warm-up Before the marathon
Warming up before a marathon is crucial to prepare your body and prevent injuries. A good warm-up increases your heart rate, improves blood flow to muscles, and enhances flexibility. Start with 5-10 minutes of light aerobic activity, such as jogging or brisk walking, to gradually raise your body temperature. Follow this with dynamic stretches like leg swings, arm circles, and lunges to activate key muscle groups and improve range of motion. Tailor your warm-up to mimic movements you’ll perform during marathon. This routine not only boosts performance but also helps reduce soreness, setting you up for a safe and effective run.
