Training Tip #6 for the Run for Mercy 5K & Family Walk
by Dr. Josh Axe
Wellness Physician & Radio Show Host

6. Don’t forget to warm up and cool down.

Spend at least 5 minutes before you train or race moving your muscles by walking quickly or jogging, and then do some light stretches. Don’t bounce in your stretches and don’t push your stretches farther than your body naturally will allow. The most important muscle groups to stretch are your hamstrings and your quads. Take time to jog or walk to cool down after a training session or race as well. Stretching after running will help elongate your muscles and aid in recovery.
