Hi,
I went for a 30 min run with my friend the other day and she spent 15 mins pre and post run warming up and cooling down.
That meant a 30 min run turned into a 1hr run which in the evening when time is tight and its lashing it down, is a little sub-optimal.
I have read differing accounts as to whether warming up pre and post run is worth doing.
I personally rarely warm up but do sometimes warm down with some stretching but never for 15 mins.
That to me seems excessive.
What do others think about warming up and cooling down?
Fortunately,my friends a great training partner and it also helps that she has a lovely bum. Anyway that's probably for a different form discussion.
