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.

Very helpful as I've always been used to static streching,many thanks Coach Parry

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. 😊👍

Awesome some of these I did know about but it is always good to know more

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

Love this channel

Very practical advice that even I can do! :)

Thank you 😊

Thanks!

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

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 :-)

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.

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.

What do you think of five finger trainer?

Good vid, but we need to have a talk with the camera man about their auto focus settings 😏

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.

You should use dynamic stretches before a run

Great video and advice but the camera focusing is killlllllling me

Brill

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.

The girl doing the stretches looks like sune luus.

The South African accent is unusual.

All common sense, but yeah !

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.

Do you have a study backing up the idea that track runners prefer static stretching?

You video is going in and out of focus. You might check your camera settings.

Never ever use autofocus.. unless you have a super expensive camera. Just a tip to make good content better.

You sound like you could sing 500 miles at any moment

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?

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.
