Episode 141: The Science of Warm-Ups and Cool Downs
Warming up should be simple. Go jog around for a bit, do some drills and strides and you’re ready to go. In this episode we break down the science of two staples of running that are often afterthoughts. You’ll learn how warm-ups and cool downs aren’t just about priming your body to perform and then bringing it back to baseline, but also a stimulus for adaptation.
