How to Have a Good Warmup: Overview

A good warmup is essential to either a great race or a great training run. To start off I firgued I would go over the basic rules of the warmup:
  1. To make your muscles warm its good to start off with a 10min jog.
  2. Running Drills such as high heels, drill that improve running form
  3. Stretch 
The overall idea here is to simply get your muscles warmed up. Ideally the point of the warm up is simply to get your heart rate up, breathing rate up and blood flow to the muscles. Having a bad warmup or simply not doing one can be the difference maker between a good workout and a great workout. Furthermore neglecting your warmup can potentially lead to injury. Furthermore the warm up provides a mental edge that is necessary.
