When it comes to any kind of exercise, a warmup (and cooldown!) is important, so running is no exception. NASM-certified Peloton Tread master trainer and USATF/RRCA run coach Rebecca Kennedy told POPSUGAR that if you're doing a more intense run - like 20-minute HIIT on the treadmill - she would recommend getting a run warmup in first. Peloton's digital app, for example, has 10-minute warmup runs on demand. But if you're doing more of an endurance run, a five-minute warmup with dynamic stretches (involving movement) is ideal to get your heart rate elevated and target your hamstrings, glutes, and hips, she said.
In a warmup, you want to be doing, movements that "warm the muscles up and prepare the joints and the ligaments to actually receive that impact," she explained.
