If you love training with sprints then you know it’s imperative to prepare your body before carving up the clay. A solid warm-up of dynamic movements limbers up your muscles, joints and ligaments, reducing your risk of injury. It also gets your heart rate up so you aren’t going into this intense method of training completely cold.
