BONUS: 5-Minute Guided Warm Up for Long Runs

May 15, 2026 · 5 min

Show notes

Coach Claire guides you through a 5-minute audio warm up for your next long run.

This one will be all standing, perfect before heading out the door or right when you get out of your car.

As you work through each movement, she will offer you some phrases to think about that you can carry with you on this run and beyond. Calm music helps remind you to keep everything relaxed.


Warm up exercises:

    • leg swings

    • hip openers

    • quad stretch

    • knee to chest

    • calf raises

    • arm swings

    • double leg hops

    • single leg hops
