Dr. Metzl and Runner’s World Coach Jess Movold offer their expert tips for avoiding injury this training cycle.

“Education is of paramount importance,” he says. “While everyone has the opportunity to become a runner, it takes many years to understand a runner’s body when it comes to the ins and outs of training. You can’t rush that process.” To adequately loosen up the body and prepare it for effort, Coach Jess suggests the following dynamic warmup movements. The key word here is"dynamic." Save the static stretches for after the workout.From standing, put one leg straight out with just your heel on the ground.
