I made a comment on your strava warmup, but copying it over here, about the warmup for a race:
I usually warm up anywhere between 1/2 a mile to around a mile myself. the distance isnt as important to me as just making sure my legs feel right. Strides are great to do before a race though, also many excellent runners suggest running strides at the end of your easy runs a few times a week too as they don't wear you out too much and help the body alot. |
I read the exact same thing and it's probably an habit I will take, to do maybe 4-5 60 to 100 meters strides toward the end of my easy runs.
Honestly, before the race, they gave me just what I needed in knowing that my legs would be able to push and when the start happened, I felt ready to push right from the start...
