RUNNING, as our young athletes in the pic are doing, is pretty Good for you!  There are several factors to take into consideration though before you start actually “Sprinting”.  Here are some of those:

Warm up properly.  As with any Exercise we recommend here at GOD-BUILT, we always want you to “warmup” good.  For instance, if you are going to “Sprint”, the best way to warm up is to start with a fast walk or jog, then transition to a slightly faster Jog.  After approximately 1-2 minutes you should start with a 50% sprint for about 30 seconds or 100+ yds.  Then go to a 70-80% sprint for the same time or distance.  If you are just starting with Sprints and or have not done them in a while, you would be best to not go above the 70-80% range for the first 3-4 times out. 

Warm up time is TECHNIQUE TIME!  We tell this to all our clients, especially for our more “complex” Movements such as Sprinting and Olympic Lifts.  Basically you dont just Mindlessly go through your warm up.  You Mentally focus on your “proper mechanics”, and when you are “warming up” it is much much easier to focus on Technique since you are at a much lower “Intensity”.  So remember again: WARMUP TIME IS TECHNIQUE (MECHANICS) TIME!

STRETCH after the workout and the days following with some of our Movement Stretches and or good ole Static Stretches for these particular muscle groups: Hamstrings, Lower Back, Butt, Calves, Soleus.

Running and Sprinting are really great forms of Exercise.  They are very demanding on the body so make sure and Warmup, Use PROPER FORM, and keep Stretching after the workouts.  And remember to take it Slow when starting out.
