9 Running Stretches to Help Run Faster

9 Running Stretches to Help Run Faster

Stretching is a very important thing to do before you go on a run. Other things are just as important, like the right pair of running shoes, good form, and a good warm-up run. When we used to meet up for practice at 6AM during the summer, before we started our workout on the trail, we would start everything out with a good-paced warm-up lap, which consisted of a perimeter around our baseball fields behind the gym. The warm-up run was not meant to be so fast that it affected our actual run, but fast enough to start to break a sweat and warm enough to loosen our muscles and relieve any tension, which is what you really want to do.

North Beach to Bulli Run

North Beach to Bulli Run

The run from North Beach to Bulli along the Wollongong Bike Track/Path is about 23km long.

A GPS using the Nokia Sports Tracker software was used to plot the map below.
However we used the markers along the Bike Track/Path to determine our turn around point.

Started from North Beach, just next to the surf club and turned around on the bike path after Ruby’s Cafe but before Sandon Point. (The marker was just after crossing the bridge).
