You have to warm up before walking and running, practise the 5-minute FitFive warm-up exercises, from your head to your toes. This raises the temperature of the muscles, stimulates the operation of the heart and improves blood circulation. The nervous system prepares for your training and the warmed up muscles reduce the chance of injury.
Finish the training with cool-down: after running, slow down for walking a few minutes, then do leg stretching, especially on the muscles of the thigh and shank. If it is cold outside, go inside to a warm room to do this.
