The Importance of Cool-downs

I know that the last thing I want to do after racing or speed workouts is run some more... unless there's a locopop at the end of it of course! But, well, you should. In fact, you should cool-down a lot... like 40 minutes a lot... at least that's what Sally Kipyego suggests! The Oregon Track Club routine is a bit easier... they only cool-down for about half that time. In any event, both the "Kenyan" (Kapcherop Training Camp) and the "American" (Oregon Track Club) routines incorporate drills and dynamic stretching to flush out your legs, increase range of motion, and reset muscle memory. I highly recommend reading this article, it contains a lot of good information. Guess I better better get to ABC-skipping! #20
