\nAt the Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST) in Greenville, South Carolina, we hear from runners who want to get faster, those who simply want to enjoy the sport for life, and those who\u2019ve given up on running entirely. They\u2019ve stopped because injuries have made it too frustrating or too painful to continue.<\/p>\n

The two of us\u2014both longtime runners\u2014spend a lot of time discussing what we can do now to increase the likelihood that we\u2019ll log miles well into old age. We want to be able to keep doing what we love to do\u2014and that\u2019s probably a goal of yours, too.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Why do runners get injured?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Based on our experiences as athletes, coaches, and exercise scientists, we developed the 7-Hour Workout Week, which is detailed in our book Train Smart, Run Forever. The plan includes activities to enhance cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility.<\/p>\n

Many runners have confessed that they skip the resistance training, dynamic stretching, and cross-training we recommend, but these exercises are critical for staying healthy as you become fitter and faster.<\/p>\n

Improving range of motion is an essential component of fitness training. The risk factors associated with poor flexibility include faulty posture, altered running mechanics, and risk of injury and pain. That\u2019s why we recommend stretching every day\u2014it\u2019s just that important.<\/p>\n

These five moves are easy to do daily and take just minutes to complete. Remember: Five minutes today can prevent eight weeks on the injury list later.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to perform dynamic stretching exercises<\/span><\/h2>\n

How to use this list: Perform the dynamic exercises above every day and\/or before every run. Below, Runner\u2019s World+ coach, Jess Movold, demonstrates each move so you can learn the proper form. The entire routine takes less than 5 minutes and can even be performed outside prerun. You need no equipment.<\/p>\n

With both feet forward, take a wide step to the right. Bend your right knee as you send hips back and shift your weight over your right foot to drop into a side lunge. Keep chest lifted. Return to standing. Repeat for 30 seconds, then switch sides.<\/p>\n
