Warming up before a run is essential to prepare your body for the physical demands of running.
A proper warm-up increases your heart rate, enhances blood circulation to muscles, and reduces the risk of injuries such as strains and sprains. It also helps to loosen joints and improve flexibility, leading to a more comfortable and efficient run.

At Netley Abbey Runners, our sessions are brought to life by a fantastic team of Run Leaders and Coaches — here’s a look at what they’ve done to earn those roles and why we’re so lucky to have them.
Running can be both a social and personal experience. Group runs provide motivation, accountability, and camaraderie, while solo runs offer flexibility, focus, and mental clarity. Balancing both can enhance your running journey, keeping you motivated, improving performance, and making running a more enjoyable part of your lifestyle.
We have created a members handbook for you to read and download.
