Do you actually need to warm up before training?

Short answer:

👉 Yes.

But probably not in the way you think.

Most people are either doing too much, too little, or the wrong things entirely.

We've broken down:
✔️ The RAMP warm-up method
✔️ Why warm muscles perform better
✔️ What synovial fluid actually does
✔️ How your nervous system affects performance
✔️ Practical warm-ups for runners and lifters

Train better by preparing better.

This week’s Coached F**T Run Club headed back to St Helen’s Hill for some uphill efforts 👟⛰️

Running uphill is a great way to build leg strength, improve running power and boost cardiovascular fitness, while the recovery back down gets you ready to go again.

Not every run should feel the same 👟

Easy runs.
Tempo runs.
Threshold work.
Hill reps.
Trail runs.
Treadmill sessions.

They all have a purpose, and understanding the difference can completely change how you train.

If you’ve ever wondered:
What’s a tempo run?
How hard should recovery runs feel?
Is treadmill running as good as outdoor running?
Why does trail running feel so different?

…we’ve covered it in our latest blog.

This week’s Coached F**T Run Club took on lamppost ladders on the incline, building the distance one effort at a time, with an optional timed 400m sprint 👟💥

Hill efforts like these help build strength, speed and endurance, while the timed sprint gives you a chance to push the pace and track your progress.

Tough efforts, great energy and everyone encouraging each other all the way through 🫂

Are your shoes helping your training… or making it harder?

Most people wear the same shoes for:
🏃 running
🏋️ lifting
🔥 HYROX
🚶 everyday training

But different shoes are designed for completely different jobs.

We’ve broken down:
👟 running shoe types
⚡ carbon-plated shoes
🏋️ why lifting in running shoes isn’t ideal
🧠 and whether we rely on footwear too much

Worth reading before your next session.
