Warmup routine posted by globe-trotting miler David O’Meara
Personal trainer and author David O’Meara of Sarasota, the mega-mile guy, is back again this summer with another challenge to himself. He’s running around the world — one mile at a time. His site reports: “David has now begun his 2010 Feat of Speed, ‘Around the World in Less Than 30 Minutes’ where he is running 6 one-mile races, in 6 weeks, on 6 continents in less than 30 minutes total race time.” His final race is Sunday, he says, “Arrived in Australia yesterday — last continent and final event on Sunday morning. Body holding up well so far. Hope you have had the chance to follow our trip on the blog at blog.onemilerunner.com. Wanted to share with you that an English running magazine, Running Free, has chosen one of our photos from www.OneMileRunner.com as their centerfold photo of their magazine as their Inspirational Photo for the month of August, please check it out on page 32 and 33.” Cool shot of David in Monument Valley, Utah/Arizona. And below is a nice warmup tutorial he posted:

Man, if I did that much before a race I think I’d be too tired to race. That was entertaining to watch. This guy seems cool and I am impressed with his mile race efforts! Go D.O.!
yeah, I get enough flack from my crew warming up a mile and a half…but he is right you have to be warmed up well!
20 minute warm-up jog? I’d need a couple of recovery days after that. I guess if you’re a miler or distance guy, 20 minutes barely breaks a sweat.
I didn’t hear him talk about stretching.
