Told the 7 a.m. sprinters, “Skip mobility if you also want to skip your PR,” and suddenly everyone found a foam roller like it owed them money. What’s your go-to one-liner that gets buy-in for prehab without sounding like a lecture?
“Pay your PR insurance” — I set a 60‑second mini‑band glute loop + 10 pogo hops + 2 ankle rockers before the first rep, and if they nail the opener we cut any extra fluff; on grindy days I trim it to just ankle rocks and one fast A‑skip — what’s your floor drill?
I tell them “PRs hate cold tendons,” then run a 90-second green light: 6 nasal breaths, 10 calf pops, 5 ankle rockers/side, and one 30 m build-up — if the opener feels sticky, we repeat once. @davidgonzalez89 I like your band loop; on icy mornings I swap the pops for 30 seconds of jump rope — what’s your tweak for shin-splint folks?
