Rehearsal Based Warm Ups

@Sam_S

The idea of ‘rehearsal based warm ups’ is mentioned in the GPP Essentials film. Would someone be able to explain this a little for me?

Would something as using a bend run - coming off the bend or into the bend - to warm up for a 200m or 400m race be classified as rehearsal based warm up or does the term refer to warming up fully, then rehearsing the race section at full speed?

The issue with rehearsals is you may not have access to the track (hurdles etc) at all at big meets. What you really want is a CONSISTENT warm-up so there is no change between what works for you in practice and in a meet, so you are never surprised.
