Running Preparation Fifteen minutes of pre-run mobility prepares running-specific movement patterns. This routine opens hips for stride length, mobilizes ankles for impact absorption, and activates muscles for efficient running. Time spent here pays dividends in performance and injury prevention. The 15-Minute Pre-Run Routine Use dynamic movements that prepare the body for running motion. Hip Flexor Activation (3 minutes) JME 113: Open hip flexors for longer stride. Hip Circles and Swings (3 minutes) JME 108: JME 115: Dynamic hip movement prepares running patterns. Hamstring and Glute Activation (3 minutes) JME 134: Prepare posterior chain for propulsion. Calf and Ankle (3 minutes) JME 175: JME 178: Ankles ready for thousands of impacts. Running Drills (3 minutes) High knees, butt kicks, and skips activate running patterns dynamically.
