Struggling with tight hips every time you hit the road? You’re not alone and, if you spend the majority of your day sat down, it won’t be helping. Tight hips are a runners worst enemy; it can seriously impact your performance and even increase the risk of injury. However, ultra runner and certified running coach, Yana Strese, has a 10-minute mobility that she says has been a “game changer”.
“It’s helped me improve my stride length, loosen up my tight hips, and get my muscles firing more efficiently,” she wrote on her post. “Believe me – you don’t need to be able to fold yourself like a pretzel for this one, I’m far from the most flexible runner, but mobility work has been a game-changer.” Strese also adds that this routine isn’t just beneficial for runners either, but anyone who finds themselves plonked on a chair too often – excellent!
