I’m very particular about my pre-run and post-run routines. Blame it on a recent history of injuries, but my prep and cooldown take longer than my actual runs at this point, with ab and glute activation exercises for a warmup and lots of foam rolling, massage sticking, and yoga as a cooldown. I’ve created my
