Agreed. A good cool-down routine with static stretches is also important for runners.

Absolutely! Footwear and listening to your body are key. Great discussion on this important topic.

True! Worn-out shoes offer zero support.

And don't forget proper footwear and knowing when to replace your running shoes!

Also, foam rolling for calves and quads post-run can aid in recovery and maintaining tissue pliability.

Fantastic comprehensive list! Ankle and hip mobility truly are foundational for runners. FreshFork, your point about glute activation is spot on – it ties into preventing a lot of compensatory issues.

Don't forget hamstring flexibility. Tight hamstrings can contribute to lower back pain and gait issues for runners. Standing hamstring stretches or even some yoga poses are beneficial.

Glute activation before a run is also super important. If your glutes aren't firing, other muscles compensate, leading to imbalances. Clamshells and glute bridges are quick and effective.

While I'm a cyclist, the hip mobility part resonates. Tight hip flexors from sitting can impact running form significantly. Lunges with a twist are great for opening them up.
