a woman standing on a running track with the words 5 essential hip flexor stretches for runners

Hip flexor stretches for runners are important to keep you running strong. Your hip flexors can often become tight, so it’s important you include a stretching routine as part of your training plan. Hip flexors help contract and pull the thigh towards the torso, allowing you to bring your knee towards your chest as you run. When you run, you regularly shorten the main muscles in your hip flexors, instead of lengthening them, which can lead to imbalances.
