Glute Rainbow Stretch
Sam Kaufman, DPT
The Glute Rainbow is a great exercise to strengthen your abs and glutes to help push your hips forward when running. Ideally this exercise can be done before running, but doing it anytime can be helpful!

Diaphragmatic Breathing
Jes Davies, PT, CFMT, CMTPT, CSCS, 500eRYT 
When performing diaphragmatic breathing, inhale through your nose and exhale through your⁣⁣ mouth. As you inhale, your chest cavity fills with air, the diaphragm drops⁣⁣ down toward the pelvis and the pelvic floor lengthens.⁣⁣
As you practice, make sure your pelvic floor muscles are relaxed so they can engage in their full range of motion.
