Скачать или смотреть Cossack Squat for Runners | Hip Mobility Warm-Up & Recovery Routine

The Cossack Squat is one of the best mobility drills runners can use to improve hip, adductor, and lateral-chain mobility. This movement helps support smoother stride mechanics, stability, and healthier running, whether used as a warm-up or recovery drill.

This exercise is part of Treeline Endurance’s Pre-Run Dynamic Stretching Routine and Proper Stretching & Recovery Habits Routine, giving runners a simple, effective way to maintain hip and inner-thigh mobility.

Use this movement:
• Pre-run as a controlled, dynamic warm-up
• Post-run as a gentle mobility and recovery exercise

Benefits for runners include:
• Improved hip & adductor mobility
• Better lateral stability for trail and downhill running
• Reduced inner-thigh tightness
• Smoother stride mechanics

How to perform
Shift your weight side-to-side into a comfortable squat depth. Keep the movement controlled, avoid forcing range of motion, and focus on staying tall through the torso.

Consistent mobility habits help runners stay healthy and train well, whether you’re preparing for trail running, marathons, or ultra running events.
