Range of motion, dynamic warm-ups, and tight muscles: Dimity chats all things mobility for runners with Dr. Erin Kling, who practices at The Running PT's in Cary, North Carolina.

Erin tells us:

—How you can tell if you're needing to work on your mobility;

—Why it's good to have muscles that are a little stiff;

—Why aggressive stretching doesn't help your running;

—And why your inner thigh muscles (adductors) are surprisingly tight.
