stretch before and after every run,
I use stretches from Meb Keflezighi's book, stretches I see figure skaters do and stretches I see on Seth DeMoor channel.
I do hip flexor loosening up exercises - where you stand and lean against something and sweep one leg at a time thru a 100 degree (or whatever) arc side to side for a ten rep then and also do the weeping motion back and forth ten times each leg. Also do a lot of squat stretching.
But I think my constantly switching and alternating neutral shoes is very beneficial to knees, ankles and hips.
