HappyG(rrr) Feb 2014 8:58pm, 20 Feb 2014 21,800 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) I didn't run and I didn't swim and I didn't bike today. I did core. Where's the icon?! ?! etc. 60 mins down the gym - hip stretches, side plank 60s each side, 60 sit ups, adductor squeezes 3 x 20s, leg drops 2 x 20 each leg, push ups on wobble board, curls on wobble board, shoulder presses on wobble board. I believe this will make me a stronger runner! :-)G

Suffered really badly during TR24 with a very sore lower back, which I'm pretty sure was down to a weak core. So, I'm going to start off nice and easy with 3 x 10min sessions per week. Who's with me?

I'm going on holiday in 10 days time, but once I return one of my focuses for the remainder of the year will be to add consistent core work. I'm thinking about signing up for Kinetic Revolutions "30 Day Challenge" kinetic-revolution.com which I believe(?) includes examples of core exercises as well as running form techiques. Has anybody else tried this?

becca7 Jul 2014 12:17pm, 30 Jul 2014 5,625 posts	Quote Pin becca7 When I have been doing core work, and I confess that this has not been so common post Comrades, I try to vary it, as I have done Core H so many times. There is a new Coach Jay route that is Core X - more dynamic core work and a tougher workout, but shorter.
Liliaicha Jul 2014 12:25pm, 30 Jul 2014 9,133 posts	Quote Pin Liliaicha Think I will do, core H once a week, a slightly more chilled 10 min Pilates routine once a week and also a standing core routine once a week as well. Might go have a look at the core X one too.
