I need core stuff after 3rd bout of lower back ache in 2yr or so Do I do core n strengthening - as tony Audenshaw says on marathon talk -not as much as I should. I have been following3xweek marathon training , quite well for last 2 years , 9 marathons - including pb, it leaves time for gym/ core etc, but that more often or not lapses Help Any beginners Pilates or core DVDs out there which are good, I'll start reading lurking this thread & come back with some questions Physio who I've gone to for my lumbar5 problem recommends basic core
