Callum Bampton Aug 2012 1:42pm, 14 Aug 2012 22 posts	0 Callum Bampton I'm aware of the importance of having a strong core e.g. strong abdominis, glutes, obliques etc. and these can be benefitted by circuit training and core exercises. So here are the questions I need answering.. (bearing in mind that my main focus is on having a solid cross country / 5k season) How often shall I use circuit training?? What exercises should I be particularly focussing on?? How does a strong core benefit runners?

It feels very good for me, it's very hard work. But if you want a crap core, stay as you are I know people who do bootcamp classes in local parks, have you got something like that locally?
