Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

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?

I do circuits once a week, I go to a class so there's someone to shout at me :) We do weights, squats, planks, a bit of cardio, basically we cover the whole body. 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?

Got something to say?
