Liliaicha Sep 2014 8:44pm, 30 Sep 2014 9,216 posts	0 Liliaicha I did that 6min kettle bell session again tonight. I really like it for some reason. I'm only using a 2.5kg weight, but that 'high plank' exercise is REALLY tough!

HappyG(rrr) Sep 2014 8:52pm, 30 Sep 2014 22,877 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Core is same as any other training - start gentle, build it up, take rests periodically. Even more than running, technique must be even more important with core, I'd think, given that it involves a lot of hingeing from your back etc. Go careful Bez! G

Had a busy few weeks as it seems to be half marathon season for a fair few of my clients and busy with my own training. Been toying with new conditioning techniques for people. By the moans and death threats I've been getting blood shunting seems the way to go 😈
