Raise your hand if you’re slacking on your core work now that the mileage is piling up during fall training?
If your hand is raised, you aren’t alone. Many of my clients struggle to fit in core work and strength training once the weekly mileage starts to peak and there’s very little time to do anything other than run, stretch and shower.
The solution to this problem is simple. You don’t have to spend an hour doing core work, you just have to commit to doing a little bit most days of the week.
A good way to get started back with core work is to do this workout on the days you do speedwork and recovery runs.
That’s not so hard to commit to, right?
