I've made 2 or 3 x core sessions a week at the gym part of my weekly routine. I can vary it (more, less, concentrate on one thing or do a range etc.) within that, but Fetch helps - I try to keep the goal of doing at least 1/3 of my training as non-running e.g. if I do 6 hours running in a week, I try to do 3 hours non-running. It's as good a yard stick as any! I'm a bit behind at mo, because I'm ultra training so the long runs are really slow and 10+ running hours per week is tough to keep non-running up to that level! 2.5-30 hours non-running is usually my tops! :-)G

The Scribbler Jan 2014 9:43am, 23 Jan 2014 3,018 posts	0 The Scribbler I did 3 min plank at the end of my PT workout today, but it was 30 secs front then 30 secs each side and repeat. My PT (who is proper qualified) agreed that that's much better functional fitness. I was surprised I could manage 3 mins total like that after a tough session. There's always a bit of core work in my PT sessions either as part of the exercise or a specific set towards the end. And I do a short core class at the gym most weeks. I'm going to missi t tomorrow, so there's a reminder that I should do my own set at home. Thanks for updating the links Keefy
becca7 Jan 2014 11:02am, 23 Jan 2014 5,403 posts	0 becca7 I had got into the habit of doing core work and then slipped out of it last week as I found it hard to fit in during a high mileage week. I did Core H and Myrtl yesterday though, inspired by the revival of this thread.

HappyG(rrr) Jan 2014 4:04pm, 23 Jan 2014 21,685 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) I'm same becca, I like this thread as a good reminder. Scribs, I also do quite a bit of core within Pilates, Bodypump etc. and do try to concentrate on it in all gym work. Off to revisit P&D core link... Thanks Keefy. :-)G
