The Terminator Oct 2011 3:59pm, 22 Oct 2011 4,152 posts	0 The Terminator I'm certainly looking at it as up to one minute to start with.
sprouty76 Oct 2011 4:03pm, 22 Oct 2011 1,243 posts	0 sprouty76 I love Core H, been doing it for about a year now! I originally got it off the RW forums. I still can't do a full minute for the side planks...

Toks Oct 2011 4:17pm, 22 Oct 2011 26,021 posts	0 Toks As most of you know I will be doing the 10 marathons in 10 days next year may I am currently training seriously for it and need to be doing 200 miles a month can I do my core sessions on my days off? That is mon and tues, will that be sufficient or I need to include more days?
jaks Oct 2011 4:30pm, 22 Oct 2011 2,061 posts	0 jaks I've joined the group above. I've been trying to aim for 2 x core sessions a week (now doing them at home) and I attend an Iyengar yoga session every Tuesday and have been doing so for the past 4-6 weeks. It's amazing how much strength I have gained already but I know I can become a real slacker. S hopefully I will gain some inspiration from this thread. Please do not pair me up though TT as I would be quite useless trying to motivate someone, sorry

Kimbles67 Oct 2011 4:34pm, 22 Oct 2011 579 posts	0 Kimbles67 My core strength is shocking and really feel how poor it is on long runs now I had a look at that Core H and looks good, so will try and incorporate that in to my gym programme. Hoping my swimming will have started to strengthen it as well.
The Terminator Oct 2011 4:37pm, 22 Oct 2011 4,153 posts	0 The Terminator No trouble Jaks, welcome aboard! Toks is fine to do on rest days but I would still aim for at least one full rest day. If I was you though I would do leg strength work too for sure. I would aim to do this on a Monday but then the core work any day(s) as wont really affect your ability to run.
Liliaicha Oct 2011 4:37pm, 22 Oct 2011 6,066 posts	0 Liliaicha The further I run, the more my back hurts. I am going to be concentrating on ultras next year so this is my motivation for wanting a stronger core
Kimbles67 Oct 2011 4:43pm, 22 Oct 2011 580 posts	0 Kimbles67 I want to improve my half times next year as they are dire. I pretty much epitomise a tortoise when running lol. So maybe a strong core will help
