Why You Need to Run Slow to Run Fast

Ultimate Core Routine for Runners

Even though we primarily use our legs when we run, a strong core will benefit you and your running in endless ways. Sometimes the sheer number of routines and exercises out there can feel so overwhelming you end up doing nothing instead, but here’s where it’s important to remember all core work is good core work, and that the exact sequence doesn’t matter too much at the end of the day. With that said, we have a go-to routine that we try to do at least twice a week – it’s sweat inducing, will make your core burn and is guaranteed to give you a sense of immense satisfaction once it’s done. Feel free to modify as per your liking and experience, and hey – if you’re new to core work all together, start out gently and don’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t do a certain number of repetitions and whatnot. Stick with it, and you’ll be surprised by how quickly you’ll develop strength and skills.
