How many of you runners out there want to run better? All of you, of course! Hopefully, you all do a warm-up before heading off (if not, we’ve got five running warmup exercises that take no longer than 3 minutes and also, what are you playing at?). Now, how many of you prioritise core exercises before heading off? The core plays a major role during your run, and these three exercises will help strengthen those ‘deep core muscles’, so you can perform even faster.
It’s understandable that the core may not be at the forefront of your mind before you lace up your best running shoes and dash out the door. When we think ‘run’, our mind immediately goes to legs, feet and cardiovascular health, so what’s our core got to do with it? Well, our core helps to stabilise us and a strong one can prevent back pain, reduce the risk of injury and prevent any missteps during your trials.
