Last year I finished my first full marathon. It was definitely a test of the mind and body, but I was able to finish within a respectable time. I’ll probably run another full marathon in the near future but for this year, I’m going to back to my middle distances. Next races for me will be a 5K and then a half marathon in two months. I know I can easily run those distance at respectable times. So training wont be the issue. My goal for these two races will be to improve on my time. Below is a core workout I’ve used in the past that will shed weight in the midsection and in your running pace:
Core Workout To Improve Race Time
1) Planks with Alternating Leg Lifts
3-5 Sets of 1-3 Minute Planks
2) Pike Crunch
3-5 Sets of 20-25 Reps
3) Russian Twists (with or without added weights)
3-5 Sets of 40-45 Reps
