RE: March Or Die
Ah yes, core strength. Vitally important, but like stretching, something too often ignored. I am however happy to report that I am currently reading Ed Caesar's very fine book Two Hours in which he points out that the elite Kenyan marathoners don't generally do weights and don't stretch much, either. And their core strength is absolutely fine*.

So there's hope.

Maybe.

Not that there's much else by way of comparison between elite Kenyan marathoners and (ahem) the likes of us.



*He also points out that they run anything up to 250km per week, which may well have the spin off benefit of not requiring additional core strength work. Pah!
Run. Just run.
