When you are training so hard you want to make sure that you are training
the whole body, you are not just focusing on LEGS.
This is what a lot of trail runners over 40 do: they get obsessed with legs, obviously you need leg strength,
you need to focus on long runs, and vert and all the good staff…
BUT if you want to be more efficient and finish your next big ultra strong, not destroyed you need to focus on training
your core as well. Not just sit ups, but loaded CORE.
When you have a strong core your running form late in the race will improve, you will not be collapsing, you will be able
to run more efficiently with your strides you will be able to enjoy trail running even more.
So train your core with variations of exercises, here are 3 you can start today:
Cable single arm rows.
Heavy wood chops.
Rotational step ups.
If you want to train more effectively, I have a free guide, comment the word GUIDE and I will send you the link.
