This eBook will introduce a lot of different exercises which you can use to strengthen the whole of the core. They are put together in 12 short circuits to allow you to improve your core for running.
Generally speaking we tend to focus on the abdominals and mainly the rectus abdominal (the middle muscle). It is important to understand that the core is shaped like a cylinder. On the roof of the core is the diaphragm, on the base is the pelvic floor, on the front we have the rectus abdominal, on the sides we have the obliques and at the back we have the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum.
The best analogy for the core is to think about it like a can of coke. When the can is in its normal form you can put a lot of force through it as a compressive force. Think about that same can with a dent in the side of it. Any compression that goes through it will cause it to compress further. When the core is not strong we then have no strong point to generate force or absorb force.
Rather than just focusing on the abdominals we will look to introduce basic diaphragm and pelvic floor work as well as the lower back.
The muscles around the spine and pelvis protect them from excessive force. They are also key in providing pelvic stability and lumbar spine stability. During running a strong core will help generate positive force to drive the body forward creating propulsion.
When including the core in the training routines you will help to recover from injury, reduce the risk of injury but also provide a strong base to improve performance.
