2nd Run

Up again this morning for the second day of training for the Counrty Music Half Marathon. I have dedicated myself to really try to focus on my speed work this time around since I continue to read in every book and article around that to get faster you cant just run long, but run fast....and I guess the people that right this stuff kind of know alot more about running than me.

I have also come to the realization that I must do some type of core work. Because:

  1. Many of the same articles I read say that core work is important for running efficiency
  2. My mid section is terrible.
  3. I don't like wearing a t shirt to the water park when I go with my kids

In this months copy of Runners World there is a good section on Core workouts and I am going to give it a shot.

We are going to try that core work from RW as well. It's no fun, and I am always too lazy to do it, but I'm going to try because like you said..lots of people who know way more than me say it is:)
