Running and Core Strength

Saturday September 20th is set as the day to try running a 5k race for the first time in a long time. I've liked, for years, the Run for Research organized and supported by the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta.

Great draw prizes as well.

Today I ran 3 1/4 miles on a treadmill to check if my knees have a chance of coping. I've iced and thus far the knees seem OK. I've posted multiple times about trying to persuade 65 year old knees that they are happy about running.

See this piece about "Knee Lubrication".

The main reason for posting this is the video I came across when booking my place on the run. Active.com has this video on Core Strengthening to support running. It will be 5 minutes well spent looking at it.

If you've not previously run into Active.com then take a look. I find it the easiest way to find and enter events.
