  • In today's video I share a 40 minute Kenyan core session that some of the best long distance runners in the world do 2/3 times per week. They are brutal- there's no other way to describe them- but if you can get it done you'll have a core strong enough to handle your next marathon.

    Not a criticism of Ben at all, rather just a word of warning if you’re new to this type of exercise….it is pretty advanced! I overworked my hip flexor due to compensating for a lack of core strength which has all but ended my plans to run Valencia. Again, this is not intended to be aimed at Ben whatsoever but for those of you like me who aim to go ‘all in’ (male ego thing?!) rather than strip things back/adapt to your level of ability, just be careful…
    Thanks for the great content mate 👍

    @fett84 8 місяців тому

    Any chance you can add a video about how they stretch? It seems like for distance running, you don't necessarily want to be flexible everywhere, and that it's more ideal to prioritize certain areas to be flexible in. I would love to see where these runners are flexible and compare their range of mobility to my own.
