Hi folks,
I was out on a nice evening trail run today. The moon was bright, creating black outlines of the trees against a dark bluish sky, and the trail was nice and soft underfoot. Boy, it’s good to be alive! As I was running I thought, “what about all that Pilates and Continuum core work I’ve been doing, can I apply it to my run?” So, I did. I focused on running from my core, engaging each side of my core in synchrony with my limbs, relaxing shoulders, head floating. And I’ll be damned, it felt so easy to run, especially on the hills.
Core Running with some good advice. From: http://goo.gl/aLojC
When I returned home, still not having written my daily blog, I decided to look for articles on core engagement whilst running. To my surprise, I found a site called Core Running. How about that! I looked their site over, read the blurb, and came across this statement, “Practice smiling as you run.” I’ve heard this before, and it is excellent advice. Take a look, and let me know what you think. Anything that makes running easier, faster, and more enjoyable is fine with me.
