i've read a few articles recently with people saying they work on their core strength, would I be right in presuming that's like doing sit-ups and stuff?

you can count my sit-ups then!
just the one, but gotta start somewhere...
this would be quite intresting if anyone has got any good programmes they follow
The straight leg sit-up is a good exercise for runners, because it works the pulling muscles of the upper leg as well as the abdominals.
Get someone to sit on your feet, and see if you can do 20.If you can, hold a weight behind your head.Everytime you improve and reach 20 reps increase the weight.Don't jerk at the bottom of the movement to get yourself going, keep it smooth.
20 hard reps twice a week is all you need.
