core strength

Scania Girl I'm just a taxi driver with no sports qualifications.


I think that I'd rather look at scientifically based practice regarding core stability from practitioners who can do their jobs (of rehabilitating elite level athletes) AND drive a car.
See papers in respected journals by C.A. Richardson, J.A. Hides, P.W Hodges, E. Ramussen-Barr and the Fellrunner article by Denise Parks...she does know her stuff, as we all have to, in order to justify our existence to NICE, these days.

Keep up with your own training methods, with pleasure, they may well work for you. But try not to use your "singlecase study (of yourself) method" to convince everyone.
Look at the science in a more openminded way than you appear to want to in your posts. (Or, if you are just taking the pi$$ then do so without belittling other peoples experiences.)
Thanks.

Well said that man!

For the last 6 months or so I have been going to fitball class once a week to improve my core strength. This time last year I was getting aching in my stomach area after very long, off road runs. This year I'm training more, running longer off road and without the pain. So I am a fitball convert.

Chugger if you think I'm joking then you're wrong about me.What gets me is you tell me to look at the science and have an open mind, yet you dismiss perfectly good training advice I gave to another.

What you really mean is you'll only consider ideas from 'respected' sources.Those who belong to your clan and distribute worthless training advice about 'deep postural thing'(s).

Science is all about having an 'active mind' and judging ideas critically, even if they come from taxi drivers.Open mindedness is not applicable to me,or scientists because not everything can be true.

No Christopher. 'respected advice' comes from those that have been there and done it. My previous coach has got numerous athletes to the Olympics, plus I know he has furthered his knowledge from some of the best athletes and coaches in the world - I know this because I've sat with him and the best athletes and coaches in the world whilst he's interrogated them on their training methods. Walking the walk, not just talking the talk.

What works for one doesn't always work for another be there scientific evidence or not. We should all respect one anothers views, evidence and experiences.

No one respects advice that's wrong!

Would building up my core strength help me get up the bigger hills?????????

I live,train & race in the North East, and manage ok, but whenever I venture to the bigger hills (Black Combe so far this year) I get aches and pains in my lower back whilst climbing. (This eases with the gradient)

Should I do some core strength stuff or just get on the bigger hills more often?

It depends on what you mean by 'core strength?'

The aching in your back is just lack of conditioning in that area.Squats and deadlifts with a barbell will strengthen up that area.
