A few months ago, I made a goal to be able to hold the plank position for 5 minutes. When I first started, I was able to hold it for 2 minutes.
I haven't been doing any real core exercises to focus on being able to hold it for longer. I've just been doing my regular strength training in addition to my running.
Well, I timed myself today, and I was able to hold it for 3.5 minutes today. I have to be able to do it twice in order for it to count. (I know. I'm a bit psycho.) I kick ass. Maybe in a few more months I'll be able to meet that 5 minute goal.
I've got a half marathon this Saturday. I've been doing a run/walk method for my previous long runs because I was dying doing runs longer than 10 miles. It's been going pretty well.
I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do for the half. Part of me wants to try to run the whole thing. The other part of me wants to try the run/walk method to see what kind of results it will yield during a race. We'll see.
