I know that core strength is important for me not only for my running but for lower back discomfort and sacroiliac (SI) issues I have. Therefore, I decided to do this 30 day plank challenge. I just finished day 5 and it is getting tougher every day!

I finished it!!! I would recommend going at your own pace though. In my 30 day challenge, I wasn't able to go past 60 seconds, but I'm definitely a lot stronger and am hoping to make this an ongoing habit.
Awesome, Tim! I posted it here for more accountability to finish it :)
Good stuff. Maybe I'll give this a go.
