Have you ever been told to “engage your core” while running… but had no idea what that actually means?

In this episode, we unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in running... your core.
And here’s the truth:
👉 It’s not about abs
👉 It’s not about doing more planks
👉 And it might be the reason you’re getting injured

We’re joined by physio Rachel Evans, who breaks down:
What your core actually is (hint: way more than abs)
Why runners, especially women, struggle with core strength
How poor core function leads to injuries, inefficiency, and fatigue
The biggest mistakes people make with exercises like planks
Simple, effective core exercises you can start today

If you’ve been dealing with niggles, lower back pain, or your form falling apart on long runs… this episode could be a game-changer.
