Do you have some dumbells at home?
I know this is pitched as a BEEFCAKE RAAAAAR! program but its actually pretty much about core strength if you're starting from scratch.

Nike training club app is brilliant for this. Some running specific strength videos and some general core stuff. All free and good variety

Training your core under load is important - this can be achieved through weights and bands. Also look to train it across multiple planes of movement - twists, shoulder taps, deadbugs, bosu ball crunches, gym ball tuck crunches, hanging leg raises too.
If you dont have balls etc then benches, a towel of a wooden floor, something heavy can make do and mend.
I'd also say to not forget your back - a strong and mobile back will help keep your core strong and help keep your head up and breathing strong all the way through.In this weather a 20min core/tanning exercise is a daily must do ;)

Has anyone got a core strength plan they have used alongside training for the marathon? Realise I should probably do something, but don't have the time/money to join a gym - any recommendations appreciated!
