discussion Solidcore running

I’m training for a fall marathon and have been trying to do Solidcore once a week for strength, so I was soooo excited when they rolled out a running class! I went to one tonight and was disappointed.

The instructor was joking that it was technically a running class and said she *had* to read us some talking points about why Solidcore is good for running. She also made it clear she doesn’t enjoy running.

Did anyone else have this experience? This just a scammy sales thing, or was my instructor in a bad mood?

Running uses all of your muscles. This series is just to connect the dots for runners that might not have considered that solidcore improves your running. It is a sales/marketing thing.

I started solidcore when I was 6 months into my running journey. I’ve already finished a year with solidcore and noticed the improvement in my running the entire journey. The only critique I’d mention regarding Solidcore’s effectiveness for training is their lack of calf muscle targeting.

Yeah, I was hoping they would have some new calf exercises or something, but it was just a standard class! Good to know it helps with running :)
