but not from doing ab exercises. -_-

is it normal for your core to hurt after running? I ran more today then I have in a long time and my core is in pain lol. my legs feel great and fine but oye does my ab area hurt...just wondering if I am doing something wrong or if this is normal.

    My core usually hurts after I "run" on the eliptical because I actively engage them. My leg never burn aftwards either....so I'd say it's pretty normal...especially if you're not an avid runner to begin with....I just hope in time my core strengthens enough!!! Good Luck!

    Completely normal! I often get sore abs after my soccer games in the summer. I'm pretty sure it's happened from regular running as well. Nothing to worry about! Just means you were doing a good job of having your abs engaged as you ran haha
