Michael Wardian is a great example of how strength training can help him become one of the best consistent ultra athletes with over 300 marathons and ultras. He has many accomplishments including setting the record world record time in 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days and just completed a transcontinental run, “Running Home” in 61 days. Check him out on Instagram or learn more on his web site. Check out this video showing Mike’s three core strength exercises that you can do anywhere (dead bugs, bridge, bird dog)!
