🔥 PLANK CHALLENGE DAY 16: Second Day at 50 Seconds!

Hey Ageless Runners! Great work hitting the challenging 50-second milestone yesterday on Day 15!

Today, we are doing something critical for running resilience: locking in that 50-second baseline. Consistency at this duration means your core stabilization is becoming a reliable, unconscious habit—which is exactly what we need when fatigue sets in during a long run.

✅ TODAY'S MISSION: Day 16

Hold Time: 50 seconds (Repeat from yesterday)
Sets: 3 sets
Rest: Rest for 60 seconds between each set.

Focus for Today: Resisting the Hip Drop

At this longer duration, many runners start to experience the "Trendelenburg Plank" (where one hip drops or tilts excessively) as the oblique and glute medius fatigue. This mirrors what causes knee and hip pain during running!

Mental Cue: Focus 100% on keeping your hips perfectly level. Engage your gluteus medius by trying to pull your ankles toward your elbows (even though your feet don't move). This creates full-body tension.

Drop a "DONE" when you've finished, and let us know if you felt stronger today than you did yesterday! 👇
