How do you see core training in your running habit? is it a must for maintaining your PR? or just like chris mcdougall said ? ”we don't need those cross train or core training dose, just run if you want (he seems said it like that)”

- barefooted core train
I do a bit of weight stuff occasionally. But mainly yoga, not just for core but for overall integrity. I mostly do yoga because i enjoy it, but i do find it's very beneficial towards recovery and maintaining the suppleness and avoiding injuries.
I do a lot of core training because of a FUBARed back. I've noticed that running rough trails works my core, too. Smooth trails and roads? Not so much. If you mostly run on the latter, you might want to supplement.
so, how you do the core? after or before the running session? or you do it in separated time?
Everything from basic planks and bridges to whole-body work like Turkish get ups, one-arm pushups, one-legged deadlifts, swings, carries, etc. I do some core work every day as part of my warm up, but include the more intense stuff as part of my weight routine on a different day. Jay Dicharry has some nice running-specific exercises in his book and Verstegen has some basic exercises in "Core Performance".
I used to do some lifting and core workout, but I haven't done any lifting or core training since mid 2013. I might have lost a little bit of muscle bulk, but I feel in better running shape just running (and cycling - I do that a little too). Maybe if I didn't work full time I could do it all again but I just run out of time and basically just pick the couple most important things to me (running and cycling) and go with that.
