In this episode of the AGR podcast, Seán talks about his delight with gyms being back open again... while Eric is a little preoccupied in the prep for the Podcast.

Seán goes through his 8 Do and Don'ts in the gym as some gyms in Ireland open back up again

Done right, strength training can be a great asset to improving your running. However, it can be easily done wrong and given a bad rep. The important thing is to know why you're doing every exercise and how it's going to help your running. 

Is a 45 minute "HIIT" session really going to help you when you already have plans to do a couple of high intensity running intervals that week?

Plyometrics can be good but is there such thing as too much?

Why you need to find a balance with Eccentric training work?

And how do the lads feel about incorporating CrossFit with their running programme?
