#32 - Strength Training: How to compliment running in the gym (and what NOT to do!)


Listen Later

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?
