With Eric having signed up for the Cork Marathon on the June Bank Holiday weekend, he enlists the help of Brian Keohane, who has run the Cork Marathon 4 times, to break it all down for us.

Brian (@brian_runs_) is running the marathon in memory of his friend and neighbour Aidan Flynn, who sadly passed away at the young age of 36 from cancer last June, leaving behind a wife and three kids. He is raising money for the Mercy Hospital to help them raise funds for the cancer care centre. You can find more details, and support Brian, by clicking the link below:

The Podcast has gone international as Eric takes a break from falling around the ski slopes in France to join Seán on this week's episode.

Today we talk about why sprinting is recommended as the number one activity for burning fat; why that might be the case on paper but why we don't necessarily agree with it

And after his cliffhanger ending to last week's episode, Eric drops his nutrition nugget of the week... but also threatens to fight you if you take him up on this one!

In the intro to this week's Any Given Runday Podcast, Seán talks about continuing to try and step out of his comfort zone with his fitness, this time signing up for the National Fitness Games in April. He talks about what motivated him to sign up and why he felt like a hypocrite helping others at last year's event.

After the intro music, Eric talks about his 'challenge' as we venture down a road on the Any Given Runday Podcast that we never really have before.

One of our goals, when we decided to do this podcast back in January 2020, was to be completely open and transparent in our fitness journeys. We talk about our ups and downs, our whys for training, our approaches, and what has helped motivate us along the way. This episode goes even deeper, and we hope you enjoy it.
