We're back! 

Well, kind of... We thought with another lockdown and the Dublin Virtual marathon this weekend that we would do at least one more podcast to give you some tips and advice from the lessons we've learned while doing the marathon in the past.

Plan in advance, get prepared, realise the mental battle that is ahead of you because you have already done the physical work and ENJOY IT!

Seán and Eric look back on the last 8 and a half months recording the Any Given Runday Podcast and why it's time to say goodbye... for now.

Thank you to everyone who has listened and subscribed to the podcast over the last 8 and a half months. As we wrapped up this episode, we talked about how when we look back on 2020, we'll always think of Covid-19 but one of the positive things will always be this podcast and the people we met through it, including our guests and the Facebook Group.

It was a helluva run... of course, pun intended

Thank you

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?

Before we talk about today's episode of the podcast, we want to say a huge thank you to our members in the Any Given Runday Run Club that continue to run and push each other each and every week on the group. This episode serves as an appreciation episode to you guys.

This past weekend was the 5k PB attempt for a lot of our running group members. Seán talks about his 5k PB attempt and how anything can happen on 'Any Given Race Day.'

The Seán and Eric then talk about the advice they have received from others in the running group as well as how they have progressed over the last few weeks and how great it was to see their journey and results over the weekend.

The lads talk about their struggles and being humbled doing Yoga sessions with Dani in the group, especially with the strength training element brought into the Yoga session this past week. Thanks, once again, to Dani for the last 4 weeks of Yoga training!

What's next? With the country opening up more now with gyms, pubs, hairdressers etc you may think it's time to wind down this social distancing running club? But with the community feel we have gotten over the past few weeks, we have decided to make things even bigger! Keep an eye on our social media pages for a plan to push towards a 10k PB very soon!

Thank you for listening to this week's episode of the Any Given Runday Podcast. If you are enjoying the episodes, we ask for a little favour in that could you leave a 5-star review on iTunes. This will help us get bigger and seen by more potential listeners of the show.

We have a very inspiring podcast for you guys today as Ciara Beuster takes us through her journey from not evening knowing you could sign up for a half marathon to finishing a full Ironman and qualifying for the Half Ironman World Championships.

Having never met Ciara before but hearing in his circle of friends how Ciara has inspired others to take up running, Eric knew he had to get Ciara on the podcast.

In this episode, Ciara takes us through her journey into running from signing up for her first marathon in Dublin, multiple marathons in Berlin (including hitting a 3:28 Marathon PB), signing up for a full Ironman, having never done a triathlon at the time of signing up, how she got on during that Ironman, how she faired in the Half Ironman World Championships and her advice for anyone that wishes to take up running.

You can check out even more about her journey by clicking on the link to her blog below, that we talk about in this podcast episode:
