Episode 5 of the Any Given Runday Podcast and we are catching up with Seán and how he wants to combine gym sessions for strength training along with his running. One of Seán's biggest beliefs with marathon training is that too many runners are getting injured because they do little to no strength training.

So we talk about the exercises he recommends, approach to nutrition and more.

8:35: If Seán had to pick 3 exercises only for strength training to prepare for a marathon, what would they be?

10:30: Seán's approach to nutrition, why he would lean more towards a low carb diet instead of counting calories
