#47 - Getting Started: 5k Challenge

Not many people can say they can take a hammer to the building that started their fitness journey, but that's exactly what Seán talks about doing as he opens up this episode of the podcast.Apart from finding out if strawberry butter goes well on chicken and waffles (you just know Eric is still in America with food like that), the lads talk about getting started with your running; what to do, and the mistakes to avoid. In particular, they talk about: - Why you should embrace and be proud of your times, no matter what they are - How to approach that first run - How to focus on your breathing - The one principle that Eric applies to his training that is especially important when you are starting out! - Cross-training with your running - Running technique - Setting goals for the first 5k (this answer might surprise you!)And more! They also announce the winner of our Instagram competition to end the show and quickly go over their Superbowl quicks... well, Eric tries to make it quicker but Seán is still bitter...To get involved in the 5k Challenge, be sure to add yourself to our Running Group asap:https://www.facebook.com/groups/anygivenrundayAnd if you are interested in coaching with us, check out our website:https://www.AnyGivenTrainingDay.comALTAR Speed Dust is engineered to keep fuel in your tank so you can go faster, farther and longer than ever before.
