#64 - Why Cardio for Fat Loss Might Not Be A Good Idea, Training Goals, Burning Treadmills and Pints

A random episode of the Any Given Runday podcast as Seán kicks off the podcast with a rant on cheaper treadmills and waiting two hours for a pint in a hotel before we get into the running topics for the show. Eric talks about his running and his recent problems going for longer runs as of late. The guys then talk about how cardio alone may not be the best answer for fat loss and how the re-opening of gyms may help. Other topics discussed in this week's episode include:- Nutrition for fat loss- Basing your goals around things other than the scales- How personal goals have been developed over time- The telltale sign between the difference between a good and bad 6-week challenge and what to look out for. - Having balance with your training and diet.- Why the Biggest Loser is not good for fat loss You can sign up for our next 6 week Running Challenge by following the link below:https://www.trainerize.me/profile/anygiventrainingday/?planID=127349Use the discount code: PODCAST20 to get 20% off the running challenge that will help you build towards long term, sustainable goals, the right wayThe Ultrapure 5K Running Bundle is a must have for your running routine.
