Summary

Not all people who like running like running outside. Treadmill training is hugely popular, especially this time of year when there are colder, shorter days - but can you get a decent workout simply by pounding that machine? Well in this episode of RunPod, you will be convinced yes! Jenni is joined by 'Queen of the Tread', Barry’s Bootcamp trainer extraordinaire, Anya Lahiri. Anya is someone who loves running on the treadmill, and not outside. In this episode, you hear what it is that gives her the same buzz others get sprinting along the pavement. She also suggests some clever drills for you to try next time you’re in the gym, whilst sharing the very personal journey of training through pregnancy and how returning to fitness after giving birth is never as easy as we anticipate. Be warned, this episode will absolutely make you want to get on the treadmill and see if you can hit that 12.5!

0:34.2

us and perhaps even encourage you to try something new when it comes to running.

1:19.5

And for anyone that doesn't know what Barry's book camp is, it's pointless me explaining it.

1:23.7

You're here. Give us an insight. Oh God, I talk about barries and wax lyrical about barrys non-stop but

1:28.8

it is high intensity interval training which mainly happens on treadmills in fact it does happen on

1:33.6

treadmills and then um a floor-based component which is resistance work and it's all in a nightclub

1:39.5
