RTÉ Running Podcast: Devising strategy and avoiding taper tantrums

Over the course of 12 weeks, the RTÉ Running Podcast with Brian O'Connell discusses everything from how to run your first couch to 5k, to what are the best runners to wear, how to avoid injury and detailing the ups and downs of marathon training.

With just two weeks to go to his marathon in Rotterdam, Brian talks about the importance of tapering, and how best to prepare close to race day.

He also speaks with two coaches, Tony Kelleher and Evan Scully, about their approaches and strategies.
