Andy Butchart - two time Olympic 5000m finalist - is preparing for the 2022 seasons with a new roommate - his newborn Max.

We joined Andy at his local indoor stadium, the Emirates Arena in Glasgow for some intervals. Local 3:42 1500m runner Ben Potrykus joins Andy for most of the workout.

The workout: 8x800m (jog 200m), 4x300m (jog 200m).
