➢ Message me “Hybrid training guide” and I’ll send it right over (FREE)

In this episode I go over different ways and strategies for managing strength training with endurance training, while getting results.

In this case, I’ll be referring quite a bit to my marathon training and how I managed it all.

(0:00) - Intro

(3:45) 1- Scheduling will be everything

Often I’d have to double up (early run, lift later)
Following your schedule instead of emotions will be KEY

(6:14) - 2- Follow a properly periodized routine

Running, lifting, etc

(8:20) 3- Prioritize what’s valuable to you

Might have to cut out bicep curls and other intense sports during these times

(10:40)- Get your free guide

(11:52) 4- Avoid cutting corners w/ strength training

huge mistake from runners

(16:16) - Recover like an athlete

Sleep 7–9 hours - your recovery is what drives muscle retention.
Manage stress - too much fatigue from both styles kills progress.
Stay hydrated and consider electrolytes for longer cardio sessions.

(18:03) - 6- Get used to being uncomfortable & embrace the suck

Soreness will be normal
Being tired will be normal

(19:47) 7- Understand the importance of listening to your body
