Join Tim Riley as he sits down with Alex Viada, the pioneer of hybrid training, to explore its evolution and discuss the future of hybrid athleticism. Alex shares his journey from a powerlifter who couldn't run a 5K to becoming the athlete who deadlifted 700 lbs and ran ultramarathons.
In this episode, they break down the true definition of hybrid training, the challenges of training for seemingly incompatible sports, and how this approach has evolved from being considered impossible to becoming a mainstream training methodology. Alex also discusses his new book, "The Ultimate Hybrid Athlete," which updates the science and programming from his influential first publication.
Alex offers invaluable insights on program design, the importance of movement as we age, and the dangers of fitness elitism. Whether you're an experienced athlete or just starting your fitness journey, this conversation delivers practical wisdom on balancing different training modalities for optimal performance and longevity.
