Hybrid Training Origin And Early Limits
- Alex Viada coined "hybrid" to describe deliberate training that combines conflicting sport demands like strength and endurance.
- Early hybrid work proved feasibility but lacked data and detailed prescriptions, prompting later refinement.
Prioritize Session Objectives
- Prioritize session-specific readiness: ensure the athlete can hit the objective of each critical workout.
- If they cannot achieve the target stimulus, adjust sequencing or load rather than forcing consolidation of stressors.
Subthreshold Work Improves Quality
- Use a minimum effective dose plus one approach and refine intensity zones for more productive work.
- Training just under threshold often yields more high-quality volume with better recovery than repeated maximal efforts.
