Hybrid Athlete Training Defined
- Hybrid athlete training combines endurance, primarily running, with strength training for overall fitness and functionality.
- It counters the old belief that running and lifting hinder each other and promotes health span and lifespan benefits.
Speed Project Training Example
- Nick is training for the Speed Project relay race from LA to Vegas, covering roughly 60 miles per person.
- His weekly routine includes about 50 miles of running and 4 to 6 strength sessions, balancing endurance and resistance training.
Make Time for Training
- To find time for running and lifting, prioritize what matters most and plan your schedule accordingly.
- Forward think and backwards plan to create space in your day, even waking early or staying up late if needed.
