Welcome back to another episode of The Game Plan podcast!

We've got an incredible episode today featuring Fergus Crawley – Hybrid Athlete and Co-Founder of Omnia Performance

In this episode, we explore Fergus's journey from rugby player to hybrid athlete, overcoming mental health challenges, and achieving remarkable feats in endurance and strength training. 

We dive deep into his transition from powerlifting to ultra-endurance events, the secrets to balancing strength and stamina, and the importance of maintaining mental clarity through physical fitness.

We also discuss the impact of alcohol on performance, the vital role of sleep and caffeine management, and practical tips for anyone looking to optimize their training regimen. Fergus shares his experiences with charity work, raising significant funds for Movember, and the lessons learned from pushing his physical and mental limits.
