Episode notes
Bryan's Hybrid Training Journey
- Bryan Borstein has been doing hybrid training for years and noticed his cardio volume decreased by 20-30% this year.
- Despite lower volume, his performance in both biking and lifting improved, highlighting the potential of less-is-more in hybrid training.
Starting Cardio
- Start slow with cardio, especially if new, focusing on simply moving more before worrying about intensity or zones.
- Gradually increase duration or heart rate as fitness improves, using subjective feedback like the talk test to gauge effort.
Defining Hybrid Training Goals
- Hybrid training goals should focus on either health (e.g., heart health) or performance (e.g., racing).
- Goal definition informs training structure, balancing effort between lifting and cardio based on individual priorities.
