Why Most Lifters Fail at Running

 

You've tried adding running before. Maybe you got hurt. Maybe you burned out. Maybe you just hated every second of it.

The problem isn't running. The problem is trying to combine a full running program with a full lifting program and hoping your body holds up.

It doesn't work. You end up overtrained, injured, or you quit.

This program fixes that.

What Makes This Different

 

The Hybrid Foundation balances volume and intensity so you can build your aerobic engine without losing strength or size.

You won't wreck yourself in the gym. You won't run yourself into the ground. Every session has a purpose.

The structure: lift 2-3 days, run 3 days, follow the plan, get faster and stronger.

Who's Behind This

 

I'm Mike. Former firefighter, strength and conditioning coach, and current hybrid athlete.

Over the past 2 years I've dropped my 5k from 20:35 to 16:56 while (mostly) maintaining my strength.

And over the 2 years (and 10+ previous years) I've figured out what works and what doesn't when trying to combine lifting and running.

And this program is what works.
