  • The way that I view hybrid athlete training, the way that I've approached hybrid athlete training, it is the combination and incorporation of endurance training, in my case, primarily running, and strength training, resistance training, the combination of those two.

  • because both have very important outcomes for healthspan, for lifespan, for your VO2 max, muscle development, metabolic support, hormone support, just being overall healthy and functional.

  • So there's a lot of reasons to train in this hybrid athlete training approach.

  • So one of the first questions that I received was, what does a typical week of training look like for me?

  • So 2025 sounds like a better timeframe to go after my next marathon PR.

  • I think fitness and working out and training and healthy eating and proper nutrition should be a priority for everyone.

  • And then we have our morning routine with the family,

  • Another concern that is often associated with high breathy training is how do I avoid overtraining?

  • And this is, again, not just applied to fitness or running or lifting.
