I really enjoyed this video, thank you for breaking this all down. I have definitely been undereating considering my weight training/cardio split. Thanks Fergus! Keep ‘em coming
Well made and well explained! I track calories, macros, and weight everyday. I find myself explain to my friends these concepts, and how they all work together all the time! Gonna send them this video from now on hahah.
Do you have any tips for a new hybrid athlete like myself on how to get started?? I played soccer in college so I have a decent base, but Im looking to really dive into full hybrid training, thank you for responding!
@@Jono01 I have a liberal outlook on PED use. So I couldn't care less. If anything I am very fascinated by people's PED protocols for specific purposes.
Solid explanation. I’m studying nutrition and this method hasn’t really been discussed but it makes perfect sense! I’m a triathlete with a gym background and I’m doing a few outlaw 70.3’s and IM Copenhagen this year whilst doing a couple of strength sessions. This approach looks appealing as the calorie output we expend each day fluctuates hugely! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
@@ferguscrawley95 cheers mate. Quick question, what would you class the activity level for weight training 1/2 times a week when cardio is at its peak? I can’t lift any more frequently as I’m not that conditioned. I was thinking “moderate”?
Love it mate, gonna be using this going forward. Do you include protein from carb/fat sources in your total protein requirement or just from complete protein sources?
Great content, so was approach #1 essentially saying we could skip the calorie counter website and go solely off a smart watch that calculates the total for that time period and eat 90%? I get confused on the calorie calculator that is estimating baseline based off steps and how active someone is. One person’s weight lifting session could be 30 min and another longer and more intense which would lead me to want to just use the smart watch x .9. Curious on your thoughts on going solely based off smart watch. Thanks!
Hi Fergus, top video! Out of curiosity when calculating protein intake, do you times by actual weight or by target weight (if looking to lose or gain weight)?
@@ferguscrawley95 for sure glad you have . I've struggled with doing both strength and endurance. And not hit plateu on both think I massively under eating on cardio days.
Hi Fergus. I was doing a 3 day full body split whilst training for a 50k race, I ended up so fat due to compensatory eating. I also was dog tired all the time. How do you manage fatigue? And how do you know if you're overtraining?
For the hybrid athlete looking for strength and marathon goals, which is better weights in AM and run in PM or vice versa or does it not matter? Thanks for the content on your channel mate!
All the science indicates lifting beforehand is superior from an adaptation POV for sure 👊🏼 Plus speaking from experience, it sucks a lot less that way 😂
I really hate counting calories and it is especially hard as my wife cooks most things from scratch and I dare not ask her to weigh everything first! Is the next best thing portion control?
I do my best to avoid them by implementing effective programming, which closely manages overall systemic fatigue, and put a huge emphasis on 'max effort' = the breakdown of technique, rather than total failure. I've had a few to deal with though, which have all come from well beyond sustained maximum effort on certain events, and if they come, I focus on what I can do, do it well, and recover so I can get back to work!
@@ferguscrawley95 cheers for the response, wasn’t sure if you would reduce calories on a full rest day that involved no strength training or cardiovascular work
I think unless you are a pro athlete like you, this video doesn’t work. I was lost within five minutes. I don’t know what 1.6 grams of protein or what 500 calories are in real life terms. I wish one day someone can make a video where they use real life information rather than grams, protein and carbs. For example, eat two lamb chops or drumsticks and a bowl of rice or a glass of semi skimmed milk or run two miles and eat six eggs etc. Then tweak it accordingly.
@@gazfin8651 fingers crossed. These pro guys always use technical terms that nobody understands, unless you are pro yourself. It’s like professional cooks who always talk about ingredients and measurements that nobody knows. 😃
@@Jj-ty7qh couldn't disagree with you more. This is basic GCSE level stuff. Every term mentioned can easily be looked up. If you don't understand it, it's because you're too lazy to put in the effort. That's the reality of it.
@@stevenhewes1990 well, funny enough, i couldn’t disagree more with you. I don’t know how far removed you are from GCSE stuff but I’m sure most people far removed would fail GCSE exams today. I think it’s a lot easier to use real examples but if you are too lazy to do that then fair enough. That makes us two lazy people. I guess.
The point I take away from this is that there is a method that can be put into practice and adapted to fit your body’s reaction. This helped me set my base caloric intake and an idea of how to account for my various activity through the week. What you’re asking for is a no-thought-required, one-size-fits-some solution… which is not Fergus’s approach. He’s given an excellent methodology here - if you want to learn how this stuff works, just make your best judgements and adapt as you measure your results! Alternatively, you can pay a trainer (like Fergus!) to give you a very detailed plan! Expertise can be accessed through deliberate practice or through your wallet - your choice :)
Great video Fergus! Currently training for a 400lb Back Squat and 6:00 mile and this is really insightful! Keep the content coming!
Thank you! Class, best of luck my man keep grinding 🤙🏼
“That is ABSOLUTELY…not shit” is probably my favorite compliment now
I really enjoyed this video, thank you for breaking this all down. I have definitely been undereating considering my weight training/cardio split. Thanks Fergus! Keep ‘em coming
Legitimately the only video I have ever seen to make this so clear and logical - THANK YOU!
Absolutely class video and probably the most informative video on this subject I’ve seen. Well done fergus.
Thank you Fergus for posting this. Most people would charge others for this information. Wish you all the best, glad to see you posting again.
This is so incredibly helpful, thank you Fergus!
Well made and well explained! I track calories, macros, and weight everyday. I find myself explain to my friends these concepts, and how they all work together all the time! Gonna send them this video from now on hahah.
Excellent video! Great breakdown! Thank you!
Always love a Sunday upload from Fergus thank you for everything you share 😁😁
Appreciate the info mate. Video content spot on as always 👍🏻
Thanks so much for this video, so much information in here! Can’t wait to optimize nutrition and training! 🙌
Thank you! Such a helpful video!
Excellent vid as always. Need another day in the life/week of training! I’m going through withdraw over here
just found ur channel 2 days ago , now i’ve been inspired to mix triathlon training with bodybuilding
Awesome to hear! Thanks for letting me know and best of luck with your training!
Such a good video! I recently found your channel and I love it, keep up with everything you’re doing! You’re an inspiration 💪🏻
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Do you have any tips for a new hybrid athlete like myself on how to get started?? I played soccer in college so I have a decent base, but Im looking to really dive into full hybrid training, thank you for responding!
Just the video/channel I needed. I'm trying to become a hybrid strength/endurance athlete too and your videos will be an invaluable resource!
Great to hear man, hope it was useful!
Found you on the duratus podcast, great tips on becoming a hybrid athlete. The uk 🇬🇧 Nick Bare 👊
Awesome mate thank you! Haha if only I had pecs like that 😂
@@ferguscrawley95 but you look more “natty” than Nick and functionally you can do everything he can. 😉
Nick bare aint natty yeh? If you know you know. There’s a reason why an individual keep that muscle mass whilst doing lots of cardio.
@@PhiyackYuh not my opinion. Going by the expert in natty or not, Greg Doucette. 😉
@@Jono01 I have a liberal outlook on PED use. So I couldn't care less.
If anything I am very fascinated by people's PED protocols for specific purposes.
Great video, simply explained - use of PP was very effective as well. Good effort bud 👍🏻
Cracking video, I even got my notebook out. Gonna get them goals this year!
Great to hear thank you! Best of luck for the year ahead 👊🏼
Another great video, keep up the good work 👏 👍

Great video. Something I definitely need to pay more attention to so having more info is really helpful. Thanks 👍💥🏃🏻♂️
Thank you my man 🙌🏼
Nice video Fergus, well worth the watch! :-)
Great video!! Very helpful, thank you 🙏
Great to hear! Thanks for watching ✌🏼
amazing video
Great content mate!
Thank you!
Excellent video and breakdown! No shame in the PowerPoint, very well explained!
Haha thank you! Appreciate it!
Top man!
Honestly thought the wind in the first clip was a death metal blast beat - got me in the zone
Awesome video as always. How do you go about keeping track of your weights and distances? do you just write it all down? use an app? or just memory?
Love it mate, gonna be using this going forward. Do you include protein from carb/fat sources in your total protein requirement or just from complete protein sources?
Great to hear my man! Protein from any source will contribute/count towards to the total figure mate!
Found this very useful!!!
Awesome to hear mate thank you!
Great video Thanks 👍
You’re welcome, thank you!
Such a good video sir, salute 🫡
Very informative and easy to digest 👀
Thank you mate! Good to hear 🤙🏼
I find if I don't track my calories when doing lots of endurance and weight training plus an active job I under eat great tips bud

Hi Fergus, top video! Out of curiosity when calculating protein intake, do you times by actual weight or by target weight (if looking to lose or gain weight)?
Thanks man, actual weight for sure!
Saving this video. To watch back to digest. And there is a lot of info here
Good idea! I thought I might as well be thorough 🤷♂️
@@ferguscrawley95 for sure glad you have . I've struggled with doing both strength and endurance. And not hit plateu on both think I massively under eating on cardio days.
@@shaunhaynes1997 could well be the case!
When eating back calories how do i spread it out again? Protein, Fat, Carb ? Say, I need to eat back 1,000 calories on top of my maintenance of 2400 ?
Brilliant content. What’s a brick session mate?
A brick session is where you train two disciplines on the same day right after each other, for example: ride the bike and go straight into a run
Great content Sir! Leared more than from my e-learning studies💪🏻
Hi Fergus. I was doing a 3 day full body split whilst training for a 50k race, I ended up so fat due to compensatory eating. I also was dog tired all the time. How do you manage fatigue? And how do you know if you're overtraining?
Thank you so much for this video! I know exactly what I’ve been doing wrong now! 🤙🏽

How could a keto diet be calculated and used is the same way as what you have explain in this video?
I really hate counting calories and it is especially hard as my wife cooks most things from scratch and I dare not ask her to weigh everything first! Is the next best thing portion control?
Next best thing is to start cooking yourself.
If I’m cutting , say 2000kcals (cutting calories) if I eat back cardiovascular calories will
I gain weight or will it be fine?
Cool. I thought I was a weirdo liking both weight training and trail running.
what app/website do you use to track your food and macros? thanks!
MyFitnessPal!
With intra workout carbs eaten would you take that off your calories burnt from the tracker?
Yes!
Very cool. It’s interesting that you lift weights in kg and measure your weight in lbs
Awesome fucking content brother
Thanks man!
How do you deal with injuries during your journey?
I do my best to avoid them by implementing effective programming, which closely manages overall systemic fatigue, and put a huge emphasis on 'max effort' = the breakdown of technique, rather than total failure. I've had a few to deal with though, which have all come from well beyond sustained maximum effort on certain events, and if they come, I focus on what I can do, do it well, and recover so I can get back to work!
Are you sticking to your base calories or reducing on a rest day
Baseline is baseline, so that's the starting point for each day pre cardiovascular work!
@@ferguscrawley95 cheers for the response, wasn’t sure if you would reduce calories on a full rest day that involved no strength training or cardiovascular work
Thank you! Does the intra workout nutrition count towards the total daily intake?
What is a brick session?
Bike session and then a run right after. Think of BRick!
I tend to eat everything In site drink shit loads of water and finish every day with a protein shake to make sure I hit my protein target 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 each to their own 🤷♂️
PowerPoint design not your strong point then eh?
KISS: keep it simple stupid x
