1) Don't add 100% of a lifting program to 100% of a running program. Make concessions and be sustainable and realistic 2) Hybrid training and crossfit are not the same. Powerlifting and conditioning are done seperately in a hybrid program, do not support each other, and need smart planned programming to combine properly. 3) It's easy to undereat while both lifting and running. Eat enough to fuel an increased high volume of training. 4) Stick to the plan, build over time, let the gains come naturally, and don't just go for any PR just because it's there a day. Let go of your ego. 5) Adjust your programming to your body. Traditional running advice may not apply to heavier lifters who may need to adjust things like volume and calories to your current self. Running types getting into lifting have the other way around and may need to adjust ROM and volume.
These are concepts that are really difficult to "practice" but can make a world of difference. Coming from being over 360lbs and an absolutely sedentary life, I've had to slowly roll in changes so that I can make progress. First it was weight loss, then being able to move capably and confidently, finally to a point where I could train for a half marathon this past summer. Now with all of those experiences, it is now time to take the next step of that and reintroduce strength training for performance as well as running. Thank you for the considerations and thoughts to keep in mind while shifting
I've watched 3 of your videos and honestly every single thing you say is so extremely on point and so correct. I have never related to someone so much fitness wise and everything you say is exactly what I thought as well. I can learn from you brother. Amazing channel and amazing videos. You are a huge breath of fresh air. The fact that you say all these true things all for free on youtube as well is just a huge blessing. Thanks a lot and God bless you 💪
Would be good to see what you think of a hybrid workout plan for shift workers nights/ dayshift and how to balance it with long working hours and young kids With your plans is there a way to adjust it to sync in with a crazy work shift plan
You have mind reading capabilities! Ever since finding your channel every new video informs me deeply on some topic I’ve been pondering that very week! Your knowledge is as useful as always! I will be purchasing a training program once my current one has reached completion 👌🏻

I really respect this goal. I'm working towards finally reaching a 1000 lb total and running a marathon next year, I'd like to achieve something like below 19 minutes or even a sub 5 mile at the same time.
Food intake is, to me, the most complicated. I used to track EVERYTHING I ate during the day, but when I hit my weight goal some years ago I was done with that. Nowadays I'm always shifting between a surplus and a deficit, without really commiting to any, but I really need to get on with that, cause there's some belly fat that I want to get rid of. Great video, as always! Best of luck!
Just what I was looking for Ferg. I have lost a lot of strength by upping my cardio (running and bike) due to fatigue and i am guessing i am not getting nearly enough calories. Its also hard to push the heavy weights when you feel the fatigue and a lack of energy from cardio on top of work and family stuff.
Same with me, my bench press and pullup strength has dipped pretty hard in the past few weeks since doing marathon training. This has kind of bummed me out but my squats and deadlifts have been getting stronger at least
The thing that always gets me when hybrid training is my never ending appetite. Years ago when i was trying to gain weight (from 130lbs) was the days i needed something like 4500 to 5000 calories to break even for the day
Great video. At seven minutes and 30 seconds, you used a very familiar piano melody that I’ve heard before but I don’t know what it is or where it comes from. Can you help me identify this?
Hi What’s the best app for me to download for hybrid training and programmes? I’m 42 and looking to change my training but unsure what the best app to use for mixing strength and endurance , cardio and trying different exercises such as multi joint movements , olyometrix etc Any suggestions appreciated
Currently feeling point 5… Any advice on where the shallow end is? As a light runner I’m enjoying weight training at home but feeling swamped with info/market saturated with protein cereals and supplements. 😮💨
Brilliant content! Would it be ‘bad’ if you started to put on weight while hydride training? Or would it still be possible to train, say for a oly tri or longer tri & strength training resulting in increased body weight and improve your endurance for such events?
The strength training is not increasing your weight, your calories in vs out are out of balance. Whether that is good or bad for you and your goals, I can't comment.
Heya Fergus, thanks for the great content. I've been doing hybrid stuff since 2016 and it's been a blast. However recently found out that I have some cartilage damage under patella in my right knee. Not sure if it has anything to do with all the hybrid volume I've been doing. Have you ever had any knee issues yourself? Do you believe that with your level of training volumes you can maintain knees and other cartilage issue free?
I have quite severe cartilage damage in my knee due to two dislocated patellas from rugby days. I do a hybrid method and today ran a 18 mile trail run. Lots of knee stuff on line which helps but find the "kneeovertoeguy" has great content which has helped me
Good video. Mixed athlete here. I have been really using the low heart rate easy runs to recover from lifting. And leg day starts with movements that aid in recovery from running.
I like that people are starting to do this, however I have and always will disagree with the term “hybrid”. I think a true “hybrid” athlete would train for a skill based sport, more so in line with lifting and being a professional sports athlete, rather than just lifting and running. Because there is no lateral/speed/agility/functional aspect in the training. Not sure if I did a great job explaining that but I think hybrid should be weight plus cardio plus skill.
Weightlifting and Running are skill-based sports but what you mean is more dexterity and agility focused sports being mixed in. I think that would make a far more complete athlete as well. That being said, training to be a hybrid athlete is training at two completely separate activities concurrently in order to perform each of them independently so if you compete in running as well as in weight lifting you are already a hybrid athlete. If you run and lift weights as the event, you are training for one singular goal and this is not hybrid training any longer. Two separate independent goals that are driven towards concurrently.
Also, for example, the weightlifting and running you do to get better at lacrosse does not make you a hybrid athlete. These are just S&C practices to make you a better lacrosse athlete. If you trained to be better, and showed improvement in your skill, as a lacrosse athlete, a 5k runner, and as a powerlifter at the same time without doing one and then moving onto the other, then you could be considered a hybrid athlete.
What kind of rep range are you looking for when doing an AMRAP to end a session? General range if you’re doing less than your top set weight versus your top weight is your AMRAP- assuming top weight is 85-95% similar to the 5-3-1 program.
Well because of the uneducated bodybuilding community people think they should lift and then do cardio, or do cardio to warm up and then lift, even though the data says to lift and then recover for four or more hours and then do your cardio.
@@RussellDeacon which works for him. When i go running, after I've cooled down I'll grab my clubbells and kettlebells and do my rotational work. After 3-4 hours of legs I'll eat, go for a long walk, eat&walk again. Active recovery lol

Balancing out weight loss and maintaining muscle and trying to be lighter for endurance! This all takes a genius in my opinion!

Useful and in depth video aside, that transition at 9:33 was beautiful! 👌🏻
Doing my first half marathon solo next week after 16 weeks of training. Inspiring to see someone finish without training!
Great video, thank you!
Impressive pace after a deadlift , agree about CrossFit !
Great video! Great content. Definitely inspiring my own training. Thank you
Sir, you are a big inspiration ! Kudos and Respect from India !!
Can u make video on hybrid training for triathlon + powerbuilding

Let's go then, deficit has been chosen- you got this.
@@danbrady_coaching You are right! I have to get on with it and commit! Let's F**** Go!
Hardly any part of competitive crossfit training is randomised. It follows the same principles as Fergus lays out in point two for hybrid training.
Just what I was looking for Ferg. I have lost a lot of strength by upping my cardio (running and bike) due to fatigue and i am guessing i am not getting nearly enough calories. Its also hard to push the heavy weights when you feel the fatigue and a lack of energy from cardio on top of work and family stuff.

How far apart do you space your strength work and endurance work to avoid maladaptation?
love the Warcraft call out!!!! LEEEEROOYYYY JENKINS!
The thing that always gets me when hybrid training is my never ending appetite. Years ago when i was trying to gain weight (from 130lbs) was the days i needed something like 4500 to 5000 calories to break even for the day

Fergus what if the miles are 120+?
Really want/need to hold onto size *250lbs
But the training is killing me and I’m old at 50 miles 🤣
What shoes are you wearing doing the deadlifts?

How would you work out the weight for your AMRAP set?
Class. Subscribed
please make another video describing how EXACTLY how your hamstring felt……and the definition of the word you used to describe your hammy😂
Great stuff here.
Wow ! Deadlifts got your arms swole 💪 🏋
Any influencer that quotes Babe while lifting heavy things is alright in my books 😂
Would you ever compete in Hyrox? Seems like a sport you may be suited to..
Good video.
Mixed athlete here.

If we are ignoring basic definitions then yes you are right.
No
You only think that because you’re a lacrosse player.
Frenchie 8:49 that’s all that matters

Bloody legend
I squatted 100kg and ran a 10-minute mile in the same day... I guess I can only improve from here, right?
Hybrid athlete the new marketing term for a new business to take over where CrossFit was 10 years ago.
Ohh then he goes on to talk about this in a salesman way. The fact that this guy has to talk this shows this is a rebranding of original CrossFit.
💪🏻
Well because of the uneducated bodybuilding community people think they should lift and then do cardio, or do cardio to warm up and then lift, even though the data says to lift and then recover for four or more hours and then do your cardio.
Let’s be honest though, most cardio for bodybuilders is simply walking on a treadmill. 😂
Kind of. Fergus has talked about spacing different stimulus out and putting say lifting and higher zone cardio closer together.

Hamstring is feeling a little bit what ? 😂
I am actually Batman
Not the most important thing in the video, but is your microwave in a cupboard?
Explains the difference between hybrid methodology and CF then commences to perform an AMRAP🤣🤣🤣... the irony
Get to the point
