It's weird, but since I started watching your videos my life goals changed completely. Somehow, you awakened my love for hybrid training and now I can't live without it. Now I dream of going to the northern countries in europe and compete in the most extreme triathlons. Much love from Portugal and a major thank you!
I gotta say, the bridge analogy for vulnerability was pretty spot on. For me this really struck a sore sport for me as I've been dealing with terrible mental health for months, your channel has been a light in dark times for me, and it's encouraging me to be more open to my wife about how I feel. Thank you Fergus for being the voice that guides me through the dark times ✊
Started Triathlon this year after 17 years of lifting, still went to the gym 5 times while working 50 hours every week - absolutely get your point. Social life has been reduced to a bare minimum, not too mention any interests besides exercising. I'll finish an ironman 70.3 next week and then I'd like to prioritize lifting again because bigorexia hit me hard recently😅 ...And split up the disciplines because I've enjoyed this year's journey - I'd like to try long distance bikepacking and run my first marathon next year. Thank you for sharing your experience and experiences, both for hybrid training and mental health, it has been very helpful!
Spoiler: I have not, I’ve just had to realign on some significant business priorities (these will become clear soon) this year, and managed my training goals accordingly! (Much more context in video and podcast in description) Anyway, here’s a Q+A 🤝
Great video Fergus! Excited to see and hear more about the planned business/brand growth. So much fun watching your professional, physical, and mental health growth. And as always, I appreciate your vulnerability and discover mindset… it really is one of the things that separates you from so many in the fitness space that endlessly drone on about masculinity. You show us you’re a human and that makes you so much more relatable and real.
I mean if people are here for the same reasons I am, then they aren't on the spectrum of canceling people. Wise people vote with their wallets not with their unregulated emotions.
I am here because of Gavin and Stacey and being Fergus ex babysitter when I was 17. He was a sweet little boy. I wonder what he is doing now? Not sure how Mcadam played the part of Fergus in Gavin and Stacey? 🤔 funny script, though, I have to say. 😁
Love the bit about having a baseline of strength to work with. Could you do a video more in depth about this? ie is training almost exclusively for one goal for an extended period of time, then changing goals, more effective over the long term? And if so, is it more beneficial to have size and strength first? Either way love the Q&A thanks!

Hi Fergus, I found your channel just a few months ago while training for an Ironman. Just successfully completed the Mont-Tremblant Ironman this Sunday! Thanks for all the helpful content you produce! Definitely gave me some insight and motivation to keep pushing during training!
Parents from NW England, I was born in and grew up here until I went to university at 18 and was all over the place for a few years, and came back at 24 - and here I am, but sound like this…? 🤷♂️

Anyway, here’s a Q+A 🤝
Would love to see a video on tips of doing a strong man. Interested in doing one some day. Thanks for the video man!
Content is always legit! With all Hybrid all the time this Q&A feels like a great break in the video rotation! 👍🏼
Love your content and workout structure. I will soon be taking on the big 3 + 5K pr plan. Can’t wait!
Awesome!

Thank you! Appreciate it!
Combat sports without getting hit in the face equals Jiu Jitsu and we need to get you on the mat ASAP. Just let me know when and where.
what's the silly weekend car?
Comment your guesses below and I’ll like the correct answer (if you get it) 😂
@@ferguscrawley95 my whoop band, ordered with your link, will arrive today. Does that buy me any hints? 😂😂

20:50 😂 I recon they did that deliberately so the times looked OK.
Laughable, an insulting attempt to pull the wool over people’s eyes.
Hmmm… the wedding answer 🤔 Hmmm…
Get Fergus to 100k
Agreed 😂

In fact, I am here to say hi and check in on someone who tried to take his own life when his mum nearly died. Always here to listen if needed.

Thanks for the q&a Fergus. One question for a future video. How did you get into running, what program did you use to make your body used to it?
How do you ensure the ‘zone 2’ run / rides are at zone 2? Many thanks in advance.
I did wonder about that....why DO you have an English accent?

@@ferguscrawley95 THAT makes sense. Well, as a fellow Scot with an English accent, I appreciate the representation 🙏
