If you\u2019re reading this, there\u2019s a good chance that Fergus Crawley and Nick Bare inspire you as much as they inspire me. But there\u2019s a point where inspo meets reality and you realise that you don\u2019t have the time to cram it all in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a firm believer that training the hybrid way is the ultimate aspiration for most who are into their fitness. But I\u2019m under no illusion that building strength and running it\u2019s hard and time consuming. Otherwise, everyone would be doing it, instead of aspiring to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with trying to do more exercise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I recently came to that realisation when starting a new job, while training for my first marathon (and I managed to get injured right at the end of the training block lollll). There aren\u2019t enough hours for me to fit all my runs in and gym as much as my inner bodybuilder would like. Oh and on top of the meal prep, commuting, social time, etc. I could go on. But that would be making excuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is NOT to go full on hustle mode and optimise every second of the day. I\u2019m a human, not a robot. And you\u2019re a human too, unless you failed the \u2018I\u2019m not a robot\u2019 reCAPTCHA test. (failing to see that a pixel of a bicycle handlebar was in the square you didn\u2019t check, is that strange dividing line\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slight tangent there but the answer is to do less, not cram in more. It\u2019s to work out, in Silicon Valley startup-speak, the \u2018minimum viable product\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does that mean? Well I always say this to my clients\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best program in the world isn\u2019t written by the best coach. It\u2019s the one you can stick to.\u201d 99% of the time, that\u2019s going to be a simpler one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how I program my hybrid athletes\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to share a process with you that you can use to create and streamline a hybrid program that works for you. Not one that gets on top of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s at the core of how I program my hybrid athletes to smash their goals and still enjoy life. So I\u2019m pretty much giving away something other coaches would CHARGE YOU for ffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, here goes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core, we\u2019re getting clear on our goal and working back to fill our weeks with stuff that achieves that goal. Nothing more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Get CLEAR on the goal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
