#178 - The Hybrid Athlete Blueprint - Cody Miller

In this episode, I sit down with the Strength Coach and Founder of Hoopie Hybrid, Cody Miller.  Cody and I met in 2010, when we were both working at Robert Morris University and have been friends ever since.  Cody spent over 10 years as a collegiate strength and conditioning coach before transitioning to tactical strength and conditioning 3 years ago. He runs and lifts (the kids call this “hybrid”) and is training for a 100-mile race in February. He cofounded Hoopie Hybrid with his beautiful wife, Cayt. It launched in January 2024 and comprises online, hybrid training groups and programs. Cody and Cayt enjoy hanging out with their two pitbull mutts, Millie and Ollie, and enjoy going to the beach every spare moment they can.We discuss:Cody's career trajectory from college strength and conditioning to the U.S military. Using your athletic pursuits to fuel your career. True effort comes from finding the extremes in your pursuits. Chaos, heart rate and zone training. An argument for zone 2 maxing. An argument against zone 2. Why must you practice what you coach? Being fit enough to push aerobic capacity. Using training to improve mental resilience. Creating wins and handling losses.Approaching an exercise modality where mechanical failure does not exist. The concept of durability and toughness. Eye-opening experiences in training tactical populations. A common person who can do uncommon things. Running won't affect gains… If you suck at both. Seasons of life and what's to come. Path dependency. The Biggest lesson for a young Cody. Greatest achievement as a coach. Find Cody:Website - hoopiehybrid.comInstagram - @hoopiehybrid @cody_hoopiehybrid @cayt_hoopiehybrid__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.
