Episode 21: If I Had to Start Hybrid Training Again, I’d Do This

If I had to start hybrid training from scratch — lifting and running — this is exactly what I’d do differently.Most people overcomplicate it early.They chase pace too soon, keep lifting like nothing’s changed, ignore recovery… and end up injured, burnt out, or inconsistent.In this episode, I break down the simple changes that actually matter when you’re starting out — especially if you want to lift heavy and run without it falling apart.We cover:- Why proper running shoes from day one matter more than you think- How to adjust your lifting to support your running- Why less volume (but high intensity) works better- Running on grass vs concrete and managing impact- The importance of proper running gear (especially for bigger athletes)- How to make running more enjoyable so you actually stick to it- Why pace doesn’t matter early on- How bodyweight affects performance and efficiencyIf you’re starting hybrid training — or feel like you’ve been doing it wrong — this will save you a lot of time.LINKSOnline Coaching:https://forms.gle/93WBonsKzkcjiHz57Programs (5K / 10K / 21K):https://liftheavyrunfast.myshopify.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/hybridcoachmike/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@hybridcoachmikeYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@hybridcoachmikePodcast (Spotify):https://open.spotify.com/show/1RBMi9U6tJECkkdpW54B7NLift Heavy, Run Fast Podcast Intro
