What if the thing holding back your running is your fear of lifting weights?

If you’ve ever felt torn between running and lifting, this episode shows you how to build both without choosing sides. I walk through what hybrid training really is, why it’s blowing up, and how to make it work even if you’re brand new. You’ll learn the mistakes that keep runners weak, the habits that hold lifters back, and the simple weekly structure that helps anyone get stronger, faster, and fitter at the same time. It’s a clear roadmap for training smarter so your body can finally do more without falling apart.

Key Takeaways

You don't have to choose between running and lifting. Combining them builds a fitness level that helps you perform better in sports and everyday life.
If you are a runner, strength training makes you more efficient. This means you can run the same pace while using less energy.
If you are a lifter, learning to run at an easy, conversational pace builds your cardio without hurting your strength gains.
