Hello and welcome to The Progress Theory where we discuss how to implement scientific principles to optimise human performance. In this episode we have Hybrid coach and athlete Alec Blenis.
It’s easier to understand programming for strength and endurance sports individually, but hybrid programming is more complex and that’s what makes it so exciting. But what are the best hybrid programming recommendations? In this episode, Alec discusses his journey into Hybrid training, his current goals and what he has learnt along the way. We also discuss key themes such as how to dissect your hybrid goals so you know what to programme and how to balance your strength and endurance training
