I Found THE Lifting and Running Balance (My Hybrid Training)
Looking back to an actual week of training.
Lifting and Running = Hybrid Approach
Juggling marathon training and gym strength workouts can seem like such a balancing act, but I've found a groove that's been incredibly effective for me.
I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life—fit, organised, and strong!
Here's how I've been managing it all.
I've crafted a hybrid training routine that keeps me strong in the gym while prepping for my marathon:
Full-Body Training Split: I divide my week with strength days focusing on the glutes and legs, plus sessions targeting shoulders, triceps, back, and biceps.
Active Recovery: I've made room for an active recovery day where I dial it down a notch and focus on mobility work to loosen up any tight spots and help my body recover.
Marathon Training: To make sure I'm not neglecting either lifting or running, I split my runs into two sessions throughout the week. This way, I can give proper attention to both aspects of my training.
I've just filmed a new YouTube video where I share my current training split, including sets and reps! So, if you're curious about how I balance it all, have a watch!
It’s all about finding the right balance between lifting and running, listening to your body, keeping at it consistently, and, most importantly, enjoying every step of the journey!
I’m Preparing a Surprise!
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been reflecting on my journey and my whole transformation. This really made me think there’s something really missing that I haven’t seen anywhere else yet.
That’s why I’m working on a Spring/Summer challenge to help you find your hybrid training schedule while eating well and being more mindful.
I don’t want to spoil it just yet, but let’s say this: a few hundred early-comers will get benefits that nobody else will get again!
