Woke up this morning to a bunch of views - the RU-vid algo has found my people! If you’re new here, welcome! We just gettin started - let’s build this community and level up together 🤝🫡
Yo guys, run and train on different times like run in the mornings and lift in the evening, you will get the most out of both this way trust me hahahah
Asking for an advice here as beginner and overweight person. What if I do the workout alternatively? For instance Monday I go for running and the next day I hit the gym.
@@zulrawkstar90 Hey my man! good question. That is what I do, so the different muscles used during run/workout can rest and leave one day of the week to rest, you can do the lifting the way you think is better, being it full body 3 times a week or one muscle group each day ( Monday, Wednesday, Friday) eg
@@zulrawkstar90 that’s exactly what I do! I run a couple times per week then strength train the other days of the week. Find a routine that works for you. A lot of beginners eventually stop because they take too big of a bite and can’t keep it up. The most important thing especially when starting out is to STAY CONSISTENT and work your way up. Make it a habit to do some form of exercise everyday. It doesn’t have to be a full workout everyday, some days it could be a 15 min stretching routine and 15 min walk for active recovery and getting the body moving. This philosophy is from James Clear, this helped me a lot when building new habits: jamesclear.com/habit-guide
that's a great point how you said running is not only a physical exercise, but a mental one too. i recently got into running and it's super hard but rewarding. great job capturing your hybrid training in this series! excited to see week 2
Been on similar journey since 2023! Couldn't run more than 2-3 miles at a time in Jan '23. By the end of the year had run over 1,100 miles and 2 marathons (San Diego / San Antonio) Went from 4:29 to 3:55 marathon time. Continue w/ weight training 5 days a week. Don't plan on stopping! Keep up the good fight here. You are doing it right! Will be following.
Great video. I really liked the point you made about your ego convincing you that lifting alone makes you fit, but in reality it was you being mentally weak. I can relate with that. Couple months ago I had running goal and wanted to run everyday. I was making progress, but then I got a gym membership, and was watching lot of RU-vid videos on body game, and my focus became lifting. After consistently lifting, when I thought about running I had the same feeling you had, that I was being mentally weak, and didn’t want that feeling or struggle when running. Thanks for the motivation! I’m start incorporating running into my workout now.
This was really cool. I follow Nick Bare religiously which is probably why you popped up in my recommendeds. Followed here and found you on Strava. I'm also just starting my hybrid athlete journey as of last winter.
Me too - Nick Bare is such an inspiration! Cool to see this hybrid athlete trend bringing people together. Glad to have you here and appreciate the support!
@@justBCheung The 80/20 zone 2 helps immensely. I’ve been following a variation of that and MAF training for 3 years now and heart rate at a 9:30 pace is down to 135. My first half marathon was a 9:15 pace and it was 175 the entire time.
@@justBCheung honestly whatever fits into your schedule. I go on 4-5 runs a week. I like one track day, one long run, and the rest easy low heart rate runs. If you’re not training for a race, just do one longer run and make the rest easy runs or swap the long run out for a track workout to keep those fast twitch muscles working.
I’m right here with you! Started my journey 2022 and now I’m joining the United States AirForce! You can achieve anything as long as you put your mind to it!
Thank you for sharing your journey! I have recorded my journey too, but I'm too shy to post it. You inspired me to start sharing too. I hope you never stop anymore. Keep going!!!
So happy to hear this -this is why I'm sharing my journey! We all start somewhere, but as you put in the reps, it'll get easier. I'm still shy at times, but I'm way less shy now vs when I started. Really appreciate the message Vlamir. Best of luck on your journey! 😁
This has some special name? This is what I do in the gym or at the park all the time. Cardio and calisthenics or weight lifting. It makes you alot healthier than just doing one or the other.
I also started running on top of weight training since I hit my goal of 225 bench at 155 bw lo... I realized my lungs and cardio is lacking so pretty interesting to see this on my feed. Copped some Hokas for running :)
@@justBCheung for sure... your video inspired me and I actually ran a 5k today to see where I'm at (9:16/mi) gonna stay consistent with weightlifting and running
Now in summer i run 5k in the mornings, trying to low the time before increase the distance, from the 1st to the 4th session i dropped 1 min per kilometer, if you dont run before leg Day you can do both, im at 5,40 min/km
Love this! I can't tell you the amount of times after weight lifting I go to the tread or stair master and I see some of the guys shake their head in disagreement with MY CHOICES! I always incorporate cardio every workout
NO WAY THE SHERVIN SHARES COMMENTED ON MY VIDEO!!😂 Big fan of your stuff man! Also a big fan of Colt too! Just started watching Tejas after yall did the 90 day fitness transformation challenge If you see this, say hello to the Content Closet for me haha
If you’re natural, you’ll be mostly lanky all your life if you run at great lengths. Like if you do 8k-10k runs 3-4/week, furthermore if you do events like marathons and what not then forget about hypertrophic sustainability and growth stimulation. Nonetheless, with very little muscle on the frame a person will have great CRF!
I think it’s still possible to build muscle with that mileage, but of course, the higher the mileage the harder it is to build muscle. You should follow my friend Martin who runs marathons and lifts www.youtube.com/@Martindhoang
Hey we all start somewhere! Do what you can and try to do more each time. Progress is key. Maybe you can try walking on an incline first and increase the distance and speed over time. Anyhow just try to start no matter how little!
You need to warm your legs up first, theragun or percussive massage on your legs if you can and then light stretching. Start with a brisk walk to get your legs warm. Then do run walks, run for 30secs walk for a minute. Gradually increase the run time and reduce the walking time.
You don’t have to run. Conditioning you gain very quickly and lose very quickly. If you want to do marathons, just realize your progress with weightlifting and muscle gain will slow way down to possibly no progress. You’re trading strength adaptions for endurance adaptions. No free lunch.
Watched some of your stuff, i think you have potential as a content creator! Dont think chicago is where you wanna do it tho - got any plans to move to LA or NYC?
Appreciate the support! No plans to move at the moment, but who knows-if a good opportunity presents itself then maybe I’ll consider it. I’m not sure what I’d gain from moving to LA or NYC, so lmk if I’m missing something :)
You can, but it depends on your priorities. Running first may reduce your performance when lifting and vice versa. Do what works best for you for consistency. I wouldn’t worry too much about doing the optimal thing unless you are trying to compete. Hope this helps!
How do you balance leg workouts (squats etc) with running. I’m in the infantry and we run a lot and it’s hard to find a balance, feel my legs are always hurting
You are probably running a lot more than I am, so I can’t really tell you exactly from my experience. 😅 But I would think it just takes time to adapt and work up to where you want to be. When I started running, I did leg exercises that complemented running. Overtime when my legs adapted to running, I gradually reintroduced squats. Active recovery like swimming and foam rolling help A LOT. Getting enough protein is also really important. Hope this helps. I’m curious though, how much do you run per week? Also thank you for your service!
I wouldn’t say that I used to be a hybrid athlete because I never did any sort of running or cardio. I only lifted weights. Some people only run, and others only lift (like my past self). If you do both or some combination of different training disciplines that enables you to achieve a well-rounded fitness level (e.g. strength and cardio), then that would be considered “hybrid” training. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@@justBCheung I was wondering if there was gonna be a specific definition of the term, based on a certain proportion of time dedicated to each type of workout or some sort of measurement involved. But I see or guess there isn’t, so yeah, that’s why I say we are all easily “hybrid” so to speak 😉. But I get what you mean. 😎
Yea I get what you’re sayin. tbh the definition is very loose. The definition I adopted was from Nick Bare. I would say if you truly identify as someone who does this type of hybrid training for the health benefits, then I think that’s good enough to consider yourself a hybrid athlete. imo ofc 🙂
Well if you are on fat do not run instead of that walk 3-6 km/h, if you jog or run your body will use glucose as power supply if you walk it will use body fat
