So making sure that you're balancing the books is sort of the first thing to consider.

Second thing to consider is arbitrarily taking 100% of a strength training program and 100% of an endurance training program and just putting them on top of each other.

So example, Wendler's 5-3-1 and one of Daniel's marathon programs.

Those were both very intelligently designed without accounting for the fatigue from either or.

So as soon as they're spliced together,

the programming principles that underpin both programs kind of become irrelevant because it's not in the context that it was designed for.

So programming then has to be adjusted for the individual based on strengths and weaknesses and accounting for that.

Third thing is kind of just...

going am pm lift endurance lift run something like that without any clear intention so it makes sense because all you're doing is you've got a clear daily routine if i'm going to lift in the morning i'm going to run in the evening or vice versa and that means that your systemic fatigue is going to be increasing like this at a rate that you wouldn't achieve were you just training for a

Because if you add in five more sessions a week, that's a huge percentage increase in terms of the overall demand and volume required.

So if you were building long runs per week, you'd typically not add any more than 10% per week.

If you want to get into hybrid training tomorrow from a strength background and you add in three runs Monday, Wednesday, Friday, five lifts Monday through Friday, that's suddenly whatever three more sessions above that is.

It's a big, big spike.

So what you're trying to do is make sustainable progress so that you can keep training and making progress before you hit a wall and go, oh, I can't do this.

This isn't working.

These two things conflict.

because that's what I think a lot of people did for a while, was start doing cardio.

Oh, cardio kills my gains.

It's not possible.

And that cycle was repeated for a long time.
