Today I sit down with the incredible Sam Okunola, a hybrid athlete, world-champion bodybuilder, and Army veteran. We explore the contrasting dietary needs of runners and bodybuilders, delve into the intricacies of incorporating running into a strength training regimen, and uncover the secrets to optimizing performance and achieving the best of both worlds. Sam truly understands what it takes to balance running and lifting. This conversation will empower you to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be a hybrid athlete.
