A common misconception I always hear is that in order to be a hybrid athlete, you need to do running and lifting. In reality, it’s combining endurance with strength training. While I myself love to run it isn’t for everyone. Some love to bike, others love to swim, etc. Thanks for bringing this up.

Great to hear you love running. Running is super hard getting the cadence and breathing right. It feels like Everest sometimes, maybe I over think it?? Even though I don't like it, I wouldn't exclude it from training, just because its like, grab some shoes and go convienient.

Totally agree we both love running and it’s always super convenient! If you’re having trouble with your breathing try these two things out that helped both our big time! 1- Track heart rate and keep 80-90% of your runs below max aerobic heart rate (Max aerobic heart rate: 180-age) 2- Try to run at a pace that you can breathe through your nose and avoid mouth breathing as long as you can. You may have to slow your pace down but this will really help you build your aerobic endurance and make a huge difference!

​@@jordanschaefferfitness Many thanks! I will certainly try those tips. Yes, I run too fast, I need to allocate more time for my runs and chill out a bit.
