[@ferguscrawley95]

Hello everyone! Don’t forget to like the video, and comment down below 👇🏼 Any questions you have on the above please ask away, but make sure to check out the next three parts coming out each Thursday at 7pm (UK time) for the next few weeks 👊🏼

[@danielpowers2860]

Love it - excited to learn more! (also Jonny looks like a proud dad when Fergus is walking through his training plan in the beginning)

[@ferguscrawley95]

Haha it’s his programming largely after all!

[@ftravis6840]

The series we have all been waiting for - no other resources out there talking on this in such detail!

[@ferguscrawley95]

It’s basically an FAQ list 😂 thank you man!

[@neonobrien4159]

Mate, Absolutely brilliant content. This is exactly what I wanted to see,and I am sure many others do also! Really like the fact you guys are honest an open with what you do. No bullshit 'get quick fit if you buy my programme' type stuff. Awesome job, looking forward too future episodes. Thank you 💪

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks mate much appreciated! Next one landing this Thursday 🤙🏼

[@chrishamilton9206]

Another awesome video. Cheers guys 👍 I can vouch for the work of these dudes. They somehow got me through a 103 mile run in under 24 hours (having never completed a marathon before) while also increasing my strength 🤷🏻‍♂️👍

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks Chris appreciate it!

[@mrgent3046]

Mateeee. No joke I found your channel last night. Today I’ve tried to conjure up a plan with no luck. That universe has spoke!

[@ferguscrawley95]

The stars align! Thanks for tuning in 🤙🏼

[@Nobbyclarke]

Great Content Gents, it is always refreshing to see "Stress" as a key measure in any plan. i will be interested to see how this is measured in future videos. I heard MRV. I am guessing HRV is another indicator? Testing and adjusting as the week progresses based on the load/stress is an intelligent approach. Also, building gradual adaptation over time is also key like the 10% rule. I only heard the term Hybrid a while back and am fascinated. I understand endurance subject matter. I also know strength & conditioning but have always wondered how it is tied together without something snapping emotionally or physically. Keep it coming! Cheers.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Not one we over index on too much tbh... Some athletes like to use it to inform their own perceptions a little more. We firmly believe that a self-aware athlete, without ego, is the one that will be most realistic and honest with their training outputs. Thanks again for watching! Make sure to check out the rest of the series on this as we cover the salient points!

[@ashleycorgat2875]

This is a brilliant video! 👏 so well explained and made it easy to understand. New subscriber! Keep up the great work

[@BenWright-z4y]

i understand doing intensity then volume but what about volume then intensity

[@afshirinzadeh5682]

52 year old ex rugger here too. I want to be a hybrid and learning to be as strong, endurance and mobile as possible. It’s so hard to try to build a program.

[@joshvessey2201]

Good stuff! Super intuitive methodologies here. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Thanks!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Cheers Josh, appreciate it!

[@jimgalvin2191]

Love this - such great content, guys. Thank you.

[@jonfreelove]

Great episode mate quality breakdown of the training plan and the reasons why

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@kiswan28]

Excellent video gents, superb content. 2021 was a year of transition for me into the hybrid space from strength/bodybuilding. Did my first Olympic distance Tri in Chicago this past August, loved it. Got a Iron 70.3 in Michigan end of June 2022 and a full Iron in Florida November 2022. Was inspired by Kris Gethin Man of Iron video series. This structure could easily take me to the next level from just finishing. Spent most of my prep in zone 2 really base aerobic work given it was non existent! Ex pat living in the states btw 🇬🇧.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks man! Great to hear! But remember this structure was made for me, and doesn't necessarily have universal application - so make sure to approach with analysis and caution if you're going to mimic it directly! Thanks again for watching, make sure to check out the next three videos as well.

[@kiswan28]

@@ferguscrawley95 thanks for the reply man, much appreciated. Looking forward to the other videos in the series. Yes, completely agree on the structure being finely tuned to yourself over time. I’m 100% at the beginning of the hybrid space and quite simply couldn’t handle the weekly intensity not to mention your amazing lead in with your power lifting at a very high level. My current goal at Ironman would be somewhere between 14-15 hours (based on current ability), I might purchase the template you have online but could still benefit from aerobic base building through next years races so may be a future addition 👍.

[@otp780]

This is gold, thanks yall!

[@MaxRothFitness]

Thinking about the performance coaching for sure... love a mix of bodybuilding and endurance sports. Have a full Ironman booked in 2021

[@ferguscrawley95]

You know where to find us 👀

[@mandoalvarez681]

Appreciate the information! One piece of constructive criticism is, possibly investing on some mics?

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you! On the list, budget isn’t aligned to lapel mics just yet as big few months of travel costs, next month’s purchase!

[@davesslowgt]

Very interesting concept. Thank you both for sharing.

Awesome to hear mate!

Properly fascinating! Thanks guys

Cheers mate!

[@matemarijan3795]

How do I do all of this when I'm working as a doctor, learning for exams and trying to maintain social life :'(

[@TraposaurusFlex]

Easy mate, don't have a social life! Problem solved!

[@windows95_de]

Become a youtuber

[@Stuey001]

This is great content, and timely. I am trying to figure out balance between cycling and weight training. Cheers

[@ferguscrawley95]

Awesome to hear man!

[@ilandevre1688]

Same here! I noticed that your example week kind of alternates between lower and upper body days, not only for the strength days. How to go about this when the endurance goals are lower body focused only (primarily cycling with a bit of running in the mix)?

[@67krg]

Thanks for more epic content. Recovering from 80km event this weekend & keen to crack into more Hybrid/Strength stuff soon. 5th December??? Patagonman?? Hope travel opens up for you dude

[@ferguscrawley95]

Good man! Patagonman..? Never heard of it...

[@benrussell9697]

Great content and look forward to the next video as someone that is looking to transition from pure endurance training to hybrid training for Hyrox. I'm terms of building a week by week cycle do you do the full week then plan the next or are you adapting weeks in advance based on the performance of one workout or life event (fatigue, losing a tooth etc)

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks Ben! Appreciate it! Bit of both really my man, we set out a logical roadmap, and then adjust as we go, which is generally week by week!

[@benrussell9697]

@@ferguscrawley95 literally just sat down to watch ep.2 keep em coming. 👍

[@tomwarner168]

What cardio modality would you place in on day 2 if you were just doing a running program? Sneak in some extra z2 work?

[@NicholasTurnbull96]

Haven't watched yet but gonna leave a like anyways #fergusismyhero

[@ferguscrawley95]

Haha thank you mate! Much appreciated!

[@joebob48111]

I’m 67 years old my powerlifting days are over but I would like to merge bodybuilding with endurance is that possible do you have anything like that thank you

[@jeanclaudevandarn96]

Love the content Fergus, mic quality could’ve been a little better I’m listening in my car & hear alot of echo.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks mate! Not made of money sadly, lapel mics > shotgun mic is obvious here but can’t need to keep costs down to some degree haha!

[@lachlancook2711]

What would your split be if you could only train once a day

[@ferguscrawley95]

Would be back to the drawing board and assess over time... But logical striating point would be: Monday: Intervals Tuesday: Full Body Wednesday: Tempo Run/Bike Intervals (alternating each week) Thursday: Swim Friday: Full Body: Saturday: Brick Sunday: Swim

[@lachlancook2711]

@@ferguscrawley95 thank you so much I was changing up my training a bit next week and I'll have to do some adjustments with this information

[@sambsialia]

Love to hear a coach named “pain”. Is that foreshadowing? I work swing shift. 12 hour days with 45 min drive. 3-4 days a week. Right now I cant train those days. Also, my feet hurt those days. What do you think? Options? Priorities?

[@ferguscrawley95]

It is indeed! Wouldn’t be able to comment without more context I’m afraid my man, would be somewhat a stab in the dark otherwise!

[@darrenkibble7627]

Hello Fergus. Just asking about the watch you are wearing.is it a garmin fenix 6..The question is my son bought one of them watches and since wearing it he has had wrist pain and up the arm.i was wondering if you have had the same problem.if so could you give me some feedback to correct the problem.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Hey man, it's the Fenix 5X - and not something I have had an issue with, so unable to comment I'm afraid!

[@stevenhewes1990]

I'm wondering how hybrid AF I could be if I have a liberal view of the usage of PEDs?

[@ferguscrawley95]

Haha so am I now you've said that! Any specific goals? Not an area of expertise for me so all I would say (v politely as it's entirely your decision of course) is to be careful!

[@SuperNagz]

This gets a like and a comment for the algorithm even before I watch it.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Respecc.

Haha we’re not far off at this point either 🤷‍♂️

[@williamfieldsjr4144]

Military obviously but spec ops? Your tatts give your away

[@no_excuses]

Brilliant vBlog, it provides a great insight into how you manage your strength and cardio training. Plus I like how you adjust the weeks plan depending on what external events you experience as part of normal life. I particular like how you focus the weekly training through following an incremental process towards increasing your longterm goals . Lastly I'd to know how you manage your motivation and thinking during this type of training.🏊🏋🚴 Is Jonny your Mr motivator?🤼🕺

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks Keri, all my motivation comes from the desire to be better, and not miss out on the opportunities that come from constantly pushing forwards - as I have learned and experienced first hand how much can come from it!
