Is this you?

You lift, and running wrecks it

Every time the miles go up, the bar goes backwards. When running spends more of the weekly budget here, lifting spends less, so neither one stalls.

You run, and never lift

The miles are there and the strength never was, which is usually where the niggles come from. The heavy work stays in, because it is what makes you a more economical runner.

You have five sessions, not ten

Most hybrid plans want ten to twelve sessions a week and quietly assume you have no job. This one is five, and you can finish it.

Wherever your strength and your cardio are today, the targets meet them

Effort-based targets scale the lifting to your current strength, and the running is prescribed by zone and duration rather than by a pace somebody else can hold. The same programme works whether you arrive from the gym or from the road.

What's inside

Everything you need, nothing you don't

  • Five sessions a week on Track 1: lifting and running written as one plan, not two plans sharing a body
  • Track 2 adds a sixth and seventh session, one easy aerobic run and one durability circuit, never a harder session. Everybody completes a block on Track 1 first, and you can switch at a block boundary
  • Every exercise sorted into one of three joint-cost classes, so how close you train to failure matches what the movement actually costs you
  • Blocks that hold the same lifts long enough for the load to climb, flipping from strength-led to endurance-led halfway through, with a recovery week every fourth week
  • Running prescribed by zone and duration so it scales to your current fitness, and any run can be swapped to the bike or the rower while you manage a niggle
  • Matched alternatives for every exercise, filtered by movement pattern and joint-cost class, so a swap never breaks the method
  • Quarterly testing weeks: a top triple at one rep in reserve on four lifts, with running dropped to easy so the whole budget goes to the bar, and a 5 km time trial on the same route once a year
  • Delivered daily in the training app with sets, reps, targets, video demos and coaching notes
The architecture

How the training rolls

The same block repeats: the week flips from strength-led to endurance-led halfway through, and the long run waves rather than climbing in a straight line.

Two repeating training blocks. Each block runs a strength-led half of three lifts and two runs, then flips to an endurance-led half of two lifts and three runs, with a recovery week closing each half. The long run dips through every strength-led half and peaks through every endurance-led half, and in the second block both the dip and the peak sit higher than they did in the first. A testing week follows, then the block repeats with heavier loads.

Cutting the long run in a strength-led half is what lets the barbell work be heavy enough to matter, and heavy lifting is what makes you a more economical runner. Every dip buys the next peak.

Training that finally sticks

Whether this is your first structured programme or your fifth season, Hybrid Athlete gives you coach-led structure with a clear plan to follow every single day.

“Stronger On The Road”

★★★★★

Moe built a programme around my touring schedule instead of forcing me to build my life around a programme. I'm stronger now than before I started touring.

“Built By Someone Who Competes”

★★★★★

The Hyrox programme is genuinely built by someone who competes, not someone guessing. Every block had a purpose.

“Coaching That Just Works”

★★★★★

Running a company leaves little time to think about training. Moe handles the programming, I just show up and follow the plan, it works!

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know about Hybrid Athlete

What is Cost-Based Training?

It is the method behind most of my programmes, built from the research on training strength and endurance together rather than lifted from any single study. Every lift and every run carries a joint cost, and you only have one recovery budget a week to spend. Lifting and running are periodised against each other, so when one spends more, the other spends less. That matters to you because you are not getting a fresh idea per plan: it is one method I keep refining, and when it gets better, every programme running on it gets better with it.

How many days a week is it?

Five sessions on Track 1, which is the default. Track 2 runs seven for people who can train most days. Everybody completes a block on Track 1 first.

Why does my long run get shorter sometimes?

Because it is meant to. The long run dips through every strength-led half of a block and peaks through every endurance-led half, while trending upward overall. Cutting it back is what lets the barbell work be heavy enough to matter, and heavy lifting is what makes you a more economical runner. That effect takes ten weeks or more to show, so every dip is buying the next peak.

Should I be on Track 1 or Track 2?

Start on Track 1 and complete a block. The two tracks split on the time you have, not on how good you are. Track 2 adds one easy aerobic session and one durability circuit for calves, feet, adductors and glutes, and you can switch at a block boundary.

Can I do this if I am training for a race?

Yes. It suits general hybrid training, Hyrox preparation and 70.3 work. There is no race-specific taper built in yet, so if you have a date in the diary and want the run-in shaped around it, apply for 1:1 coaching.

Does the programming ever run out?

No. It is continuous. One block rolls into the next with the loads you built, the joint-cost class rotates as it goes, and the app always has your next session ready.

What equipment do I need?

A standard gym: barbell, dumbbells, a rig and the usual machines, plus somewhere to run. A bike or rower is useful for swapping a run. Matched alternatives are shown when a piece of kit is missing.

Is this coaching or a programme?

This is the self-guided programme. If you want a plan built around you personally, with weekly check-ins and direct access to Moe, apply for 1:1 coaching instead.

What if I miss a day?

Nothing breaks. Pick up where you left off and the block simply shifts. Consistency over weeks matters far more than any single session.

How do I access my workouts?

Through the training app on your phone. Sign up, log in and today's session is on the home screen with sets, reps and video demos.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, in a couple of taps from the app, including during the 7-day free trial. No calls, no lock-in.

What happens after the 7-day free trial?

Your subscription starts and the programme carries straight on from wherever you are in the block. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.

Can I switch to 1:1 coaching later?

Yes, and programme members get priority when coaching spots open. Your training history comes with you.

Is my payment secure?

Payments are handled by our payment providers. Card details never touch our servers.

Still unsure? Apply for 1:1 coaching and we can talk through what fits.
