Key Features of the Hybrid Athlete Level 1 Phase 2 Program
- 6-Week Training Block:Â This is the second phase of the Level 1 Hybrid Athlete training, building upon the foundation established in Phase 1. It’s designed for a focused 6-week period to further enhance strength and fitness.
- Days per Week:Â Offers flexibility with both 3-day and 4-day training schedules.
- Workout Structure:Â Each week includes:
- 1 x Strength Training Session (focus on increasing intensity with lower reps)
- 1 x Threshold Run (longer and more challenging intervals)
- 1 x Fitness Racing Workout (more complex and demanding circuits)
- Optional Long Run (for those following the 4-day week option)
- Training Focus:Â Continues to combine strength training, endurance running, and functional fitness, but with a greater emphasis on increasing intensity.
- Periodization:Â Still utilizes concurrent periodisation, like in phase 1, to balance strength and fitness gains, but with adjustments to the training variables to promote continued progress.
- Progressive Overload:Â Emphasizes progressive overload by increasing weight, reps, sets, or intensity over time to challenge the body and stimulate adaptation.
- Main strength lifts: Barbell back squat and flat barbell bench press
- Additional Resources:Â Includes an FAQ e-book for further guidance and support (same FAQ book that you would have received with phase 1)
This program is designed for individuals who have completed the Hybrid Athlete Level 1 Phase 1 programme or have a base of fitness with some experience in both strength training and running. It’s suitable for those who are committed to progressing their athletic performance and are looking for a challenging and comprehensive 3-4 day a week training plan.
