What I learnt from marathon training ⬇️ 1. Running Specific Strength. So important to help prevent injury from the increasing load on your joints and also to make you a stronger runner. 2. Following a running program. So so important, especially when training for a marathon and having a certain time goal in mind. This will help gradually increase your load overtime. 3. Zone 2 Training. Making sure all of your long/easy runs are done with a low heart rate will make your body more efficient and increase mitochondrial function (the power house of the cell). Every single one of my long runs were a minute slower than my race day pace. 4. Fuelling your runs. This includes during and outside of your runs. Learning to 'eat to run', rather than 'run to eat'. 5. Discipline. Probably one of the most important points and something I had to practice a lot. Yes someone can write you a program, but you have to show up every weekend and run for 3 + hours, regardless of conditions. 6. Running for time over distance. We used this for my long run to slow down but also just get used to the time on the legs. 7. Quality running shoes. Good shoes make the world of difference. You should have a shoe rotation for different styles of runs. 8. Recovery. So so important to prevent injury and keep you performing at your 100%. #Running #hybrid #hybridathlete

2025 🤝 Hybrid Training Throughout this year, I have truley fallen in love with this training style.

There is no better feeling than accomplishing something you didn’t think you could. That is why, I have teamed up with other @MOVE WITH US coaches to bring you the Move challenge. 4 training styles, 6 weeks. My style is of course hybrid and is a brand new 6 weeks of programming.

Toes to bar progressions 🤝 Strict toes to bar is one of those movements that takes a lot of time and strength to master. Personally, it took me at least 6 months of strengthening my core and getting good at the basic movements before levelling up. If your goal is to get your strict toes to bar, start incorporating these movements into your sessions. Make sure your reps are slow and controlled and you are actively engaging through your core. When trying to get your hanging core movements, don’t forget to engage your lats to avoid excessive swinging. I found my toes to bar also got easier when my lats become stronger. My 6 week Hybrid programs are available in the @MOVE WITH US and will be the perfect way to start your 2025 👀 - - #hybrid #hybridtraining #toestobar #form #formvideo #gym #abs
