In this Q&A, I’m answering your real questions about hybrid training, recovery, strength training, cardio, and performance. As a PhD in exercise physiology and hybrid athlete myself, I break down what actually matters—and what doesn’t—so you can train smarter, recover better, and avoid common mistakes.

We cover topics like:

• What to do when returning to training after time off

• Should interval recovery be walking or jogging?

• How to structure your weekly running distances

• Are recovery trackers like WHOOP actually useful?

• Vibration plates for bone density—fact or fiction

• Should beginners start with lifting or running first?

• How to combine cycling with running and lifting

• How to structure hybrid training effectively

Hybrid training doesn’t have to be complicated—but it does require understanding how to manage recovery, intensity, and consistency.

The goal isn’t perfect training. It’s sustainable training that helps you improve long-term.

If you have questions you want answered in a future video, drop them in the comments.
