Hybrid Athlete Training in Paço de Arcos, Portugal

Hybrid Athlete Training, done properly — from anywhere in Paço de Arcos

The hybrid athlete wants two things the internet insists cannot coexist: a heavy deadlift and a fast 10K. The research is more optimistic than the forums — concurrent-training studies, including the meta-analysis by Wilson and colleagues in 2012, show strength and endurance can be developed together when the programming manages how they interact. That management is the whole craft. Maddy's hybrid programming separates hard lifting and hard running by hours or days, keeps most endurance volume genuinely easy, and rotates emphasis block by block — a strength-leaning phase, then an endurance-leaning one — so both qualities climb over the year instead of fighting to a draw every week. Recovery is programmed like a third sport: sleep, food, and deliberate easy days carry double weight when you train double disciplines. Check-ins read lifting logs and run data side by side, and the plan rebalances whenever one side starts taxing the other.

The method — how Maddy coaches this

• Hard lifting and hard running separated by hours or days — interference managed by the calendar.
• Most endurance volume kept genuinely easy, so the hard sessions on both sides stay hard.
• Block-by-block emphasis rotation: strength-leaning phases and endurance-leaning phases across the year.
• Recovery programmed as the third discipline — easy days and deloads are written in, not hoped for.
• Lifting log and run data reviewed together at check-ins, and the balance corrected from evidence.

Who this is for:

• Lifters who signed up for a 10K or half marathon and refuse to surrender their strength.
• Runners who finally want real strength work without their paces collapsing.
