@@mrbartuss1kind of, I have a background in long-distance running back when I ran XC competitively in high school so my mile isn’t too far off from 5 minutes, it’s just my deadlift that needs work, I’m at 405 rn and I don’t know how to train it more often without having it bleed into my recovery from running
Working for a firm in the same ‘GS’ industry. Typically leave house at 7am and return at 8pm. Did the Omnia strength and half marathon program last year and I would say I completed 75% - 80% of sessions. I still totally benefitted from the program but just had to be easy on myself when I had to skip a session here and there. Being easy on yourself whilst still maintaining discipline is easier said than done though.
Great video! Let me share one tip that works for me (that may not work for others). I schedule the things I have to do on my own for the mornings (run, ride, gym, etc), and leave the evenings to things I do in a group (class, group rides, group runs, etc). Having the "I have to let them know if I can't go" responsibility helps me a lot.
Another great video Fergus, thanks. Planning is definitely key. My university lecturer used to say remember the 6 p’s Perfect Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance.
Another really good take, due to the gym opening times I have to do my runs in the AM and train in the PM, try to limit doing lower body strength on those running days and have a set day for that. Usually an upper body session in the evenings after running in the AM, running has been the focus but just finished my first ultra and trying to recover up before hitting running again while going for some more strength based goals.
Can't offer a reliable track timetable, but have used these principles along with suggestions from other vids of yours to good use - PR'd all 3 big lifts this year and completed 5 marathons in 5 days just yesterday! Thanks and now looking at bigger challenges, because the only way to know what's possible is to give it a good old try!!!💪
Whenever I lift weights before running I’m almost always brutalised by doms in the legs, glutes and lower back when I go for my run. Whereas when I run first my body generally feels like it’s been under less stress than if I was lifting, although this only really applies if I’ve been lifting for legs or OHP.
On Monday I Gym then swim on wednesday and friday I swim then Gym and just swim on tuesdays and thursdays, occasionally just lift on Saturday or rock climb
Asking myself if double sessions in favor of 1-2 more rest days is better than several sessions in a week just once a day with only 0-1 rest day in terms of recovery and prevent from overtraining?
Great insights. I've been looking into doing a double day for run + gym once per week. If only doing 1 double day per week do you think it's optimal for recovery purposes to do gym on the day you have a hard effort run? (If for example I am running 6 days per week + 1 complete rest day).
Wish I had seen this two weeks ago. Went for a long run then heavy deadlifts after, and then had horrendous sciatica for two weeks!!😂 probably wasn’t the best idea

Speak for yourself. He does it to take on his own health and fitness goals, and so he can (and continue to) interact with his kids without physicality/age limiting him. You can choose the above, or you can choose to be cynical… I know which I’d rather 🤷♂️
Wow this is coming at a perfect time since Im currently trying to figure out how train for a 500lb deadlift while acquiring a 5-minute mile. Thanks!
Legend. All the best with your training 🤝
Have you figured it out?

Spot on mate great to hear, consistent pattern is the 🔑 and acknowledging when it can be wise to take the foot off the throttle.
Definitely an odd question, but when it comes to double training days and showers, what’s your best advice e.g. shampoo both times, etc
Great video!

Great insight mate thank you!
YOOOO THAT MINI RAMP IS SICKKKKKK
Can confirm.
ATM I run fasted in the morning but only 5-7k have 2-3 hours rest and go to the gym . So far I haven’t seen dip in gym performance

Class video Fergus. Will book at slot to come and use that ramp when I’m next back home 🤩

Great to hear! Well done 🤝
Came here for the advice, staying for the mini ramp in the gym...... I need mini ramp in my garage gym
Creat video Fergus. I will sometimes do the gym and a run in one day as long as it’s a easy run
Thanks for watching! All the best with your training 🤝
My double sessions allways happen in the morning due to work.
Maybe not allways beneficial but needs must. But organisation the night before is key.
🤝 exactly that, needs must sometimes!

I have 8 kids. You can do it. All about priorities. The family that works out together stays healthy together.
6:00 looks like that Meme with the skinny lad in the red jacket screaming at the camera :D
😂
In your Omnia programing you recommend back to back sessions being the preferred method, rather than an AM/PM split. Whats the reasoning behind that?

Nice work 🤝

ayo why'd you tease the stack with the pin like that

Requires more context for me to comment on optimality I’m afraid.

Hahaha - well, live and learn. All the best with recovery 🫡

1. Quit your job.
I wonder why the father of four is doing double days… I guess it keeps him out of the house and away from the kids.
I hope you never get kids
