I was in bodybuilding but wanted to lose some fat. Started running and fell in love with it. Just bought new running shoes as I`m going hybrid, and you`re my biggest inspiration! Thanks Nick, best wishes from Brazil!

I have been hybrid training for 18 months and it has been great. Running/biking a few times a week, CrossFit 2-3X per week, BJJ 3X per week, and time in nature. My body feels better and I'm still hitting PRs.

Nick, Awesome video. Love how you are spreading the word on hybrid athletes. Growing up a college soccer player/ professional. My entire life I have always been a hybrid athlete. Something no one ever understood. Getting up before anyone is awake and getting a run in and then hitting some type of workout later in the day. I’ve always been a believer in full body workouts. Never the type to just hit one body part. It’s always helped with my athletic performances as well as work on the ranch and job, and my everyday health. Continue the good fight! This type of working out is what people truly need for overall health. God bless you and your family. ✊🏽 HYBRID

Nick, I've been lifting for years and running marathons since 2012. I discovered your channel a while back and I love it! Running & lifting >> Be Hybrid!!

Stumbling upon your channel a few days after deciding to get back on the fitness bandwagon has been a godsend. A few years ago I was lifting and jogging despite conventional wisdom, loved both and was in the best shape of my life, unfortunately life (and knee pain) happened. While considering a return to fitness I thought I would have to pick only one activity; I'm excited at the prospect of learning how to do both safely and for the long term.

Like many others have said, this comes at such great timing. Was training for a marathon beginning of the year and have been getting into weight lifting recently. Your physique is inspiring and motivating! That’s what I’d like to achieve, and I believe it’s doable! I’ve also been reading Dr. Peter Attia’s book, which just reconfirms this drive to become strong and build endurance. Looking forward to the rest of the series. You’ve won a new subscriber.

Thank you Nick and your team for promoting the hybrid athlete training approach. The insight and educational content is very inspiring and helpful. I recently pivoted from primarily strength training to a hybrid program. Incorporating swimming, biking, and running and have made significant progress in all areas over the past three months…. Registering for age group 50-54 Texas Ironman April 2024. 💪

Love this brotha. I've been lifting for years but the end of last year wanted to up my game and started going hybrid. Running several times a week, my weekly long runs are now between 10-13 miles and still lifting 3-4 times a week on top of playing basketball for fun. It can be a lot to manage but I've never felt better and it's all worth it. Looking forward to more hybrid content!

The man has his fitness together. I gotta give him respect he has put in the work.

I have achieved so much more since I combined running and strength training daily, especially for the military and police. I feel capable and do well on a wide variety of physical tests that were much more difficult when I specialized in strength and didnt run regularly. Thanks for both your inspiration and shared knowledge, Nick and for your service to our country.

Excited for this series! Have always lifted weights consistently and did some cardio but really trying to dial in the details and optimize. Sometimes I worry about having a good leg day lifting session and then running on sore legs the days after and gonna get injured bc it then puts even more stress on my legs/joints etc before they can recover

This content comes at the right time!! I’m getting into Hybrid training and really need to understand how to all things about it. Thank you for creating these series🙏

Im excited for this series! I have been doing a lot of running and strength training and am having a hard time with nutrition and recovery, thanks for doing this!!

Thanks Nick! Looking forward to this series!

Okay, I am happy that I found this channel and especially this "How to Hybrid" thing. Right on time. I want to combine weight training + kickboxing (which includes running as well). Balance is key!

Thank you for taking the time to do these videos and help us. I have learned a lot from you. Looking forwards to these next videos and learning more from you. 🤙🏽😎🏁

i love this series of content nick, i fell in love with hybrid training; this helps me out keeping my motivation in the highest level

thanks for bringing this back to the forefront.., I don't know when ppl stopped just training for everything, but I never quit. when I started training year ago.., the percentage was small, for those of us that lifted, and ran.., but we were out there.., good stuff bringing back to ppl..

I'm a ex naval diver who went down the path of bodybuilding which I love. But I feel I have now lost my functional fitness and strength. This video came at the perfect time. Planning to also go hybrid

That serie is gonna be dope!! Im 39 always been in the bodybuilding lifestyle, getting older and having a harder keeping the weight, i switch my training incorporing a lot of running, 5-10-20k and bike. Its been a Little more than a year now and i love it! But still got a lot of thing to figure out about this style of training, cant wait for those next episodes!!😎💪💪

Excellent! Looking forward to the rest of the series! Thank you!

I love being a hybrid athlete. Before I knew what a hybrid athlete was defined as my mindset was already there. Bring a collegiate athlete and train like I'm still playing I love it. I'm doing my first half ironman in December. Adding the training for this event has me focused. I was never a long distance runner or biker or swimmer so I'm really dialed in. I love my weight training so I can't give that up. Your videos are legit bro. Appreciate you.....💪🏿💯

Couldn't have come at a better time. I'm still active duty but I am not doing well in my physical health and I wanna improve to better lead my Soldiers and prove to them that their health is important. Not just the "a good PT score means a good leader". So this is perfect timing for me.

Hi Nick, I really enjoy your videos and your story. Your story has always connected with me because I have struggled with eating issues in the past, and as a current college cross country and track runner, I know how important it is to fuel my body. I enjoyed this video especially because I am trying to incorporate more lifting into my running routine. I am in the midst of summer training right now, and am hoping to make my body stronger. I also may be running a marathon in January, and have enjoyed watching your videos about your marathon. I have ran a half marathon and my PR is a 1:58, My marathon goal is a 3:30. Thank you for sharing your stories, vlogs, training, and nutrition advice because it deeply connects with me.

Nice! I’ve gone thru seasons with running and lifting, but lately I’ve been doing both! Excited for the series, thank you!

Awesome video man. Looking forward to the rest of them.

This series is going to crush. Trained for marathons & been consistent with strength training for 3+ years. Yet to find a consistency between the two and would love to see full training & diet split for beginners all the way to advanced. Gassed.

Brilliant timing. Im training for a Half Marathon whilst strength training. I hope you cover how to best schedule these workouts. How many times a week etc.

Began sprint triathlon training a week ago for an event in Oct. Trying to figure out how to properly incorporate my strength training. Looking forward to the next vids.

Let's goooo!!! Perfect time to hit this type of content, I ran for the last 2 year, almost without much muscle work or workouts and now I want to gain some muscle and became even better at trail running! So excited can't wait! 💪🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Started three years ago combining triathlon and bodybuilding. Thank you Nick for your videos. Go one more.

This video came at the right time for me. I’ve just started hybrid training as I signed up for a half marathon and started lifting to help prevent injury. But I’ve been feeling so exhausted especially when I get to the end of the week and I think because idk how to fuel myself. Idk how many calories to eat. Idk how much I expend and I also don’t want to get fat. So if someone could give me any advice I would be so grateful 😅 thanks xx

Thank your for the amazing content. Really looking forward to learn more valuable insights from you in the following videos as well.

This content just keeps getting better and better. Big thumbs up to you and the team behind, doing the editing 👍

Really high production quality and great information!

I'm loving this new series. As someone who's starting to incorporate running into my fitness regimen to train for a 10K in October, it's important for me to keep focusing on my gym gains as well.

Thank you! I follow you from Argentina. Can’t wait to ser the next video!

Love your videos, i started ro train like an hybrid athlete 3 months ago because of your videos. You are a reference for me. Best regards from Spain!! I also love your videos about how do you eat in a day

I’ve always wondered this because I am starting to concentrate on physique but also love running and cycling. Looking forward to this.

Love It Nick, Great Job!!!!!

Love it. Excited to see the rest

Love it, can't wait for more episodes.

I’m on the start of week 3 of the hybrid athlete program. I’ve been loving it

I would love to see a "Couch to Hybrid Athlete" type program from you. I'm just about to get started back on my fitness journey after many years on the couch and am really vibing with the Hybrid idea. However, doing running and weights training at the same time from doing nothing seems very intimidating haha

This video is incredibly well done and gets the message right across. Go one more.

so stoked for this series. need a new goal and challenge... triathlon seems like it could be the thing for me. I already cycle and strength train, now to start swimming and running. Lets go! G1M

LETS GO! would love more information on hybrid training

Thanks Nick this resonates with me more than just running or doing weights. I always thought you had to one or the other.

This is what i want for Such a long time Deeper and honest topics

Great video. I'm looking forward to the next!

Oddly enough, I did my first session yesterday of hybrid 3.0! Perfect time for this series to come out!

This series is going to be so great. Thank you for this 🫡🫡

I’ve been on a fitness journey of my own, focusing on lots running and some lifting, not for any event, just to be a better version of myself. 5 months ago I was 246 lbs @ 5’10”. Fat, slow, out of shape. I’ve been eating clean single ingredient foods and getting it in EVERYDAY!!! I’m down to 188 lbs and 17/18 % BF!!! I’m just getting started son!!! Nick Bare is an inspiration to men everywhere!!! Go Get It Boys!!!

Hybrid training is the best, specially for the army. Im waiting for your video talking about nutrition, I think is the most important one 👍 Keep up the work, Nick!

Training for a 70.3 right now. The auto regulation aspect of training is HUGE. I stick to a weekly plan, rather than a strict daily plan.

Great video, info and leadership! Thanks for leading by example!

Great information! I’m 44 and have been hybrid training for over 20 years. I feel it is truly a prescription for anti aging when done correctly. It’s fun to be both strong physically and be able to easily do cardiovascular activities…I’m able to enjoy exercise with my teenagers and keep up with them. Currently training for my first ultramarathon in several years and feeling great while still making progress in the gym.

Thanks for sharing this fantastic workout! My kind of athlete 🙌 very impressive doing that many things

So ready for the next episode !!! Go one more ;)

Thanks for the amazing content Nick. I recently started working out again and I included runnning with my strength training because I love running. But I'm still very clueless about training splits and how to go about this lifestyle. I am doing push, pull, running, shoulder and legs (I've weak shoulders) - with 2 days rest. I would love to get some suggestions about how to go about this lifestyle and some actionable tips. I'm grateful for the work you're doing and I'm glad to get your content suggested by YT. Thanks again!

Yes!!!! So excited for this

Was waiting for this series since long.....

you just got another subscriber. Keep making great content.

Great topic! Thank you!

Perfect timing as I got into this recently over the last month and I still have a lot of questions

excited for the series. make vlog documenting your hole day

Been hybrid training for 2 months. The progress is nuts. My current routine that's been working for me: Wake up 6/7am Run every day, roughly 25 miles a week now but started at 7 (a minimum of 1 mile a day) 6 gym days a week Push, Pull, Abs, Legs overlapping each week with a floating rest day. ~45m-1hr each workout 300-500 calories intra workout snacks (during both run and gym) 3250 calories a day from 3 meals and a shake. Roughly 40% carbs, 30% fats, 30% protein Sounds like a lot, but it isn't. Just have to learn to love it. Consistency is the goal.minutes

Interesting stuff thanks. Watched your video about 2.45 marathon it’s brilliant your time before 2.48. But what amazes me and this is not a horrible comment, your a big strong dude. I’m amazed and in such respect the speed you can shift while running really cool. Nice one go steady Sam.

You’re my hero dude

Stepping back into this life now. Since the start of Covid I’ve went from 5’9 160lb to 230lbs. I’ve been lifting but not eating well and not running and I feel so much worse than I ever have. Thank you for the motivation!

WHO'S GONNA CARRY THE BOATS!?

Hi Nick, loving the videos the BPN app and the Playbook workouts. Are there any plans to have a program or video to guide how to train as a hybrid athlete for an Ironman/Triathlon? I am struggling to construct one

I started running long distance 3-4 times a week before basic training. Ran a 14:07 2 mile my last ACFT, and now I’m in AIT back into long distance and lifting, making sure that I can increase my speed, cardiovascular endurance, increase my distance past 6-7 miles, increasing strength via learning how to move weight swiftly, safely, and in larger amounts(snatches, deadlifts, overhead presses, kettlebell runs, calisthenics)

Hey Nick, new sub here just found your videos and this is exactly what I’m looking for. I used to be a bodybuilder in my early 20s now 15 yrs later I’m overweight and haven’t really worked out in yrs. I’m no longer looking to be a bodybuilder but do want to be in the shape you are. Could you maybe do a video on how a newb on the heavier side could get started? I’m binging on your vids right now 😅

Big ups! From South Africa

Bro, this is perfect. I'm in a very similar place in life as you, minus the apparent financial stability... I am also married with a daughter that is about to turn one here in a few weeks, and I am just now getting into hybrid fitness. Super excited for this series! Are there any tips that you have for keeping my nutrition in the right place while on a budget?

Awesome video Nick! I have a question to ask to include in a future episode. What are the benefits of evening strength training?

I love how good Nick is at teaching us young men such a CRUCIAL LESSON: That duality is good. This guy shatters our priori beliefs that you can only be on one end of a continuum. He shows us constantly that it can be done. Keep moving, brothers.

I’ve been lifting weights pretty aggressively for nearly four years. No cardio during any of that until about 2-3 months ago. When I started adding running onto it (about 20 miles/week), I had hit a bit of a plateau with putting on muscle mass. Since I started running though, I’ve actually added on a decent amount of lean mass, and also dropped some additional body fat. My strength in the gym also shot past the plateau, even in upper body. I didn’t expect those changes and don’t know what to attribute them to other than incorporating running.

Perfect timing! Just signed up for the Spartan beast.

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and Knowledge. , Respect for Saudi Arabia 🥂

Just fitted my GO ONE MORE decal to my car. 💪🏼

Love the old school video style

Thank you for the video.

I'm just gonna be honest here - I began my hybrid routine one year ago because I had really bad self-esteem about my self image. Flash forward to now and life has totally changed for me, I would highly recommend it. The only thing I don't like about it is how I'm not as efficient as Nick, and I actually do feel that I spend more time overall. Regardless, I know that this time spent will buy me a crap ton of extra life time later on by bolstering muscle mass and cardio strength. Oh yeah and leg days become extremely important. Bodyweight calisthenics are also a great alternative for weights (pull), and aside from aesthetics I find push exercises to be mainly accessory for me.

gotta love the Mic Quality in this video.

I wanna be able to keep up with elk cardio wise, and be strong to pack quarters in the wilderness. This is perfect 🤙🏽

Can't wait!

You made a video year or so ago about your fav running gear. I think updating that would be good as well as incorporating a video about your warm up

Need a “Couch to Hybrid Athlete” program for those of us w/ zero lifting and zero running experience. When you talk about training 6 days a week, it’s impossible to fathom. I’m 52 and have been an avid surfer most of my life. It took me a solid year of walking on the beach before I could even finish 1/2 mile run w/o joints hurting and out of breath. Into CrossFit now for 2 months and in constant pain from the lifts. Scaling workouts down to your own personal age and level is critical to success. Thanks.

Thank you for this

Thanks for the vid man. I’m in the Marine Corps, and inherently do hybrid training. I want to maximize it. Can you break down a split for running/lifting weights as well as a proper nutrition? Thanks again

I was already regretted buying a new running shoe thinking that I was gonna lose my muscles, but seeing this video my hope got back! Let's get hybrid!

Freakin love this! YES!

Great video!

Estamos por aqui! Vamoo! Brazil! 🌍🟡🟢

Series will be great

Question for the next video. I tried hybrid training and it went ok for a while but I would keep showing up and having bad runs or bikes because I was sore from strength training. How do you combat this issue?

This is the best training program I've ever tried. It is amazing for almost any sport and it does not get boring like every other program I've tried. I would like to come in contact with you for some advice. Is it possible?

Most interested in structure. How do you run day after deadlifts say when your posterior chain has been taxed? What dosages and splits are you doing of weights/ running etc
