On today's episode I'm joined by Dr. Alyssa Olenick to give you some of the information you need to combine weight training and running, and pursue your goals as a hybrid athlete!

Some topics we discussed:

• Mistakes lifters make when adding running to their training for the first time
• Will running kill your gains?
• Adjusting volume and intensity when starting a hybrid program
• The cortisol boogie man and low energy availability
• Improving your aerobic capacity
• How Alyssa does all that she does and lessons she's learned along the way
