Mark Bottenhorn is an UltraEndurance Athlete, Hyrox Competitor, Running Coach, Owner of Good Karma Run Crew, Hybrid Athlete, and Host of the Finding Strong Podcast.

I have been working with Mark as my running coach since I began my journey as a hybrid athlete a year ago, and he has coached me through both of my marathons and ultramarathon.

In this hybrid athlete masterclass, Mark and I go back to basics on everything you need to know to run faster, get stronger, and become the best athlete you can be while also living your best life.

Key Points:

Health and performance benefits of doing strength training and endurance work How long you should train for a marathon Building strength training into a 12-week training block How many days you should strength train per week as a runner Upper and lower-body splits vs. full-body workouts Building your workouts around compound and Olympic movements Why runners need to lift heavy Should you run before you lift, or vice versa? Maintain and build an aerobic base while injured Best ways to speed up recovery Fasted vs. fed workouts Pivoting when life hands you setbacks Carbs vs. fat for fuel and the pros and cons of each Why you need more fiber in your diet How to prevent overtraining Why some stress is your life is a good things Mark’s definition of ambition
