Intro

A breakdown of I Trained Like This Hybrid Athlete for 24 Hours… from Shervin Shares. Worth a watch. We’ve pulled the essentials so you can do the workout yourself.

Key points

• Hybrid Athlete concept: pair steady-state cardio, strength training, mobility work, and smart eating to build long-term fitness and durability.
• Aerobic base run: 45 minutes of running with heart rate under your max aerobic threshold (use the MAF 180-age formula; for example, 180 minus 30 equals 150 bpm, targeting around 145 bpm if you have asthma or are returning from injury).
• A chest-strap HR monitor is more accurate than wrist sensors for effort zones.
• Strength session: a full-body routine focused on pressing (shoulder activation, core work, barbell bench). Load adjusts to your strength.
• Recovery: ice bath and sauna for circulation and a mental reset.
• Nutrition: a protein-forward meal (Texas BBQ-style with mac and cheese, turkey, and greens) to refuel.
• App note: BPN Training lets you pick a workout, send it to your Garmin, and track completion without extra steps.

Workout example

Day 1, hybrid athlete (Austin, TX)

1. Aerobic run: 45 min, 4.83 mi at ~9:29/mi pace, average HR around 142 bpm (stay below 150 bpm). Wear a chest strap and use the MAF formula for your target zone.
2. Strength session:
   • Shoulder warm-up (2 × 10 reps)
   • Core work (plank 30 s + bird-dog 10 reps per side, 3 rounds)
   • Barbell bench press: 3 sets of 8 reps (load from your 1RM).
3. Recovery: 5-10 min cold plunge, then 5 min heat exposure.
4. Nutrition: a protein-rich meal (around 30-40 g protein) like BBQ turkey, mac and cheese, and vegetables.

Adjust mileage, speed, and reps in the Pacing app to fit your fitness.

Closing note

Try this hybrid routine: run aerobic, do a strength block, recover, eat protein. The Pacing app dials in paces and volumes. Watch the full Shervin Shares video for context.
