S2E11. How to train hybrid - balance running & lifting weights 9 Lives

Perhaps one of my most popular FAQs: Cassia, why do you train hybrid and what even is hybrid training?



For me, hybrid has become a way of life and the most sustainable way to stay happy and active. In this episode I talk about the fundamentals of this training style including goal setting and how endurance running and lifting weights can compliment one another when it comes to health benefits as well as mind set.



Don't forget to tag me in your selfies this week while you're out training and on your adventures - I can't wait for us all to connect even more.



Love always,

Cass xx
