The Hybrid Foundation:

Taking the confusion out of getting started

Every aspiring Hybrid Athlete asks the same question.

"How do I get started without sacrificing strength or endurance?"

The answer is usually an unhelpful "it depends."

Until now.

The Hybrid Foundation solves this problem with a proven 6-month system that works whether you're coming from:

A strength-dominant background

An endurance-focused history

Or starting fresh with both

Our Approach

  • Henry running track intervals for Hybrid Training

    Become the Complete Athlete

    The Hybrid Foundation is designed to give you the best start to your Hybrid Training. It’s the most common problem with this type of training - how on earth do you get started? I’ve created this training to specifically solve this problem. it doesn’t matter if you come from a purely strength background, or from a purely endurance based background. Your Hybrid Foundation phase will be tailored to turn you into the most complete athlete possible.

    Build & Maintain Strength

    Over the course of the Foundation you’ll build and maintain generalised, full body strength that is based around the 3 main lifts of Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift. Having this strength base will then allow you the flexibility to push into many other areas of the strength training world.

    Build & Maintain Endurance

    During your Hybrid Foundation, we will have a core focus on getting you to become a better runner - avoiding many of the mistakes that new runners make. The focus is on building your aerobic base and running economy across two training phases - a speed phase followed by an endurance phase, where we focus on improving your 5km time before we switch to a half marathon approach.

Strength. Speed.  Endurance.

Expert Hybrid Training

The bedrock of turning you into a Hybrid Athlete is understanding how to combine Strength & Endurance capabilities in a way that is sustainable for you over the long term.

The Hybrid Foundation is designed to meet you where you are currently at, to make sure you develop your strength & endurance concurrently.

You’ll demonstrate this twice over the course of the process, firstly with a deadlift and 5km run PB in the same week, and then at the end with a full Powerlifting Total and half marathon effort.

Hybrid Nutrition

Nutrition is an area that can make or break your training outcomes, and everyone we work with has their own bespoke “nutritional overview” document created by an MNU Qualified Nutritionist.

We also equip you with the knowledge of how to strategically fuel yourself properly for ultra endurance events, including how to prepare, execute and recover. This will be practised on simulation events in your training in the build up to test week.

We like to place a big emphasis on helping you manage your training, nutrition and recovery around your life.

Unrivalled Coaching & Support

With more than 10 years of coaching experience, this is at the heart of what we do.

As a coaching company, we wouldn’t be doing our job properly if you didn’t feel like you were supported through this process.

This isn’t a group coaching programme. You’re all on the same team, but coached individually & at your own level.

That’s why we have the 1:1 Coaching support throughout your time on the Hybrid Foundation to make sure you are succeeding, with daily contact and in person individual coaching calls. And, unlike some online coaching companies, we cap our coaching slots to 50 clients at any one time, meaning you get our complete attention.

Limited Availability

I intentionally cap my coaching at 50 clients to ensure each person receives the attention they deserve.

Spots for the next Hybrid Foundation intake are limited.

  • Jake

    “Having taken on the Hybrid approach to training I have come on leaps and bounds in a short space of time. Coming from a fairly good cardio background, strength has previously been slightly non existent in my training.

    The programming has been brilliant at incorporating strength and combining it with some really good marathon focussed running, helping elevate me to the next level in my fitness journey, all whilst enjoying the programme and process laid”

  • Kyle

    “I thought it would take the best part of a year to be reaching half marathon distances but I’m almost there in the space of two months thanks to Henry.

    I’ve also not just maintained strength but actually increased it all across the board!”

  • Val

    “Hybrid training can sometimes be seen as a man’s world. As a woman training with H+ Performance, Henry has made me feel comfortable around weights, allowing me to get stronger every day whilst increasing my running potential”

  • Jonny

    “Finally, a sustainable and bespoke Hybrid Training programme that isn’t leaving me burned out.”
