How to programme training going into a National Lockdown
It's happened again. The UK is going into its second National Lockdown. Training is going to have to change as gyms close and access to certain equipment becomes limited. However, this doesn't mean training needs to take a step back in order to achieve our goals.
In Episode 2.3 of the Progress Theory Podcast @thepricep and @daryl_green_ discuss the lockdown changes being made to their training programmes as they approach the second half of their training leading up to the increased strength + 4 hour marathon challenge. They covered the following topics:
- The changes Daryl is making to his weightlifting training now that the gyms are closed
- Common mistakes people made with training from the first lockdown
- Their top 3 tips on how to maximise your training during lockdown
With or without gyms you can still achieve your goals. Download this episode now so you can achieve yours, too.

The Science of Hybrid Training
It was originally thought that you could not effectively train for both strength and endurance at the same time because they required different adaptations which were not compatible with each other. It was claimed that ‘an interference effect’, blunted the adaptations for strength if you simultaneously trained for endurance. However, recent developments in sports which require both strength and endurance have really challenged this idea, with hybrid athletes producing impressive performances in both strength and endurance sports together. This had led scientists, coaches, and athletes to rethink what is humanly possible and suggests the interference effect is not as influential as originally thought. But what is a hybrid athlete? What is the ‘interference effect’? And how can we maximize our training to improve at the same time our strength and endurance performance? In this book, Dr Phil Price provides insight into the misconceptions surrounding strength and endurance training by distilling the past 50 years of research and drawing on the conversations he had with great scientists, coaches, and athletes on The Progress Theory podcast. This book is essential reading for hybrid athletes and coaches who are looking to understand the key training variables and their effect on the simultaneous development of strength and endurance performance.
