S13 E8: The Case for Cardio Training With Mike Thomson, CSCS

Endurance training isn't just for runners. In this episode, trainer and strength coach Mike Thomson discusses why building your cardiovascular capacity matters for your overall health and longevity.

He shares why balancing strength training and endurance work makes you a better, more resilient mover; the reasons the combination of those two modalities — known as hybrid training — is a trend that's here to stay; how to use your heart-rate zones to train smarter; and how simple recovery habits lay the groundwork for real progress. He also emphasizes the importance of setting benchmarks personalized to you to ensure you're progressing toward your goals.

Whatever your pace, there's a way to train for better endurance.
