Hypertrophy + Endurance Athletic Training (H.E.A.T program)

As someone who has never been too big into long distance running, a half marathon is not going to be easy, especially at 215 pounds. I ran one a few years back just to see if I could finish, but this time I'm looking to step it up a notch and keep it under 1:55.
I'm taking a different approach to training for this by incorporating Fitness Cultures new HEAT Program.
Can this program get me Half Marathon ready?

Been following since early 2017 and I tell you what, this current phase you’re in is so fun to watch. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed every chapter you’ve brought us through, but this one has been awesome! Thanks for the entertainment, Steve!

Love seeing you move into different aspects of training. As I moved into my 40's I found that I needed to pivot and have various outlets of maintaining my physical and mental health. Having specific days geared towards lifting, cardio, stretching and mediation keep me more balanced. Keep these vlogs coming!

Pretty impressive to be able to run two sub 6 min miles at your size 👍🏾 I agree with what you said about setting up systems. I’m currently trying to do the same.

Nice to see some different type of training!!

Steve, check out barefoot shoes! Xero, Vivobarefoot, Lems, Altra, etc. They have wide toe boxes and a zero drop sole which helps your knees, lower back, etc. We weren’t meant to run on those thick Hoka cushions.

Great video, and phenomenal mindet/approach to your training and content...documenting what you're passionate about and finding the joy in doing so. Necessary attitude for all aspects of life.

You have my favorite vids rn I absolutely love these vids I’m basically doing the same thing rn getting ready for a 5K next weekend while also weight training everyday. So these vids are great motivation for me!

For his size, a mile in 5:50 is insane. Damn, he is in great shape.

Loving the HEAT program so far, loving it even more now it seems like I have an excuse to buy more shoes 😂

[dnice]

Saucony are fire, use them when I run, I love them

[billmartinez]

Would definitely like to to a follow up to your health video you did, to what you did and what worked and what didn’t
