not sure if you talked about this elsewhere, but what type of gear do you use in the winter? I live in Canada so the winter can get quite brutal. Slowly trying to get in shape after years of obesity and laziness. Your videos are really helpful. Thank you.
What are you trying to do? I'm Canadian as well, fair bit of Rockies mountaineering and ice climbing under my belt, decent amount of running around the flats as well.
@@MrCdrant just trying to run a bit. For now it's just half hour max outside. I will run on a treadmill if it gets too hard outside. The track i usually run on is in a school but there's no maintenance. They leave the snow on so it sucks running on it.
Very inspiring watching you two run through the hills! Doing Man vs Mountain next year so will be using this to motivate me into some hill runs. Seeing the weather look wet and cold for you guys normalises it so that’s what I can expect! Great vid! So far I’m doing zone 2 on the canal paths! Long way to go yet!
Great to see you and Jonny back on the hills. Please keep on inspiring others to get out there to do some form of physical exercise and leap the rewards for themselves. 💯
I actually really enjoy the shorter format (i'm not sure what the algorithm prefers these days) but commiting to a 19-30 minute video isnt really appetising when you're busy. A wee 10 minute video with succinct points is perfect.
Living in Interior Alaska where everything is very dark and very cold you definitely have to trick the brain to get out there. A light alarm to brighten the room in the morning slowly, proper layering techniques, good peers to push you, and knowing how you will feel during and after and not before keeps you going. Dark, -20F, snow, get out there. You will thank yourself after!
One big thing I take away from a early workout is the smugness of having the rest of the day free for general life. I'm guessing you had all that done before most people were putting the kettle on for there Saturday morning tea in bed.
i always wondered how you guys did to wake up this early, every - damn - morning. Its crazy. It''s so painfull, but it works pretty damn well. I have been able to wake up at 4.50 evry morning for one month and it have been life changing. The first two weeks are very painfull but then its such a pleasure, waking up before everyone else. kicking off running, swimming or whatever and being on time for work, already pumped on at the time people barely woke up and are surviving with their hot coffee in hands. Thanks for the tips fergus, i'll try to prepare my kits before going to bed
I struggle with insomnia so motivation and recovery is poor generally. During the winter is so much worse and currently finding the wintering series is keeping me going.
Stoked for Johnny! A few questions from my side: - Johnny, how do you approach a Hybrid style of training for an athlete wanting to balance competing in BJJ, Powerlifting, Marathon Running / Trail Running, Ironmans, etc ? How should this athlete prepare if they have a goal of competing in Masters Worlds for BJJ? - Johnny & Fergus - How much Zone 2 training would you recommend? Know Dr. Peter Attia is keen on it for longevity. - Johnny & Fergus - Curious on training / weight cutting tips for BJJ and Powerlifting? - Fergus & Johnny - Would you be able to talk about your approach to programming a bit more? Find it super fascinating! - Generally, I’d be curious on recovery protocols. In addition to sleep, etc - how often should we Foam Roll / Stretch, Sauna, Cryo, Massage, etc ? - Thoughts for someone trying to run a sub 3hr Marathon, sub 5hr Ironman 70.3, sub 12hr Ironman? - Is the Maffetone method helpful if you’re trying to be a better runner? - What are some good books you’d recommend for Strength and Conditioning - even mindset, etc would be super helpful!
Brilliant video 100% for accountability this is why my friend and I restarted run club, really enjoyed watching this, I did try starting a 4am cult 🤣 though not one where you actually had to get up at 4am just grt up a little earlier a get stuff done, getting out of bed in the morning though is super hard so having a good reason why is good to do!
Beautiful views :) I definitely agree with your points on how to get yourself off bed and working out in the winter. I for sure have my own ways worked out. In Europe winter season is never easy but definitely it is worth it :) It is my first time seeing your video - it was just suggested based on what I was watching before. I'll check you channel for sure ;)
I use to wake up at 3:30-4 in the morning. After doing it for about a year I was in so much pain waking up. I would sit there and be so unhappy and in agony. It effected everything in my life. In drained my passion to do anything and I would take multiple naps on the weekends. I just wasted so much time. I could only keep doing it cause I had parents who supported me and I could have them take care of life stuff. All I had was running and my fat pay check. My parents had no problem with me quitting and it took me about a week of a lot of sleep to recover. If I wake up early for work now I have a small fleeting sensation of PTSD and have to calm myself saying you don't have to do it tomorrow. For some reason waking up early for say a road trip makes me happy and excited. And I feel no problems.
I was going ask, what's Jonny's story, but I suppose his own channel might answer that? Or is there a previous video? I'm assuming he's some double hard ex SF guy?
New to the channel and finding extremely motivating and informative. Not usually one to leave comments, but wanted to pass on my appreciation for your content. Oh, and thanks to your kit recommendations video, i picked up my HUUB Varman wetsuit in HUUB Black Friday sale yesterday for £289 (50% off, madness).
Great info and solid points to apply. And I’m sure you think all that great information and this Yank asks what jacket Jonnie is wearing? But it is a sweet looking jacket and I secretly want to be just like Johnnie. And you too Fergus. Thanks!!!
For no. 5 it might be a bit of a culture thing. Some people don't keep their commitments and do not weigh the time of others as heavily as their training buddy or reckon that it won't take something out of their buddy if they don't turn up. Maybe then it's best the buddy train alone.
He's a powerlifter and triathlete, as these are polar opposite sports there's very little overlap between the training required. Alex Viada is credited with coining the term, his book "hybrid athlete" is well worth reading if this sort of thing interests you
i recently started running more Ks, like 10 15Ks a week for a month now ( ran before that too but not more than 4 or 5 Ks), i take enough rest, stretch and warm ups are on point. but every run is very painful specially at the start. most of the time i just run the whole thing with pain. i do leg day once a week and run once or twice and recover. but it seems as soon i start running all the pain comes back. shin splints, calves hurts, knees feel wierd. is it normal and do i get used to it or am i doing something wrong?
Check your foot strike. I found before I was heel striking and ended up with shin splints and hip pain. Now I’m mid striking and kiss the ground with your heel. Could never do more than 5k but now can run 10miles. Running my first half marathon in 2 weeks
@@Viokenna Yooo, appreciate it man, i think it's the shoes too, they're oooolllld🤣 good luck on the marathon my guy, give me an update on how it was if you remembered. thanks
I second laying your kit out the night before. I generally get up at 6am mid week for the 2 zone two runs and just do the 10km on an empty stomach and get breakfast when I get back. Works at the moment. I'm building distance for a half marathon still at zone two on the Saturday run so I eat before that one because I haven't got to sort kids and get to work. When I get happy with the distance and start adding speedwork I will have to review my schedule. But there is no one size fits all it's all about reviewing what works for you now and what doesn't so you can progress.
Can you imagine you had to work 9 hours a day. Can you imagine what the hybrid athlete will do. Where is that video. All we see is a guy doing fuckall all day. We work for a living, then training comes
@@ferguscrawley95 Thank you. People loveee to make excuses. I have friends in their 40’s who work 16 hour days and come to the gym after to workout. If it’s a priority , you’ll make it happen. Stay hard 👍🏽
Jealous man, wish I had a friend to train with like this. Alone we go for a bit longer.
They're out there my man! Great work shifting away solo in the meantime!
Where are you based dude? Would love to connect!
@Naeem Rohani @Cameron Reynolds let's start a group of super beasts hahaha
The stache look is fantastic Fergus. Thanks for inspiring me pretty much daily. Inside and outside the gym. Keep it going brother. Cheers.
Haha thank you! Great to hear, keep at it!

I've seen him use some ThruDark gear in past videos, pricey stuff.
What are you trying to do? I'm Canadian as well, fair bit of Rockies mountaineering and ice climbing under my belt, decent amount of running around the flats as well.
@@ryangilmartin7892 thanks. Will take a look

Ideal for a tea break in work
Great to hear man thank you!
Love the videos, always very inspiring as some who loves running and cycling, can't wait to see more from you 😄🚴
Why you love run running and cycling, why you don't like biking
My friends are all lazy so I tend to use beeminder as my accountability partner. Linked to strava its pretty convincing. Great video as ever.
I'll have a look at Beeminder! Thanks for watching!
I never knew the guy from the mighty Boosh was a runner. Enjoyed the video . Inspiring and great scenes

can you do some more winter tip videos bro for all us bros stuggling this winter lol
It's too easy to talk yourself out of training on a cold winter morning
I struggle with insomnia so motivation and recovery is poor generally. During the winter is so much worse and currently finding the wintering series is keeping me going.
Another banging video! Keep it up!
Thank you!

I'll pass this on, thanks Dylan! Make sure to check out the Omnia Performance Podcast however, as we have covered almost all of this on there already!
Hybrid athlete is a nonsense term.
Great video, thanks
Get a proper dog and bring it out with you ;)
Good things come to those who sweat.
what the hell is a hybrid athlete….
Oh my god, so organised!!! I feel ashamed watching this. I decide everything last minute. I don't have any routine.
Sick vid lad... u just keep motivating me.. keep doin u..
Thanks Jakub!
Every song made me feel like I was watching nick bare 😂
Watching this, while eating an icecream🥲
Hey man, I'm 19, want to be a professional mma fighter but I have to change my lifestyle alot, glad the algorithm fed me your channel.
I like the term " hybrid athlete " .... you just train yourself bro calm down
Just found your channel, I just subscribed. Brilliant stuff. I like your style mate. I love your dogs too. 👍

Man's got money wearing Thrudark! I want it
hey, what's that music called you always play in all your vids, for example at 00:24
What was the temperature that morning? Gives motivation to everyone even on the ones who don't like coldness and early mornings.
Fergus, if you ever do cancel a sesh get Jonny to call you and do the Liam Neeson Taken line, it’d be too scary ha!
"45 degrees celcius" *shrugs in American*

My hack is to live in Hong Kong - cold for maybe two weeks a year 😂
Anyone else use that rise product. Is it worth £45 a month ?
4:28 could you tell the soundtrack
“Hybrid Athlete” 😂😂😂
It’s good to let the light hit you’re skin even in the winter
you know how to tell he's a true hybrid athlete? He puts his sock on standing up!
Was that the pentlands? What route do you run please?
You are not a hybrid runner until you have ran for a London bus
Perfect length video!
what is the name of the intro song ?
What makes you a "hybrid" athlete?
Because he trains in multiple disciplines
He's a powerlifter and triathlete, as these are polar opposite sports there's very little overlap between the training required. Alex Viada is credited with coining the term, his book "hybrid athlete" is well worth reading if this sort of thing interests you
Great content Fergus, thanks for continuing to motivate. Would like to see you do the 3 peaks challenge.
Love the shorter format lad
V good video length keep it up
Super solid video man. Love this short format
Thanks Ziggy!
Awesome vid mate !
For video referencing
motivational!
Love that sunrise and view!! ❤

Awesome my man! Too right!
Nice, im new to the channel but can tou fo over the world weather gear to keep you warm during the tortures of winter
May i ask,at what time do you sleep at night?
Can you imagine you had to work 9 hours a day. Can you imagine what the hybrid athlete will do.
