Endurance and Hypertrophy

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Jordan,

How would you balance hypertrophy and endurance goals for someone interested in getting bigger and improving their three mile run time? Would you train both goals concurrently or focus on one while maintaining the other? For example, would it be a good training plan to cycle between the endurance and bodybuilding templates?

To provide some context, the individual for the example is in their 30s, 180lbs, 33 inch was, 315 squat, 225 bench, 405 deadlift and a 20 minute 3 mile. I am deciding whether this situation requires 1 on 1 coaching or if I can simply cycle between the two templates. Thanks for your help.

It depends how good you want to be at the 5K and/or how jacked you want to be…

That said, I think you could get pretty far just alternating some of the templates until you’re further along and/or if you’re not getting a good response to the training.
