For runners who also lift · HYROX · marathon-and-gym

Plan your running and lifting as one coordinated week.

Stop stitching a running app and a lifting plan together and hoping. The Concurrent Method is a downloadable planner that puts both into one editable week, flags obvious spacing conflicts, and helps you adjust for readiness or deload weeks.

The problem

The apps you're using don't know about each other.

Your running app assumes it owns your whole week. So does your lifting plan. Neither can see the other's load, so it is easy to stack hard sessions without noticing. The result often feels like this:

This is usually a structure problem. Concurrent-training evidence shows that strength and endurance adaptations can interact, and the practical size of that effect depends on training status, volume, mode and timing. The planner gives you a conservative structure to review, not a physiological guarantee.

The mechanism

One week. Clearer spacing.

The Concurrent Method is built on a simple planning idea: separate the hardest lower-body sessions where your schedule allows, and manage total fatigue conservatively. The exact response is individual, but the weekly structure is easier to see.

01

Tell it your real week

Days you can train, how many runs and lifts, your long-run day, and — crucially — how recovered you feel this week.

02

It sequences the clash away

Hard runs and heavy leg days are placed apart where possible. The day before your long run stays light. Upper body fills the gaps. When separation is not possible, the tool flags the compromise.

03

It pulls back when you're cooked

Low readiness or a deload week automatically downgrades hard sessions in the plan. It is a conservative default you can review against your own context.

04

You own it — forever

Print it, export to your calendar, re-run it every Sunday. No login, no subscription, no data leaving your device.

What's inside

A real working tool — plus the method behind it.

Not a PDF you read once and forget. A toolkit you'll open every week of every training block.

The core tool

The Hybrid Week Builder

A working, browser-based planner that lays out any week in 60 seconds — sequencing your runs and lifts, flagging higher-load back-to-back days, and adjusting to your readiness input. Print or export to calendar.

Read first

The Method Guide

~6,000 words explaining the why behind every rule — the interference effect, sequencing, RPE, deloads, self-regulation. So you run your own training intelligently, not blindly.

Plan

12-Week Concurrent Block

A structured three-mesocycle plan (base → build → peak → deload) you fill with your own sessions. Opens in any spreadsheet.

Track

Training + Readiness Log

The daily log that makes your weekly readiness honest — the data you feed back into the Builder.

Race-specific

HYROX 8-Week Sharpener

A station-by-station prep block layering the eight HYROX exercises onto your running base.

Reference

Lift Substitution Library + Race-Week Taper

Strength-movement options, lower-fatigue swaps, and a race-week checklist for tapering lifting and running together.

Honest answers

Questions you should be asking.

Will this stop me getting injured?

No. Running and lifting carry inherent injury risk, and a generic tool cannot assess your body, pain history, technique, health status or recovery. This toolkit only helps you review spacing and load-management assumptions. Pain, injury and return-to-sport decisions belong with a suitably qualified professional.

How is this different from Runna, Hypla, or a running app with strength bolted on?

This is not trying to be your watch app. It is a one-time downloadable planning layer: you enter the week, it suggests a conservative structure, and the guide explains the assumptions so you can adjust rather than trust a black box.

Does it sync to my Garmin / Apple Watch?

No. This method puts the judgement with you: it generates a clear week you can export to your calendar and adapt to real life.

Is this medical or coaching advice?

No. It is an educational training-planning toolkit. It is not medical advice, physiotherapy, or personalised coaching, and it does not diagnose or treat anything. If you're returning from injury or managing a health condition, get cleared by a doctor or physio first and use this as a scheduling aid only.

I'm a complete beginner, older athlete, or returning after injury. Is it for me?

Use extra caution. The Builder has a cautious mode that uses easy runs and light full-body lifting, but it does not assess injuries, technique, medical history or suitability. If you are returning after injury or managing a condition, get cleared first and use the tool only as a scheduling aid.

What exactly do I get, and what format?

A self-contained toolkit: the working Week Builder (an HTML tool that runs in any browser, no internet needed after download), the Method Guide, and fill-in CSV/spreadsheet templates plus reference docs. No app to install, no account, nothing uploaded anywhere.

Was this built with AI?

Yes — it was built with AI assistance and reviewed for accuracy. The training principles it uses (concurrent-training context, mostly-easy running, sequencing, deloads, RPE) are a mix of public guidance, research context and widely used coaching conventions, and the Method Guide is honest about which is which. Every number in the tool is a labelled, editable default, not a claimed fact.

Put both sports on the same weekly map.

A clearer week is easier to review, adjust and repeat.
