• Threshold & tempo training

• Hybrid running strategies

• Conditioning periodization models

​

Module 5: Program Design & Periodization

• Goal-based biasing (strength vs. endurance)

• 4-week, 12-week, and yearly structures

• Daily undulating periodization in hybrid training

• Concurrent training template

​

Module 6: Case Studies​​

• Case Studies & Applications in HYROX

• Competition prep: HYROX & Yodha Race and more

Course Outcome

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Design and implement structured hybrid training programs that integrate strength and endurance while minimizing the interference effect and optimizing recovery.

Assess and monitor athlete performance using strength, conditioning, energy system, and movement quality tests to guide programming decisions.

Demonstrate proficiency in prescribing strength, conditioning, and endurance protocols for athletes, tactical personnel, and lifestyle clients.

​

Translate theory into practice through case studies and real-world applications, preparing clients for goals such as fat loss, performance enhancement, tactical readiness, or hybrid competitions (e.g., HYROX,, Yodha Race and more).
