Scott Britton \u2013 our man in the trenches \u2013 is back at it again after successfully transitioning from full-time CrossFitter to Iron Man finisher<\/a>. This time he’s tackling an even bigger hybrid challenge. This is exactly how he’s training for it.<\/p>\n

After years spent training either to lift something very heavy or to complete a workout as fast as possible, I finally dipped a toe into endurance sport in 2024 with my first full Ironman.<\/p>\n

The biggest lesson? It was hard \u2013 yes \u2013 but not impossible. And maybe, just maybe, it\u2019s not impossible to still lift heavy, complete fast workouts, and train for endurance events at the same time.<\/p>\n

That idea stayed with me throughout the year, as I kicked off 2025 with a Hyrox, a CrossFit competition, and a full marathon \u2013 all within the first three months. More and more, I enjoyed mixing up the disciplines and working out how to maintain all of them. So, I started planning the ultimate hybrid challenge:<\/p>\n
