Great work Fergus. As a powerlifter myself I find your running unbelievably impressive, your cardio is out of this world for a serious lifter.

Thats how my sessions look, just slower, a lot less weights but fatigued about the same 😂 I watched your training plan video and have been using the principles of stacking training sessions by legs/ upper body as well as the intensity/ volume distribution for my training goals (5 weeks left until my fire fighter entry test, need to do running, swimming and some more strength and coordination tests) and that gives me a day off between upper and lower Body and feels much more effective. Btw im German but Ive lived in Edinburgh for two years and I love the city and scotland in general so much, so its always a lot of nostalgia when you show parts of the city or countryside 😊

Viel Glück mein Lieber, du schaffst das. Trainiere sehr ähnlich. Schön zu sehen, dass jemand ähnlich trainiert, bin leider der einzige in meiner Bubble

Wow. Impressive!

Hi Fergus, just found your videos over the past month, very inspiring stuff, keep up the good work! I have a few questions: 1. Do you stretch regularly? How important do you see stretching as a means to prevent injury and to maintain a high workout load day to day? 2. Have you thought about doing any events with budget easily accessible equipment, i.e. a triathalon with a £500 road bike from Halfords? Or a triathlon without a wetsuit (not sure how safe that is though)? 3. Also who does all the house chores in your busy schedule? Is it split 50:50 with your partner or are compromises made?

Awesome vid, as always. PS where/when are Omnia T Shirts available?

That is intensity and determination personified, well done sir💪

Great video! Can you make a video on running form? Would love to see that

Thank you! Honestly not something I feel I could do justice in a longer form video, but I might bring in an expert for a video!

Hi Fergus. The consolidation idea is great and makes a lot of sense. I am wondering what place the 100 jump lunges have in the day though? Surely this is more of a strength endurance stimulus, which I would think you might use on the pre fatigue workout day? Or is this more of a power stimulus that as you gradually reduce the volume across a training cycle, has less of an effect on your running performance in the afternoon session? Thanks!

Love it! What’s your diet like when you’re doing two-a-days like this? Do work in any upper body or is it legs every day for you?

I was about to ask the same!!! I was looking forward to this video, altho it appears he does all exercises fasted, and no snacks between.... Of course I'm assuming I'm wrong.. As well, what's the recovery drink or/and meal after collapsing (I've done this.... collapsing) lol

Good watch

Hi Fergus. You often speak of the good effects of using minimalist shoes. But I see that you change into lifters before squatting. I of course know that elevated heels help flexibility/depth, but still: Do you ever squat in barefoot shoes, and if so are there any benefits?

@ferguscrawley95

I only wear lifting shoes for front squats and high bar squats as they’re more upright variations, everything else is in Vivos. Benefits are dependent on the purpose of the squat in your training really, nothing black and white in this case!

Hi Fergus, do you always lift before running, or do you switch it up?

He's talked about this before. Basically he wants to lift as heavy as possible, which requires fresh legs. So rule of thumb is to always lift before running.

Can you help explain your lower running volume/ low kms/week? I would have thought for this programming you’d obviously be hitting the interval work you are doing but adding in long runs/easy runs and hitting at least 25/30km/week. What’s the logic behind the lower kms?

@ferguscrawley95

What do you mean? This is just 1 day of training - my weekly volume is around 30-40km at the moment.
