ABOUT

Hybrid Athlete Mission

We strive to spread the word about injury prevention for all athletes, especially ones that drive for strength AND endurance. We want to share the info I gathered over time and the exercise gear that really helps you prevent injuries. Ultimately, we want to help athletes grow healthy habits, no matter the sport.

Hybrid Athlete Core Values

Hybrid Athlete is not about training and medical data only. It’s about a healthy approach that can help us all achieve our potential. It’s about the mindset that helps you discover where the bar is and raise it.

At Hybrid Athlete, we believe in the three foundational pillars everyone should adhere to:

  • STRENGTH – explosive, controlled, stable movement
  • ENDURANCE – the ability to run far and endure prolonged physical stress
  • LONGEVITY – being able to do both injury-free

Who Is Behind Hybrid Athlete?

I liked to push my body to perform in many vectors, and I did not want to lock into a single sport or discipline. But no one in their right mind can truly dedicate themselves to all these sports at once.

So, I came to a combination of weightlifting and running, and I realized that that’s what’s it all about – running far and lifting heavy! All while keeping my body in check, injury-free.

Eventually, I would complete races like the Strong Viking 42km marathons in 2018 and 2022, as well as the Mudmasters 42km marathon in 2022. This is also when I realized that pushing your body comes with a price, and plantar fasciitis put me out of action.

My background in neuroscience and physiology helped me dive into the biomechanics of the knees, ankles, and feet. After studying the bones, ligaments, muscles, and nerves in these areas, I realized I was missing the third pillar next to strength and endurance – I was missing injury prevention, aka bulletproofing!

No one should have to suffer through the pain and setbacks of injuries when there are proven ways to prevent them!
