COMMUNITY TESTIMONIALS
The Hybrid Program has pushed my limits and delivered exceptional results! The structured strength and conditioning workouts have significantly enhanced my muscle tone and endurance, while the specialised running sessions have improved my speed and stamina beyond what I thought possible. To my own amazement, I completed the half marathon with a time of 1hr 44mins! This has to be one of my biggest personal achievements and I feel extremely proud of myself.
- Leanne (Hybrid Program)
Completing the MWU hybrid program has been nothing short of transformative. In just over 6 weeks, I've experienced a shift in both my physical and mental well-being. By incorporating a mix of running and strength training into my routine, I've witnessed a significant improvement in my fitness levels. I've felt my muscles grow stronger and more defined as well as a boost in my confidence. This program truly was a fun yet challenging to complete and I loved every bit of it!
- Tabitha (Hybrid Program)
The hardest aspect for running for me was just getting started. I’ve never been a runner and to me, it sounded too hard. When I saw the Hybrid program come out, I felt like it was time to try something new and to challenge myself. I instantly found a love for running and I was able to achieve something I never thought I could. The biggest shift for me was after I committed to a goal that I was excited for, my first 12km run. This program had me running from 5km to 12km in just 6 weeks! I now have a love for running and I’m now at a stage of signing up for my first half marathon!
- Brooke (Hybrid Program)
Before starting the Hybrid program, I have never ever ever ran in my life, never have done cardio and only lifted at the gym quite inconsistently. Today, I finished my first 5k at the best pace I have ever ran, which would have been even faster if I didn't get a major stitch halfway! Thank you Coach Annabelle and thank you MWU Team for creating and including this program! I am over the moon!!

Level 2 is here to take your Hybrid training to the next level.
The key differences you'll experience between levels 1 and 2 are:
✓ You now have the option to run three times per week instead of two, with more specific types of runs such as low heart rate, interval, tempo, and easy runs. Additionally, you can opt to run for a distance rather than just focusing on time.
✓ An increase in overall running distances to push your limits further.
✓ The introduction of a 5km time trial, designed to test your speed and endurance.
✓ Your strength training is taken up a notch, with your lifting sessions tailored to percentages of your one-rep max (1RM).
✓ New Dedicated Upper Body Sessions.
✓ Each session has a mobility warm-up and a warm-up set for the first heavy lift of the workout. There is also a dedicated full-body mobility session each week, this will help aid in recovery and injury prevention.
✓ You'll also encounter new exercises and progressions from Level 1, ensuring continuous improvement and new challenges.
This 6-week Program is broken down into two 3-week blocks. Weeks 1 and 4 follow a low rep range (6-8 reps), focusing on strength in your compound lifts. In weeks 2 and 5, you'll transition to a medium rep range (8-12), incorporating more running-specific and single-leg movements. Finally, during weeks 3 and 6, you'll experience high rep ranges (12-15), emphasizing time under tension and accessory exercises.
Throughout the Program, the total time spent running per week will gradually increase, allowing your body to adapt to the new training style. The Program primarily focuses on compound lifts using free weights, with options to swap for machines where needed. Running-specific exercises are also incorporated to enhance single-leg strength and target the required muscles. The initial weeks of this Program may pose a challenge, especially if this style of training is new for you. However, the structure is designed to gradually increase intensity from weeks 1 to 6 as your body adjusts to the new movement patterns.
