Hybrid Race Training in Bellows

Hybrid races mix running with work stations: run, station, run, station. Bellows times every segment, so you see exactly where the minutes go.

The Hybrid Race Simulation

Start it from Today → Start → Hybrid Race Simulation. Pick a template or build your own:

• Full: eight rounds of a 1 km run followed by a station, in the popular race order: ski erg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls.
• Half: the first four rounds.
• Custom: any runs and stations you like. Change the run distance, reorder rounds, or set a round with no run.

During the Session

1. Tap Done as each run or station ends. Bellows times every segment.
2. Lock the phone if you want. Times come from saved timestamps, so locking the phone or closing Bellows loses nothing.
3. Afterwards, log the actual weights and reps and fix any split you mistimed. It saves as one workout.

Templates you set up are saved as routines in a Race Simulations folder, so next time it's one tap.

Building the Rest of the Week

A hybrid week usually has run repeats, a stations circuit, a strength day and a long run. Bellows shows lifting and running together, and warns you when heavy leg work sits within about a day of a long run or a speed session. More on that in Lifting While Training for a Marathon.

If you use an AI assistant, ask it to lay out your weeks to race day. See Plan Your Workouts with AI.
