Do I need to be an experienced runner and lifter to start?
No. If you have not been running or lifting much, each workout can be scaled to meet your current fitness level as your body adjusts and you build up strength and running endurance.
Our coaches in the Mayhem Athlete app can help guide you in approaching each track and each day with a plan.
Workouts are governed by rate of perceived exertion (RPE), so adjustments are readily available.
If you are running and lifting regularly, you are ready to start.
What happens if I miss a day?
We design our programs so that if you miss a day you can jump back in and make it up on an active recovery day (Thursday) or our typical rest day (Sunday).
How much time do I need daily?
Typically, the workouts can be completed in 60 to 90 minutes. We will always list the training in order of importance so you can do as much as possible in an hour and still get a great workout in.
Is Hybrid included in my existing Mayhem membership?
Yes. Mayhem Hybrid is included in the Mayhem Everyday Athlete and Mayhem Competitor packages.
Can I do this alongside Everyday Athlete or Competitor programming?
Mayhem Hybrid is built to work as your primary program. We don’t recommend combining full programs from Everyday Athlete or Competitor due to overlap and volume. You can “cherry-pick” any program within Mayhem at your own discretion.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can cancel at any time in your Mayhem Athlete (or SugarWOD) app
