What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that calculates optimal rest periods and training volume based on both lifting and running intensity logs.
  2. A structured training template library specifically designed for concurrent training to minimize interference effects.
  3. A community-led database of peer-reviewed studies and expert-verified protocols for balancing strength and endurance.
