The mental war of being out that long, how you protect your fitness when you physically can't run, and whether you can fight your way back to the top while the sport gets faster around you every single week. We alsoWe also open with the LSKD controversy blowing up in HYROX right now. The cease and desist, Puma's exclusive grip on the sport, and whether it's fair that the big brands ambush from the sidelines while the smaller ones get shut out.
