Jude and Paul Reynolds reunite to review a chaotic week of HYROX racing in Gdańsk and Valencia.Jude breaks down his 57:33 third-place finish in Gdańsk and his faster 56:45 in Valencia, explaining how difficult sled lanes affected both races and forced him to adapt after the second station. He also reveals how approximately 700mg of caffeine, no water and a third race in seven days led to his first HYROX DNF.Paul reflects on his own Valencia race, including an accidental extra lap, while Jude explains why athletes should learn to race by feel instead of allowing heart-rate data to dictate their effort.Finally, they rank CrossFit in the Hybrid Fitness League and deliver the controversial verdict that rugby is the better all-round test of fitness.#HYROX #HybridFitnessReport #BOXROXFollow & Subscribe:🎙 New episodes every week — follow Hybrid Fitness Report on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favourite platform📸 Instagram: @hybridfitnesspodMusic by Infinite NCS Music ‪@InfiniteNCSMusic‬Hyrbrid Fitness Report is part of the BOXROX network.
