092: Elite 15 Athlete Tom Rodgers, Refusing To Quit

Ben and Jackson are joined by Elite 15 athlete Tom Rodgers.Twelve months ago Tom was top 6 in the world, an Elite 15 athlete racing the best on the planet at the HYROX Chicago World Championships. Then his body broke. Eighteen months of injury, surgery talk, and long days on crutches.But he never stopped. We're talking garage ski erg sessions for hours on end, holding onto a world-class engine around long shifts as a cop in rural Melbourne, refusing to let the comeback die.This one is about the setback most athletes never come back from. 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.

Ben and Jackson, back with one of our best yet. Let's get into it.Links⁠⁠⁠- Become a founding Sparkie Member⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 Coaching with Coach Jackson⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠
