If you've been training the same way for years, chasing body composition without a performance goal, this episode is the wake up call that shows what you're missing and why fitness might feel stale.In this episode of Supra human, Ben Olliver, Dr. Taylor Waters, and Ryan Stevens discuss their first Hyrox race in Phoenix, from getting overtaken by unlikely runners to discovering that Hyrox is a running race disguised as circuit training.
