How the best keep on winning

from Escapist Corner Hosted by by Rickard Long

Silver medalists are measurably less happy than bronze medalists. Third place, happier than second. The Cornell research on this is uncomfortable and completely clarifying — and it is the starting point for this week's episode. Roald Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911 and came home with something far more valuable than a flag in the ice. We launched The Zoo this week — a Hyrox simulation in Charlottenburg on August 22nd — and why former Olympic athletes are finding a kind of joy in Hyrox they stopped feeling on the podium. Plus the honest difference between CrossFit and Hyrox, why creatine matters more in the heat than most people realise, and what my kids have to do with why I am not crushed when I miss a goal. Theme: Legacy. One action. Ten minutes. Never Start Over Again is your weekly Monday reset — hosted by Rickard Long.
