Welcome back to Chafed and Confused! In this episode, we look back on Kyle's summer and how it went so terribly wrong for him while training for the Golden Ultra. How did it go so wrong, and what he did do to fix it? Everyone is terrible sometimes, and Kyle was especially terrible last summer, so let's break it down. The episode ends up diving a lot into mindset, strength training and a deep love/hate relationship with treadmills. Hope you enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
