Jake Dearden joins the show to talk about his 2025 HYROX season, training philosophy, and what it's like competing among the world's best hybrid athletes. We dive into the ongoing debate of volume vs. intensity, HYROX's new athlete license rules, and how the sport is evolving across Europe and the U.S.

We also get into: – His doubles partnership with James Kelly and the top 15 race picture – Why he respects Lauren Weeks' "gamer" mentality – Hunter McIntyre's off-season fitness and what makes him elite – HYROX sleds, technique myths, and course differences – The rise of fitness races like Life Time Games and what's next for the sport

Then we go to the finish line of last weekend's Life Time Games with interviews from Dylan Scott, Terra Jackson, Cole Sager, Marcus Wallace, Jack Driscoll, Janelle Teal, and more.
