On today’s episode of the podcast, we explore mental toughness, performance goals, and the sustainability of various fitness competitions. These might include triathlons, Hyrox, Spartan races, marathons, CrossFit comps, bodybuilding, and powerlifting. Many people in the competition mindset aren’t necessarily training for athletics—or even health—but focus instead on being competitive in a specific arena. Today, we dig into both the psychological and physical aspects of these competitions.
In today’s Episode, We discuss:
- The Psychology Behind Competing

- Cross-Training and Multi-Sport Preparation
