Episode notes

In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to speak with Travis Owles (@travisowles). Travis was recently part of the team that took the HYROX World Record for the Men’s Relay in Poznan. He also broke the World Record for the fastest ever mile of burpee broad jumps (in a crazy time!), AND he also has the record for the most amount of HYROXes completed in 24 hours. In our chat Travis talks about all these challenges, and more, along with lots of great training and mindset tips that help him to do all that he does.
