My Journey To HYROX Taught Me About Way More Than Fitness

From there, we built up to at least two runs a week, around 5 miles each, with a stretch break at the halfway point. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d love it. Running together reminded me of how much I used to enjoy training with people, that particular feeling of moving through something hard side by side. Our runs became something more: real conversations, genuine connection, an intimacy that’s different from a run club.
