The Running Public

This is a three-part episode. One, we share our initial review of the new Tectonic X “trail super shoes” from Hoka. Two, we discuss “when to race your own race and when to race someone else’s race.” Three, we dive deeper down the rabbit hole that Jon Albon opened last week about the usefulness of training in super shoes.

When we last talked to Jon, a little more than a year ago, he was coming off foot surgery and barely able to jog. Last weekend he won the prestigious Marathon du Mont Blanc; arguably the best accomplishment of his entire career. How did he get from there to here? Suppose you’ll have to push Play! 

Mr McIntyre co-hosts a special Training Tuesday all about the training for Hyrox. Well, mostly about training for Hyrox with a small amount of Hunter tangents.

Fine, it’s mostly chit chat, tangents, and nonsense, but there still is some Hyrox training GOLD in there along with a breakdown of his new Hyrox Masterclass training program.
