Welcome back to The Weekly Split - your weekly breakdown of everything happening in fitness.
In Episode 9, weโre joined by top hybrid athlete Aaron Travers.
Fresh off his recent ATHX win, Aaron takes us through how he prepared for the event, the training that went into it and what it took to come away with the victory.
We also dive into Aaronโs current training schedule, the huge volume of work he completes each week and where his main focus sits when balancing strength, endurance and hybrid performance.
Aaron also talks about his history with HYROX, his plans for the future and whether we could see him make a return to the sport.
