The Jake Dearden Podcast

Marc Dean joins Jake for a conversation about going from a full-time electrician to an elite HYROX athlete and what it really takes to compete at the highest level.

We cover how to break 60 minutes, build a better running engine, structure your training, fuel for performance, improve recovery and balance elite sport with being a dad.
