Yes, you read that right... Guy is going to North Korea.

In this episode, Guy and Charlie break down Guy's upcoming ATHX competition and his confirmed trip to North Korea for the Pyongyang Half Marathon in April.

Guy's competing this weekend with Alice in a mix of strength, conditioning, and metcons. They discuss what makes ATHX different from CrossFit, how to prep in the final days before comp, and why Guy thinks the MetCon will be easy...

Charlie's also written Guy a brutal 10-week half marathon plan to prepare him for running in one of the most secretive countries on the planet. They talk through the challenges of shifting from explosive power training to distance running, and whether Guy can actually survive 21 kilometres without his quads cramping up.

By the end of this episode, you'll gain the superior knowledge of:

• What ATHX is and how it compares to CrossFit and HYROX
• Guy's strength targets for the comp
• The reality of prepping for a half marathon when you're built like a rugby player, not a runner
• Why community-driven gyms are taking over and pubs are closing
• The best running soundtracks - Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and why Pirates of the Caribbean is the best music for long runs
• How to balance strength training with running without destroying yourself
