Summary

We're answering three of your questions this week:

📍 Can a CrossFit athlete's performance become worse due to running, and if so, how much running is too much?

📍 Why is it important to stay informed about the news and politics, even if it can be seen as mostly entertainment and outside of our control?

📍 How can one build a relationship with oneself after spending many years focused on being who everyone else wanted them to be, especially after a divorce and at a young age?

PLUS:

📍 We're talking about when Ben went to prison to learn more about a program bringing CrossFit to inmates.

📍 We wrap up with another round of our Recommendation Roundup, where we talk about what we've been reading, listening to, and enjoying lately.

1:29.5	ready to get into the warm-up. Let's go. We start every episode with listener questions about
