About this episode
In this week’s episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast I get to chat with Ricky Banner (@hyrox_amputee). Ricky competes in HYROX despite having his left leg amputated after standing on an IED when serving in the military several years ago. In this chat we talk about that incident some more, and his recovery from that – both from a physical and mental perspective, we talk about his background, his racing in HYROX, how HYROX has helped him both mentally and physically, some of the factors he thinks are crucial to focus on when you are suffering with your mental health, and the retreats that he is running to help people from that perspective. 🏅 This episode is supported by Xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.
