David Hippensteell is a 5 times Crossfit Games masters athlete and winner of the Games in the Masters 60+ division in 2016 and 2017. …
Okay, I listen to a lot of Rogan. I don’t always agree with everything he says and I am baffled as to why he gives airtime to utter dicks like Gavin MacInnes and his alt right ilk, but he does have a lot of very interesting conversations with a lot of very interesting people, and …
This is a pretty amazing comeback. To fall 200m from the end of a 600m race: a long sprint, not a distance race, and to get up and come back and win, is downright amazing. Three things to take from this: Sometimes bad things just happen. It’s how you react to them that matters. If …
