How the best keep on winning

Hosted by Rickard Long, founder of Escapist CrossFit Berlin. Research from Cornell University found that Olympic silver medalists are measurably less happy than bronze medalists immediately after their events. This episode starts there and goes deeper — into Roald Amundsen's race to the South Pole in 1911, what he actually came home with, and why his rival Scott died on the return journey with the flag already planted. We also launched The Zoo today — a Hyrox simulation event on August 22nd in Charlottenburg — and I share my honest take on the difference between CrossFit and Hyrox and why former Olympic athletes are falling in love with a format where their identity is no longer riding on the result. Plus creatine in the heat, what it actually does for your brain and bones, and the only protocol you need. And the personal thread: why knowing your true north means goals stop being threatening and start being interesting. One historical story. One event launch. One science layer. One personal thread. One action. This is your weekly Monday reset. Not to restart — to realign. —— New episode every Monday. Hosted by Rickard Long Escapist CrossFit Berlin — escapistcrossfit.com
