The main discussion centres on the recent Hyrox Beijing race, where Joanna suffered a severe bowel accident during the competition. The incident sparked a huge reaction online, with plenty of criticism directed her way. Alan and Ian discuss what happened, the lack of clarity around the rules, Hyrox\u2019s response, and whether social media has taken the reaction too far. There\u2019s plenty more fitness racing news too, including the brilliant coverage of Deadly Dozen in Women\u2019s Running Magazine, results from Born Survivor and DEKA, and a look ahead to some upcoming events. They also chat about the British Obstacle Sports Youth Championships, a free ticket offer for new members, and finish the episode by highlighting the Leon\u2019s Memorial Wave at Tough Mudder and the charity behind it. https:\/\/justgiving.com\/page\/leon-hardwick-8 As always, expect plenty of opinions, plenty of laughs, and a few moments where Alan and Ian probably should have just kept their phones switched off! \ud83c\udfa7 The Swift Half \u2013 Episode 290 Fitness racing, OCR, running, events and everything in between.   Give it a listen, let us know what you think and, as always, share it with your running\/OCR mates!
