Welcome to the Midweek Motivation Podcast!In this episode, Cameron Neale sits down with Matteo Milazzo to unpack his incredible 17 min 51 second [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ASTQmCo3So&t=1071s] sub-18 5K performance, his experience competing in HYROX, and the brutal reality of pushing into Zone 5 heart rate training. Matteo shares how burpees, hybrid conditioning, and endurance work sharpen both physical capacity and mental toughness.
