Paul's Cap of the Week: @ABQTopes

DEKA introduction, pushing back on a The Guardian article, and the benefits of stretching. (Ep.4)

Paul & Jude Reynolds — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +0100

Sorry it's late! As you'll see from the video we had three takes at getting this done due to technical issues, hence the delays...
This week we respond to a Guardian writer who cites 'critics' of having to spend money to compete at Hyrox, and warning of injuries. And Jude gives us an introduction to DEKA and the suite of sports that sit underneath it.
