Performing an endurance challenge is often used to test one’s physical limits. That was the case of Robert Hartley, the co-owner of CrossFit Inevitable in Elizabethtown, KY. On Sept. 12, 2022, Hartley embarked on a challenge where he ventured to complete 31 CrossFit “Hero” workouts within a 31-hour time cap.
I needed to do something to push myself further than I ever have.
A Hero workout is a workout dedicated to a fallen service member to honor their memory. Hartley’s 31 in 31 challenge, to put it simply, was conceived by with the intent of having outsiders feel it was not possible. Additionally, per a caption in an Instagram post, his endurance feat was intended as a tribute to “the 31 Fallen Troopers of the Kentucky State Police,” as Hartley is a Kentucky state trooper. Check it out below:
