Fatigue, joint pain, rashes, brain fog or tingling in the hands and feet can seem like normal signs of aging—but they may also point to an autoimmune disease.

The undisputed leader of postrevolutionary Iran and spiritual leader of millions of Shiite Muslims, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei developed the nation’s nuclear program and built a once-powerful network of regional militant groups that Israel has been systematically dismantling for more than a year. His resistance to the U.S. and Israel resonated widely in the Middle East, even as it gradually fell out of step with large parts of Iran’s population.

If you wanted to do a fitness competition in the past, you did a running race or—maybe—the CrossFit Games, which whittle a field of hundreds of thousands (who compete virtually) down to the fittest man and woman on earth.

Hyrox—which will hold 135 events in 43 countries this year—draws an average of 15,000 participants per competition. A single entry costs between $100 and $200 depending on the category, and events often sell out within hours, sometimes within minutes.
