Coming off my latest CrossFit competition, I take some time to reflect on my recovery, where I'm at as an athlete, and the direction I want to take this channel. I also dive into some bigger conversations surrounding fitness and training. With the rapid growth of HYROX and hybrid fitness, we're seeing a new wave of people entering the strength and conditioning world. I discuss some fundamental principles of strength training and explain the important difference between simply exercising and actually training with a purpose. Lastly, I explain why I've moved toward performing traditional CrossFit workouts only twice per week. For me, it's about building a more sustainable approach to fitness that allows for long-term progress without constantly pushing the limits of recovery. Movements performed in my training session, sled pulls, echo bike, ski erg, strict press, core, lunges.

Got into crossfit at 38 as a burned out semi pro ultrarunner looking for something new, went from couldnt do wall walks in my first open to 5 years later podium a rx division at a local comp.
