Misfit Podcast

You finish a workout and immediately think, “I can do better than that.” Okay, but where? Faster transitions? Different sets? Did you actually pace it poorly, or did it just hurt? This week we're digging into the art of retesting workouts, from benchmarks you haven't touched in years to phase retests and the quick turnaround of an Open workout or online qualifier.
We talk through how to review your video, use movement and round splits, and figure out which changes will actually get you a better score. We also break down examples from our Phase 1 tests and some common traps: going through the motions on your first attempt, throwing away a good strategy, and assuming better fitness means you should double down on the plan that blew you up last time. If you're going to do it again, you should have a good answer for what you're going to do differently.

You put real effort into your workouts. Are your habits before and after training helping you get the most out of that effort? This week, Drew and Paige break down how to arrive fueled and ready, build a strategy that fits the workout, and finish your session with a plan for recovery. From carbs, hydration, and caffeine to warming up with purpose, the conversation connects the details athletes often skip to the training they care so much about.
We also cover fueling for early morning sessions, choosing when to use a primer, learning more from your workout notes, and making post-workout nutrition and hydration work for you. The goal is to build a repeatable routine that helps you perform today, learn from the session, and come back ready tomorrow.

Competition prep isn't just more training. It's a shift in how you train, recover, execute, and think like an athlete. In this episode, Drew and Paige break down how competition prep differs from the offseason, from building volume and intensity through Hell Week to eventually turning that fitness into pacing, strategy, and repeatable execution.
We get into recovery, athlete IQ, competition simulation, movement and strength variance, working around aches and injuries, preparing for known versus unknown events, and why the goal isn't to predict the test. It's to prepare the athlete who has to take it. Colin joins the conversation with questions on programming, standards, weaknesses, damage control, and some of the situations that come up when competition gets close.

The habits that drive progress are often simple. Executing them consistently is the hard part. This week, we explore why that difficulty sends us searching for new diets, supplements, and training programs before we’ve given the basics a chance to work.

Starting with nutrition, sleep, and daily routines, we discuss why knowing what to do doesn’t always translate into doing it. Then we bring the conversation into competitive CrossFit: chasing elaborate movements, confusing novelty with progress, and overlooking how much better we can get at foundational skills. We break down why adding complexity can dilute a workout’s stimulus, why elite athletes still hammer the basics, and how thoughtful programming makes a complex sport clearer for the athlete.

The offseason journey comes full circle. Drew, Paige, and Colin explore how accessory work, strength, gymnastics, engine training, intervals, and variance ultimately come together in the metcon, where athlete IQ, strategy, and execution turn fitness into performance.
