Misfit Podcast

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.

Back-to-back CrossFit Semifinals athlete Lindsey Hoffman joins Drew and Paige to discuss the decade of work behind her rise from affiliate member to elite competitor.

Lindsey shares how she found CrossFit, became a Misfit athlete, transitioned from teaching PE to running Blackfin CrossFit, and finally broke through to the Semifinals after years of steady progress. The conversation explores the confidence she gained from competing at Syndicate Crown and the NorCal Classic, learning to move on from bad events, closing the gap on strength, and why she believes she belongs alongside the best athletes in the sport.

Before the interview, Drew breaks down two common movement faults showing up in the current training phase: making yourself shorter at the catch on the rower and overextending during the back squat. He also shares details on the new Comp Plus weekly coaching calls.
