    Proving Grounds: The Last Dance & The New Partner

    For two years, Archie Reid and Fraser Clark were the undisputed kings of Proving Grounds, Scotland's toughest CrossFit competition. Their partnership was forged in the gym and proven unbeatable on the competition floor. But this year, everything changes. In this episode, we sit down with the duo to tell the full story. Fraser reveals the emotional decision to step back into a coaching role, while Archie opens up about the pressure of defending the title with a new partner—his former rival, Johnny Bichan. We break down the arguments, the hilarious "war stories," and the unfiltered reality of what it takes to build—and transition—a championship team. Plus, they share essential, hard-won advice for any athlete competing at Proving Grounds next week. This isn't just a pre-competition chat; it's the story of the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter.

    British Teen Championships: How We Built 4 Podium Athletes From The Ground Up

    Raw talent is worthless without strategy. On the competition floor, teenagers with potential get crushed by teenagers with a plan. Coach Pete Crudge was on the ground at the British Teen Champs and saw exactly what separates the podium from the pack. In this debrief, we're not just celebrating wins; we're dissecting the system. Learn the specific strategies that turned Ben Milner into a pacing machine, how we made Seb Ellis's "weakness" his strengths, and the single biggest lesson every aspiring athlete (and their parents) needs to hear to stop wasting time and start winning.

    E20: Team vs Individual?!

    At JST, we strive to empower and motivate athletes on their journey towards achieving personal excellence. In this podcast episode, Mitch, Philroy, Kirstin, and Alex delve into the topic of team versus individual training. They explore whether athletes should prioritise team performance as much as their individual success, and what inspires them to bring out their best in either setting. As these four athletes gear up for the upcoming CrossFit Games season as a team, they emphasize the importance of supporting each other and inspiring the wider JST community. Rather than fixating on outcomes, they focus on the process of continual improvement. ---------------- Sign up for JST Athlete Trial week (Access All Areas - 30+ programs) - https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthlete JST Train | Class program sample week: https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTTrainc...

    Organising training to maximise your program

    We've had quite a few questions recently about training organisation. Which bits should you do in the program? Do you do everything? Do you pick and choose bits? What is the best thing for you to do to help you get the most out of the program? ---------------- Sign up to JST Athlete (Access All Areas - 30+ programs) - https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthlete JST Athlete sample week: https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthlet...
