    New Misfit Affiliate Phase: Phase 1 / Basecamp - E.411

    Phase 1: Basecamp marks the start of the next evolution of Misfit Affiliate. Drew, Hunter, and Paige break down the seven-week phase, including front squats, toes-to-bar, running, and daily conditioning, before digging into the new workout leveling and class plans designed to give coaches more structure without taking the coaching out of their hands. They also explain why Basecamp fits the moment: every athlete is climbing the same mountain, even if they’re starting from a different elevation.

    CrossFit Games Programming Breakdown '26 - E.410

    Drew and Paige break down all 20 events from the 2026 CrossFit Games, examining the movement selection, time domains, workload, strategy, and historical callbacks that shaped the competition. They discuss which events delivered as tests and spectacles, what the programming reveals about the evolution of elite CrossFit athletes, and how accumulated fatigue, adaptability, athlete IQ, mental toughness, and coaching influenced the final standings. Was the 20th-anniversary programming a complete test of fitness, or are Drew and Paige simply too deep in the sport to know what makes good television?

    Makenna Enslin-Mell: The things injuries can't take from you - E.409

    Makenna Enslin-Mell joins the podcast to talk about the two injuries that brought her competitive seasons to an abrupt stop, the identity shift that followed, and what it means to keep showing up when training no longer looks the way it used to. Makenna, Paige, and Drew discuss the emotional reality of injury, rebuilding trust in your body, finding purpose in rehab, and maintaining an athlete mindset through uncertainty. They also dig into delayed gratification, the value of a great training partner, trusting GPP, and why recovery is still training. The work may change, but the athlete is still there.

    Coach Q&A: The Future of Misfit, Why Athletes Fail, Old-School CrossFit, Remote Coaching... E.407

    In this coach-focused Q&A, Drew and Paige answer questions submitted by Misfit Athletics apprenticeship applicants and pull back the curtain on coaching, competing, programming, and the future of Misfit.

    How to Get Stronger in CrossFit: The 4 Athlete Archetypes - E.406

    Getting stronger in CrossFit sounds simple: lift weights, add load, repeat. But athletes rarely get stuck for the same reason. In this episode, Drew and Paige break down four common strength archetypes we see in competitive CrossFit athletes: the GPP monster who hopes the barbell stays light, the naturally strong athlete who moves poorly, the one-rep-max strong athlete who can’t express it in workouts, and the volume monster doing too much to actually adapt. We talk through how to identify where you fit, what kind of training each athlete actually needs, and why the path to getting stronger is not always as simple as doing more heavy lifting. If you’re a coach trying to solve strength problems for your athletes, or an athlete trying to figure out why the barbell still feels like the limiter, this one is for you.

    Kenzie Riley: Still in Game. Motherhood, Masters & gray area between competing and moving on - E.405

    Kenzie Riley is back on the Misfit Podcast to talk about the messy middle between being all-in and being done. She joins Drew and Paige to unpack her return to the Masters competition season, the realities of training inside a packed life, motherhood, imposter syndrome, and why the competitive fire does not disappear just because priorities change. From technical difficulties and bike cool-downs to bigger questions around identity, return on investment, and showing up with whatever time you have, this conversation is a reminder that there is a lot of room between perfect preparation and walking away.

    New Misfit Affiliate Phase: The Compound P.2 - E.404

    In this episode, Drew sits down with Paige Semenza and Hunter Wood to break down The Compound Part 2, Misfit Affiliate’s next seven-week training phase. The crew walks through the bigger picture behind the phase, including heavy back squats and overhead pressing, strict pulling, intentional conditioning, continued running, and the return of Engine Class Sundays. They also dig into the why behind the structure: how affiliate programming can build real strength without losing the conditioning, skill development, and class experience that make CrossFit work. From squat mechanics and strict pull-up progressions to coaching nuance and long-term athlete development, this episode gives coaches and athletes a clear look at what’s coming and how to get the most out of it.
