THE Thing that Makes the BEST CrossFit Athletes w/ Brent Fikowski

[@wheredothesestairsgo]

Really glad Brent said that pacing is something that can be taught. Writing up “what it takes” as an abstract quality that you either have or you don’t is a cop out that conveniently justifies inadequate teaching and coaching. Great interview. Thank you TTT.

Very Interesting conversation around pain tolerance. I am not an expert by any means compared to you guys but I have found when athletes make the jump from classes to a comp is when they truly understand how much pain they can take and increase that threshold. I have done so many things in a comp that I normally would not do in training which has showed me okay its not I can't do something, I just have to suffer.

I did the exact "counting to 10" thing yesterday deep into a long trail run! 1-10 for every step, really helped.

Example of Crossfit athlete who can suffer: Sam Briggs.

I like that Brent Fikowski guy. I met him once. Yeah. I think he went to the World Games or something. Yeah. I met him. He was doing a workout on the beach. Or something like that.

Fikowski is a big reason a tall telephone pole like myself got into crossfit

The ability to tolerate pain

[@treyvon2121]

We used to call it “going to the well” in running. Is it detrimental to be doing it every day in training sessions? Or do you find that elite athletes can still push themselves to a 10/10 daily and recover

What Brent is describing = Meditation. And that’s why meditation is so important for all aspects in life
