Today we talk about some of the changes that we are noticing within the programming of CrossFit competitions and what that means for athletes going into the CrossFit open with hopes of qualifying for Quarter Finals and Semi-Finals.

Where should athletes be placing their focus when it comes to training and preparing for the Open? All of this is discussed at length between Coach Jay and Coach Tommy.

Today's episode is a discussion around the practical application of VO2Max test results in programming. This is an incredibly valuable test when it comes to understanding the limitations of an athlete with regard to energy systems. If you know how to interpret the results of a VO2Max test, then you are able to very specifically manipulate an athletes training to increase their ability to sustain long duration efforts at a maximal pace, which for the sport of CrossFit is ideal.

We hope you get a lot out of this episode, and as always.
