If it's happened in CrossFit, chances are Rory McKernan was there. From seminar staff to HQ to anchorman Rory has done it all, not to mention penning a book, working with a global fitness brand and now taking up the torch at Mayhem along side Rich Froning. 

Nathan Bird and I fly through his journey into coaching from when he first ventured into the local tennis club to flying the nest to the Middle East and beyond. Nathan has many feathers in his cap, not least the experience he has amassed and the athletes he has worked with. Nathan answered all the listener questions in typical unflappable fashion and some of his answers might ruffle a few feathers. Think that’s all the bird puns I can comfortably fit in. 

Rob Lawson of CrossFit Aberdeen, HQ Seminar Staff and Regionals and Rogue Invitational fame chats about everything from tea, coffee, engineering and rugby to CrossFit, the Invitational and how he singlehandedly brought about the end of Regionals.

Chris Hinshaw, of Aerobic Capacity, drops in to talk about, well, aerobic capacity and how to improve it. 

Phil Hesketh chats about programming for athletes both elite and scaled as well as for Sanctional events in Norway and Egypt. We also chat about going to the Games as an individual in 2015 and on a team last time out.
