Emma Lawson just finished 24th in North America during the Quarter-Final stage of this year's CrossFit Games. She has a level of fitness, in the broadest sense of the word, that most of us could not dream of a 16 year old having and she is not even close to peaking at what she is capable of in the sport of CrossFit. Emma joined us to talk her start in CrossFit, how she balances training with school and gives us an insight into how disciplined and relaxed she manages to be at the same time. Inspirational!

Cedric was one of the standout stars of this year's QF stage of the CrossFit Games and is, clearly, one of the nicest and most conversational stars in the making when it comes to the people-facing side of the sport.  We discussed his fortitude in choosing to do all of the QF events quickly last weekend (so he could head for a fishing trip), how he found the sport of Fitness and his love for country music and the UK television show, Love Island. Well worth a listen!

Mike Catris is a CrossFitter and a sports minded business entrepreneur. As the man behind Kratos nutrition and The Athlete Programme, we had lots to talk about, but to be honest we focussed on how nutrition needs to become more central to our culture and the upcoming season for The Athlete Programme. It promises to be a big one.
