In this Q&A-packed episode of The Misfit Podcast, Drew and Paige answer questions straight from the Misfit community—starting with Telegram, then social media, and beyond.

They dive into how to balance training with online qualifiers, when Zone 2 work actually matters, and why competition exposure is essential at every stage of an athlete’s journey. The conversation also covers mindset traps like over-analysis, when work ethic becomes a liability, and how to trust the process without losing self-awareness.

You’ll hear practical advice on nutrition, recovery, and long-term progression, plus insights for affiliate athletes looking to improve their health beyond just “working out.” The episode wraps with tips on skill development (including handstand walks and bar muscle-ups) and a reminder that consistency beats intensity when it comes to real progress.

Whether you’re training for competition, getting back into functional fitness, or just trying to move better and feel stronger, this episode delivers actionable guidance with Misfit’s trademark honesty and edge.

• Pacing vs. gamifying workouts

• The value of competition exposure
• Over-analysis, self-regulation, and trusting the process
