Ep.118: Too Much Gainz For Your Own Good Oct 08, 2015

Show notes

Who doesn't love a classic J&C Q&A? Because we sure do! But first thing's first: Joy watched the Froning movie (swoon), and if you're looking for a quick shot of CrossFit Kool-aid, you might want to watch it too. Then it's back to the basics with our favorite pieces of game-changing CrossFit gear and a recap of our workouts from the past week (ok, Joy's workouts and Claire's dreams about workouts). We also chat about clean & jerk PRs and what happens if you suddenly realize your gainz are getting a little too... gainzey. Is that a word? Well, it is now. Just go with it.

Ep.114: CrossFit Lessons Sep 10, 2015

Show notes

This episode is a little bit of a love letter to CrossFit. But we don't love to WOD because we love burpees, or hand rips, or being so sore we can barely walk (although we do kind of love those things, let's be honest). It's because there's something about this crazy sport that teaches us about ourselves and the world around us in a way that nothing else can. So this week we talk about what CrossFit has taught us, and learn the things that CrossFit has taught our listeners, too. Oh, and it's JOY'S BIRTHDAY!!! So we obviously talk about that, too. Yay CrossFit and Happy Birthday Joy!! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Ep.113: So Long, Summer Sep 03, 2015

Show notes

Ok, so summer isn't officially over yet, but with the start of September we can't help but start thinking about fall! Fall means boots, scarves, pink glitter trench coats (ok, maybe that's just Joy), and being able to run outside during a WOD without getting heat stroke... what's not to love? But sometimes the transition into cooler weather can mean watching your motivation cool off a little bit, too. So in this episode we talk about our strategies for staying motivated as the seasons change and set some goals for the next few months, plus hear about Joy's muscle-up journey and Claire's continuing adventures with preggo CrossFitting.

Ep.112: Hoarders & Half Marathons Aug 27, 2015

Show notes

It seems like it's been forever since we had a good gab sesh, so this week it's time to play catch-up with our lives! Claire is finally moved in to her new apartment (mostly), Joy is mourning the fact that she chose a vacation to Hawaii over Taylor Swift tickets (SUCH a hard life!), and we finally hear the John Hay croissant story. This episode is also chock-full of tips for pacing, our favorite and least favorite benchmark WODs, recommendations for weightlifting belts, and lots of tangents. As always, because that's why you love us. Right? Ok great. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Ep.111: Emily Abbott Aug 20, 2015

Show notes

Emily Abbott is a 2-time CrossFit Games competitor from Calgary, and it was love at first sight when we saw her walk onto the floor at the Games! Maybe it's her red hair, the abundance of Instagram pics of her in viking costumes, or maybe it's the fact that her intense work ethic radiates off her from a mile away. Either way, we are thrilled to have her on the podcast this week! We ask Emily all about how she got into CrossFit, what it's like to compete in Carson, and how she went from 35th place at the 2014 Games to a Top 10 finish in 2015. Hint: Pizza, ice cream, and going commando might be factors. Just saying. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Ep.110: Steph the Hammer Aug 13, 2015

Show notes

Steph "the Hammer" Hammerman is the world's first CFL2 with Cerebral Palsy, a founding member of a group of adaptive CrossFit athletes known as the "Wheelchair Gang," and basically an all-around badass. And we could not be more excited to get to chat with her this week! Everyone who has met Steph will tell you she is known for her outgoing attitude, her brutal WODs, and her ability to call you out on your BS... which may or may not happen a few times on this episode, as a matter of fact! We also talk about how CrossFit has helped Steph redefine her mission to bring athletics to the adaptive community, her best tips for new CrossFitters, her advice for coaching adaptive athletes, and why showing up every day with an Rx effort is more important than "Rx-ing" a WOD could ever be.

Ep.109: Juli Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook Aug 06, 2015

Show notes

How do we love Juli Bauer... Let us count the ways! Juli is back this week to talk about her new cookbook, Juli Bauer's Paleo Cookbook! She says that if her first cookbook was her high school diploma, and her second cookbook was her college degree, then this one is her Master's thesis. But writing a cookbook isn't all frosting samples and bloody mary tastings, and she lets us in on the behind-the-scenes details of what it's really like to spend a year pouring your heart into a project like this one. And of course, we can't help but catch up on Juli's life, upcoming wedding plans, her new house, and find out her pick for the best margaritas in Denver!

Ep.108: 2015 Crossfit Games Jul 30, 2015

Show notes

Spandex, peg boards, ice cream sandwiches, and Julie Foucher... CrossFitLand was everything we hoped it would be and more, and we might be in denial that it's over. This week we recap our awesome experience at the 2015 CrossFit Games, complete with a rundown of CF celebs we rubbed elbows with, and a certain CF celeb who we maybe just took a creepy picture of the back of his head a instead. We also chat a bit about the decision to program "Murph" in the middle of the summer SoCal heat, and what elements like the peg board represent for CrossFit athletes everywhere. Now, who's ready for the 2016 Games?! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Ep.107: Headed to the Games! Jul 23, 2015

Show notes

It's time to catch up on Joy and Claire's lives--and oh who am I kidding... Have you heard?? Ohmygosh ohmygosh... We're headed to the CrossFit Games this week and we might be just a TINY bit excited! This week we do hear a little bit about Claire's epic battle with the stomach flu on moving day, and Joy's escapades on Emmy night. But for the most part we talk about what we're going to do (and Bob Harper) and who we're going to meet (and Bob Harper) and what we're going to buy (and... ok, Joy, it's time to move on from Bob Harper now...) at the CrossFit Games this weekend! We can't frickin wait and we hope to see you there if you're going to be in Carson! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Ep.106: Carrots ‘N’ Cake Interview Jul 16, 2015

Show notes

This week we are joined by one of our favorite fitness bloggers, Tina from Carrots 'N Cake! Tina is a CrossFitter, distance runner, and new mom, who somehow also finds time for boot camp and even Soul Cycle (much to Joy's excitement). This gal does it all, and we couldn't be more excited to get to know her better this week! In this episode, Tina shares her tips for balancing her crazy schedule with the realities of trying to keep a healthy lifestyle, plus answers to all of your questions about fueling for long runs vs. WODs, her upcoming fitness goals, and even some tips for learning to love running. And of course, Mean Girls quotes and even a few #marriagehacks!
