092 - "I don't want to hurt myself". Yes, we know. Here's how to avoid that.
Saturday, 27 June, 2026
In this episode, David and Jocelyn talk about shifting into summer “running season” after the Open and quarterfinals, why CrossFit training changes with the seasons, and how BRIO keeps things fun and even a bit addictive.We dig more into the results of our experiment with daily WOD posts in order to reduce cherry picking, increase daily engagement, and support consistent attendance.We also go deep on a common comment from new members: "I don't want to hurt myself." A point so obvious it doesn't even need to be stated out loud. And yet..... it gets said up front to us a LOT. So what does a new member actually mean when they feel the need to say this? Do we reduce the risk of injury by avoiding going fast and lifting heavy? Or is that how we just avoid getting FIT? How do the professionals say we should actually reduce our risk of injury?02:24 Running Season Reality Check05:55 We do fitness to have fun11:48 Cherry Picking Explained26:29 Newbies Fear Of Injury28:52 Avoiding Effort Avoids Fitness30:35 How to actually avoid injury41:13 Overscaling And Excess Volume44:01 Acceptable Risk And Real Life49:56 We train for life
