James explains why many people have the wrong idea about CrossFit, how you can spot good coaches from the bad, how he structures his workouts, the hardest workout he’s ever done, how his training has changed since he started CrossFit, the things he does to recover from intense workouts, his thoughts on improving the image of the sport and lots more.
