How To Balance Being An Elite Crossfit Athlete While Working In ITU - Dr Carys Webster

The Progress Theory is back with more legends. This time we catch up with medical Dr and elite CrossFit athlete Dr Carys Webster. I’ve been following Carys on Instagram for a while and I’ve always been so curious how she manages to balance 12 hour shifts at the hospital and training at the elite level in Crossfit, all the while studying for a Masters in Sports and Exercise Medicine. I had to get her on The Progress Theory to find how she does it, particularly as she’s continually improving as an athlete and challenging the podium against other athletes who train full time.

In this episode we discuss:

· Carys’s background in sport and how she got into Crossfit

· Her goals as a competitive CrossFit athlete

· How she has managed to balance training while working long shifts in ITU? How she manages her week.

· What changes have been made to her training during the global pandemic

· Her training and how she’s developed with her coaching team @redpill_training

· Her interest in Exercise Physiology, which led her to start her own blog. And how she uses the blog to further her passion for exercise physiology and provide some clarity on the misinformation of training content that is out on social media

· Why she started an MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine and how she is using further education and her experiences to further her medical career.
