This week, we went over to CrossFit Invictus in downtown San Diego to meet up with some of the very best athletes in the world. This week\\u2019s six-for-one special includes insights from four Games competitors and two Invictus coaches about what it takes to go from great to the greatest.

In our first segment, we talk to training partners Garret Fisher and Holden Rethwill about how their workout styles compliment each other, how they train for such an unpredictable athletic event, and how to know when it\\u2019s truly time to give their bodies a rest.

Next up, we talk to weightlifters and Games competitors Maddy Myers and Lauren Fisher about the challenges they face as dual-discipline athletes, how they\\u2019ll decide when it\\u2019s time to specialize, and what it\\u2019s like to enter this field as new athletes\\u2013\\u2013only to discover you\\u2019re the best in the world.

We round the conversation out with the coaches who got them this far, CJ Martin and Tino Marini. CJ\\u2019s trained over 40 individual athletes to Games, and Tino\\u2019s coached alongside him since 2012. We talk to them about these four athletes, and what makes them stand apart from even the most elite in the field.

Enjoy the show!
