Late listening to this, but glad I found your podcast. I have been following Crossfit for 3 years as a fan and a month ago, joined a box. I am so incredibly excited to be a part of what I have loved to follow for so long. Thanks for sharing. The change in my nutrition and workouts have been a world of change. I am coming from a couple days a week in the gym and a couple days a week trail running and lost my love of road running completely and needed this change. It has mentally been the best thing for me and I am winning physically too!
This is such a good interview that shows so much about Sara. I've always loved her because she looks so honest and transparent, but now I love her even more.
Great podcast again Julie!!! I really like Sara and I think she's so motivating for all us mere mortals. She proves to everyone that regardless of our past, with hard work no obstacle is impossible.
Ok, Sara now is the time to carve your name in the history of CrossFit. Thank you Dr. Couched for bringing Sara to us she is such a normal person in a super star of the sport of fitness body!
Outstanding interview. Thank you! Sara is excellent. Can imagine what will happen the day everything aligns for her. She will rock the games. Super strong athlete-all around.
Great interview with Sara. I've always been a huge fan of hers. My wife wanted to be but she (my wife) couldn't stand her coach and thought he was such a jerk from the content you saw him in. Not that Sara sees him that way but at any rate the toxic vibes were coming through. The Mayhem team is a real inspiration in how to work hard and approach life. I'm glad Sara had the grit and tenacity to assess her life and make the changes she needs to get where she wants to be, including happiness. She's going to be a force this year.
#433 Thumbs-Up I am. 😀 She SO beautiful & has SUCH a fun voice! I STILL hope that one day someone with a really good, genuine script offers her role that will give her a chance on the big screen. Thank You for interviewing her!
Strongman competition is another good sport for Iceland. I think I saw a video of Sara working out with Bjornsson so I'm surprised that didn't come to her. Good content Julie.
Sara has a picture with him in a gym on her Instagram from June 20, 2016. I remember Annie worked out with him too, but maybe there is only the pic of Sara with him.
When I was a young man in the sixties we didn;'t have young people like this. At least I didn't know of many. The world is opening up in so many ways. I hope we can keep progressing but it looks very challenging to me. In 1963 when I was 18 at UF I had a general physical activity course. We started with gymnastics. After a month I tole the coach I wanted to try an Iron Cross on the rings that I had seen one of the gymnastic team members do. He said I was too big but if I wanted to try I could. I did a very decent Iron Cross for about ten secounds and he and another coach were jumping around like it was really special. I was 6'2" and 235 lbs.
Great interview. Most of these (not necessarily yours) are superficial. I feel like I know RSS much better now, a more nuanced view. She is impressive and refreshingly honest and open.
what was the first book? is it "Ronda Rousey: The Inspirational Story of UFC Superstar Ronda Rousey" by Bill Redban, or "My Fight / Your Fight" by Ronda Rousey?? Is the second book is actually "Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life" by William Finnegan instead of Barbarian Surfer??
Awesome podcast with 2 Awesome girls (and athlete). Sara i wish you the Best for this year crossfits game i hope you'll fully enjoy the wezk. You're amazing such an inspiration
Any chance you will have Kelly Starrett on the podcast?? (speaking of mobilitywod which is a complete lifesaver- i'm so glad you partnered with them!!!)
Her first games appearance was just like Rich's and failing on the last event and look what he has done. And now she works out with him. Look out girls. She's coming!
I love cross fit so much more than MMA fights. I just like watching people getting in a great workout like Sara does & feel there motivation,drive & aggressive nature fuel my atmosphere as a challenge to meet. I have researched advanced healing tools for years & truly desire to see pro athletes getting exposure to such advanced recovery healing tools & give feed back like from E.M.S. electrical muscle stimulation, Pulsed Magnetic tools, a multitude for Massage devices & lotions,oils there are healing sound beds called Acoustic Vibration Lounge that helps with all forms of stress. I wish Cross fit be raised by the public support system by Boy's & Girls clubs, Gym's, Schools. I have a saying "May America raise it's self buy it's Gym shoe laces at the YMCA" & thus lower Health costs nation wide & receive 5 K after passing a physical exam every 5 years. Money motivates people to stay out of the Medical Doctors Big Pharma Menu board. Ask to see your M.D.s Menu for any illness your being treated for & if He/She askes what you are looking for? Tell them anything on there Menu that appears not to be a Pharmacutical man made synthetic molecular structure made to sell stocks for Drug Alopathic Medical Industry. Massage therapy is the most advanced therapy we all need yet never get. Americans are the most touch deprived people in the world. Stress is death Massage therapy erases all forms for stres that being Physical stress, emotional stress,& environmental stress the toxins we inhale, drink, eat & use in Laundry detergents & all such chemical exposure as well as toxic people, work, jobs,etc. Massage the ones you love. Amen, make it so!
I love it. She's just a regular person like me. She worked hard and made it. Couch then hard work then success. And Julie Foucher....such class.
Sara is amazing, kind and deserves all the success she can get. She is a perfect role model. Loved watching this interview!
this was such a good insight into Sara... i'm so glad you had her on the podcast.

Strongman competition is another good sport for Iceland. I think I saw a video of Sara working out with Bjornsson so I'm surprised that didn't come to her. Good content Julie.
Ruza Roos that was Annie Thorisdottir working out with Bjorgvin K. Guodmunddson.
Sara has a picture with him in a gym on her Instagram from June 20, 2016. I remember Annie worked out with him too, but maybe there is only the pic of Sara with him.
Strongman is a niche sport, just like crossfit, so maybe she was thinking more a long the line of traditional sports, like soccer and gymnastics.
I was also wondering why she didn't think of him.
Loved this!
Ain't nothing sexier then a woman that knows what she wants in life! I wish you all the best on achieving it Sara!
Contrary to the most podcasts, these are exciting from start to beginning.
When I was a young man in the sixties we didn;'t have young people like this. At least I didn't know of many. The world is opening up in so many ways. I hope we can keep progressing but it looks very challenging to me. In 1963 when I was 18 at UF I had a general physical activity course. We started with gymnastics.

Best episode! I hope that Sara will win the games!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
Love her... hope she wins this year
Wow Sara is a sweetheart. I always pictured her bring more like Ivan Drago lol. I apologize for that. I'm rooting for her this year though
Great interview. Most of these (not necessarily yours) are superficial. I feel like I know RSS much better now, a more nuanced view. She is impressive and refreshingly honest and open.
Sara talks about food in every interview LOL
HyO Startup Haha she does!
Sara FoodLoverDottir.
Dont leave from USA. Stay there. If you are happy and wake up every day excited stay there Sara.
Great interview. Thought you asked Sara great questions too.
what was the first book? is it "Ronda Rousey: The Inspirational Story of UFC Superstar Ronda Rousey" by Bill Redban, or "My Fight / Your Fight" by Ronda Rousey?? Is the second book is actually "Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life" by William Finnegan instead of Barbarian Surfer??
Awesome podcast with 2 Awesome girls (and athlete).
Sara i wish you the Best for this year crossfits game i hope you'll fully enjoy the wezk. You're amazing such an inspiration
Sara is awesome! She's to close to win the Games.
I just noticed there were no comments about that huge fan! So there it is.
2017 fittest woman on earth right here!!!
great podcast, favourite woman in crossfit 💪🏻😆
She is so beautiful 😍
Any chance you will have Kelly Starrett on the podcast?? (speaking of mobilitywod which is a complete lifesaver- i'm so glad you partnered with them!!!)
Lol at the half eaten apple just hanging around in the back ground
Most beautiful woman on earth
What is the brand of the relax chairs?
Normatec I think
Her first games appearance was just like Rich's and failing on the last event and look what he has done. And now she works out with him. Look out girls. She's coming!
"I feel like all I do is train and eat" Preach it, sister!
I find it unbelievable that you still have to explain the fast forward concept in 2017 to those who complain about sponsorship content.
Love her
so cute when she says "exaggerates "
Here is another specialist that you could invite to your show: a sports psychology expert. 35:12
👍🏻💪🏻💯
Sara and a little extra motivation at the games. Look out ladies.

Audiobooks help me to get to sleep. Because your listening your not thinking.
agreed - i go to sleep to audible book every night and no longer lay in bed struggling to fall asleep
Speed skating is dominated a lot by Dutch people just like a lot of Icelandic personalities dominate CrossFit
I'd marry Sara in a heartbeat
Sara, add this to your book list ... Bible. Maybe ask Rich Froning about it.
How big is that fan in the back, holy shit
Screw You Google That fan is made by the Big Ass Fan company. They make fans with radius's of 10'-30'. They're incredible. You can find them online.
