Dialled-in w/ Gabi Migala

We sent Jordan to train with Gabi Migala - 7x CrossFit Games athlete, 2x podium finisher, Nike Athlete, and certified machine - at the WIT x Nike Training Lab.

Safe to say, he got more than he bargained for.
Sorry, Jordan.

But it wasn’t all pain and misery. In between sets, we caught up with Gabi on her comeback from an Achilles rupture, how she’s rebuilding both body and mindset, her goals for the year ahead, and her first impressions of the new Nike Metcon 10.

Gabi: Hi, what’s up?
Jordan: Hey, I’m so sorry I’m running five minutes late.
Gabi: Oh, no worries, I just got here. See you in five.
Jordan: Okay, perfect, I’ll see you soon.

Jordan: Sorry about that. Hi.
Gabi: How are you?
Jordan: I’m very good.
Gabi: I got your bike ready.

Jordan: So how’s recovery going?
Gabi: The strength is coming back, range of motion is coming back. I see progress every week.
Jordan: Well, it certainly looks like you’re coming back stronger. When are you hoping to be competing again?
Gabi: I hope I’m gonna be ready at the beginning of the year. CrossFit season starts in March, so that’s going to be the time when I’m going to be fully back.

Jordan: We’ve got to talk about the Metcon 10. You’ve worn a lot of Metcons over the years, but what makes this one special?
Gabi: I have to say, my first thought when I put the new ones on was that they are so light compared to the Metcon 9s. I think they’re going to be so much better to run with. And look at this new feature (referring to the LACE TUCK), I mean, this is so cute. Look at this!

Jordan: What’s the actual training session today then?
Gabi: It’s going to be mainly upper body focused, but we’re going to do some deadlifts as well.
Jordan: Let’s do it.
Gabi: Let’s go.

Jordan: What kind of workouts do you miss the most at the moment?
Gabi: I miss running so much! I’m so tired of doing ski erg and upper body all the time.

Jordan: Alright Gabi, I’m done. Thanks for having me.

Gabi: I don’t want to upset you… but we have some accessories to do.

Jordan: Oh my God. You’re on your own.
