441. World's Toughest Mudder in UK Prep with Wil Chung and Fran Chiorando!
Obstacle Running Adventures
is almost upon us ... which is a very strange thing to say in June since it has always been in either December or November! I met last year at WTM and discussed having him on the show to talk about the venue of Belvoir Castle since he has had a lot of experience there as a prominent member of the European TM community! I also wanted to have on as well since she lives with an American and is hyper aware of cultural differences and knows about my interest in trying new snacks! We talk about cultural differences, some slang, travel tips, touristy things to do, food and snacks to try, , ,...

440. Chainsaw Rick on Hildervat, Lionhearts Fitness, Cancer, and More!
Obstacle Running Adventures
We have heard about "" for years but our paths had never crossed before with him mainly racing down south and us primarily running and covering the north. Between him and , we figured that we should go out of our way to change that! We discuss the reason for his nickname, how he found the sport of OCR, his favorite moments in the sport, how has changed over the years, his support of and the importance of their work, how he is handling his cancer diagnosis and much more! If you're in the area, and/or ! Start – 5:00 – Intro 5:00 – 13:11 – Quick News 13:11 – 13:52 – Content...

439. OCR Podcast Eulogy: Remembering the Dead Podcasts of Our Sport!
Obstacle Running Adventures
We have done OCR eulogy episodes in the past but never a eulogy episode on OCR podcasts! Mike used his first hand experience, , and his own podcast app to find as many podcasts as he could find whether dead or alive. He compiled the show names, descriptions, hosts, how many episodes released, date range of the show, and personal thoughts and experiences where applicable! There are well over 50 OCR podcasts discussed but apologies if we missed some. We are a 2 person team and this took a pretty decent amount of time to put together. See the shows mentioned in the time stamps...

438. World's Toughest Mudder First Timer Questions with Josh Fiore!
Obstacle Running Adventures
With World's Toughest Mudder coming up soon and it being both the first time the event is taking place in Europe as well as Katelyn's first time tackling the event herself, we figured it would be a good time to both selflessly and selfishly have an episode focused on first timer questions! Josh Fiore had been answering first timer questions on the WTM First Timer facebook group so we figured that he would be a great guest due to him being knowledgeable and has shown to take time out of his day to try to help those who are preparing to take on this ultra OCR! Josh shares his experinces and...

437. Sabrina Buhagiar on the Spartan US National Series and Preparing for Spartan Ultra and Trifecta World Championships!
Obstacle Running Adventures
We admittedly haven't had any episodes covering the US Spartan National so far this year so we looked at the third of four series races which took place in Big Bear and decided to change that! Mike first met when doing , he saw her again preparing before we started the Spartan New Jersey Ultra last month! When he saw that she took a podium finish at a Spartan Series race he reached out to have her on the show to be a guest via an interview. We discuss her athletic background being swimming, how she found the sport of obstacle course racing, how this and the previous two series races...

436. Charity Borne on Hybrid Racing, Inspiring Siblings, and Winning Toughest Mudder Atlanta!
Obstacle Running Adventures
A benefit to reviewing the podiums for a variety of races during quick news each week is that is helps us keep a finger on the pulse of the change in the elite field in the sport! A name that has popped up more frequently and especially recently with the Toughest Mudder Atlanta win was so we reached out to have her on the show and learn more about her! Hear us discuss her being one of 11 kids, her brief background in track, how she found OCR, her love for CrossFit and hybrid racing, her domination with Toughest Mudder, thoughts on WTM and more! Start – 3:30 – Intro 3:30 – 10:10 –...

435. Joe Rucco on Hybrid Racing, Winning Toughest Mudder Atlanta, and More!
Obstacle Running Adventures
When Mike was preparing to run his first Spartan Ultra he reached out to some elites to see who else would be there. Joe Rucco explained that he was going to miss it in order to take on Toughest Mudder Atlanta ... well, he won it! We have had him on the show a few times in the past ranging from to and but we never had him on for his own episode so we reached out to change that! You'll hear him talk about how he found the sport back in 2012, his love for both hybrid racing and OCR, how he balances his family life and training, winning Toughest Mudder Atlanta, a slight injury he...

434. Mike's First DNF and reRUN of 17. Tri-State Spartan Ultra Beast and Tri-State Spartan Beast!
Obstacle Running Adventures
Part of being a weekly podcast and playing the role of media in a sport means that your own athletic goals need to be put more in the background ( doing , recording and producing , heading , etc.). That being said, there are still a couple challenges left that Mike has been wanting to take on in the sport of OCR. One of them being wanting to try a Spartan Ultra Beast for the past 8 years, now just called the Spartan Ultra. Katelyn wanted to do an episode interviewing Mike about his first Spartan Ultra experience, he figured that it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting as him doing...
info_outlineBack in the day Spartan Stadium races were our favorite to both run and cover as media. We remember seeing a large man in a clown mask doing well at most of the events that we went to. Over more recent years Kevin Gregory/Bubbles the Clowne has grown to be even more of a threat in the hybrid racing scene!
Kevin has also become a friend of the show, as well as Mike's coach for about a year. Mike vowed that his first hybrid fitness race would be at his gym Underdog Fitness in Wallingford, CT! It took a while to get a date to fit in the schedule but Katelyn and Mike took it on despite Mike being pretty nervous (I am not a strong man) and having back issues (likely a weak core), and Katelyn waking up sick on Friday.
You'll hear from David Rundio, Kristine Pavelchak, Robert Landman, Ashley Harten, Lauren Carlson, Melinda Noel, Michael Racine, Greg Viggiano, Katelyn Ritter, ?, Heather Dall'Aste, Elizabeth Almansa, Kelly Sullivan, Taylor Febus, Mike Tubiak, Lisa Wawrzynowski, Kiefer Callisto, Amber Tait, Alexander Golik, Jess Gregory, Zack Tait, and Kevin Gregory!
