I had a few things planned that didn’t work out yet but I went through my episode plans and bumped a future episode idea up earlier. I have wanted to have  on the show for his own episode because our paths have crossed at the , WTM, and Spartan New Jersey Ultra!  He seems like a great guy and I wanted to learn more about him, his history of body building, and hear about his performance training. When he became the owner of a gym in Connecticut it gave us all the more reason to have him on the show to hear how things are  going with his big change! , check out , as well as !...

has found a great home at and as many of you know, this was 's first time running it! Episodes with lap by lap pit audio have been a listener favorite feature for the past 8 1/2 years of the show (, , , , etc.) and as soon as  registered for this in November, I knew that we would do it again! In addition to the audio of her experience I also did some interviews with athletes before the race as well as interviews with almost every volunteer on course and some athletes out on course in the middle of the night (1:30am-6am) helping, walking, or running!

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, , ,...

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...

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...

More Episodes

We had yet another MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team athlete on the show, Vivien Tran!

We have been keeping an eye on her as an athlete ever since she joined their team and we have not been disappointed.  Some accomplishments are winning a Savage Race Axe, a Spartan Race, doing well in the Spartan US National Series, and achieving podium placements at many local events such as Abominable Snow Race, Mythic Race, and this weekend's ASCO Spartacus Dash!

We discussed how she found the sport, thoughts on the rest of the women's field, her experience in the sport so far, what she has planned for the rest of the year, the perks of being on a pro team, and much more!

Follow along with her via Facebook or Instagram!
