More Episodes

There was the final race in the Spartan USNS Series but there was also an athlete who ran Savage Chicago who I wanted to have on the show. Mike put it up as a poll and Savage won with 62% (67% at the time he reached out)!

Due to this Katelyn reached out and interviewed Kaeley Wynsma who just won Savage Chicago! You may be familiar with Kaeley's name due to us reading podium results in quick news and honestly this was a big factor in wanting to have her on the show. Technically we interviewed her briefly at the Palmerton 3K Spartan series race but she seemed like she deserved her own episode!

We talk about her being a role model to her family and other women in sports, winning Savage Chicago, her gym Transform Fitness Studio, how you can take advantage of her fitness and nutrition coaching, and more!
