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 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.

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!

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...
info_outlineIt's that time for New England to get savage again! Mike woke at 6:15am and drove to Carter and Stevens Farm in Barre, MA to cover the Savage Race Boston and as always he didn't regret it!
He interviewed a bunch of elite athletes as well as the vendors who were there to support the event! Savage Race has been one of our favorite OCRs since before they even came to New England with us only missing their 2021 and 2023 events. After doing interviews, Mike went out to do the Blitz course for a sweet green medal!
