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, , ,...

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...

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...
info_outlineThis is a long episode but it is one full of crazy experiences. We were fortunate enough to make it to World's Toughest Mudder for the first time which is also the last year it will be in Vegas! Alex survived and beat his goal but suffered immensely during the final hours of the 24 hour race! Special thanks to the New England Spahtens for their help in the pit and on the course!
Lura and Mike completed the Rock N Roll Half Marathon on the Las Vegas Strip, both Kay and Shae ran the Mattapoisett 5k, and John participated in the YMCA Turkey Trot 5 Miler! Be sure to listen to the end to hear how everyone did!
Next weekend we will be at:
Newburyport Harborside Half Maratbon in Newburyport, MA
