342. Spartan Poconos 3K Audio and Interviews with Elites!
July 24, 2023 00:04 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBMike and Katelyn took the drive down to Palmerton, Pennsylvania to cover the most stacked Spartan race that they have ever been to (also to visit Scranton which The Office was based on)! This was also the first time meeting a lot of these Spartan athletes and staff as well which was great because the big series races don't come to the northeast like they used to. Check below to see what athletes we had on the show and around what time to find them! 0:00 – 2:57 – Intro 2:57 – 9:53 – Qu...
341. Noah Buschur on Ninja, Horses, Edaphoecotropism, and Savage Race Chicago!
July 18, 2023 00:52 - 55 minutes - 38 MBLast weekend was the Savage Chicago Point Series Race and there was a face on the podium that we (and likely many others) did not recognize! Noah Buschur was the athlete to place 3rd behind Shawn Roberts and Ryan Kempson! Not only is he talented in OCR (and making us feel old), but he is also an artist, ninja, and has experience with mini horses! 0:00 – 4:38 – Intro 4:38 – 14:25 – Quick News 14:25 – 15:00 – Content Preface 15:00 - 51:04 - Noah Buschur Interview 51:04 - End – Out...
340. Save Monadnock Ninja with James Golisano!
July 10, 2023 01:37 - 54 minutes - 37.7 MBA couple weeks ago we mentioned it on quick news but since James Golisano is a good friend of the show we figured we would have him on to talk about his Go Fund Me. This isn't something we do often but we figured that it'd be a good way and try to help! James opened up Monadnock Ninja back in 2020 and helped form a local community of youth ninjas. With very little notice he was told that the building that he had been renting was going to be sold so him and his equiptment don't really ha...
339. Newbsanity's Last Man Standing with Esther Frustino!
July 03, 2023 01:57 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MBAny longtime listener knows how much we value local OCR. One of our favorite event organizers in the northeast is Newbsanity due to the incredible community that they have built up and the fact that it is one of the best permanent courses that we have ever experienced in our years in the sport. Newbsanity put on their first Last Man Standing event and we had Esther Frustino on the show to talk about how she tied for first place woman! 0:00 – 4:18 – Intro 4:18 – 8:04 – Quick News 8:0...
338. Kaci Monroe on Grit, Spartan Race Changes, and Savage Race Ohio!
June 27, 2023 02:59 - 1 hour - 47.9 MBWe had Kaci Monroe on the show to talk about her previous experience with Spartan Race, her recent podium at a Savage Point Series Race, and much more! Kaci is someone who we have wanted to have on the show for a few years now. We are a weekly show so there are only 52 episodes in a year which sounds like a lot but isn't that many when you see how we plan out our year of coverage with all the events we cover. We had a weekend prepared for a Savage Ohio finisher and Kaci placed 2nd which...
337. OCR European Championships with Jesse de Heer!
June 19, 2023 01:30 - 1 hour - 45.7 MBLast weekend was massive for the sport of OCR in Europe! There was both Spartan European Championship as well as OCR European Championships. We followed the latter more closely and were excited to find a guest to come on the show and talk about it. Jesse de Heer finished first for the short course, second on the standard course, and his team Hang On placed first for the men's relay race! Having a pretty excellent finish in all events we figured that he would be a great guest to have on ...
336. Annie Dube on Making the Jump to Elite, Spartan 3K Thoughts, and Her First Savage Race!
June 12, 2023 01:01 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBAnnie Dube was frequently found on the podium in some pretty big events, and is still a member of the OCR Dream Team. Unfortunately with Spartan Race drastically changing the format of their series we have been robbed from seeing her and many other athletes compete lately. She did jump into her first Savage Race in Charlotte, NC last weekend and won by about 8 minutes so we had her on to discuss her experience with a different race series. We also talk about when athletes should make the...
335. Goliathon with Winner Isaac Waychoff!
June 06, 2023 03:28 - 1 hour - 43.2 MBThere are a lot of incredible events that don’t get the love they deserve, I would put Goliathon towards the top of that list. We weren’t able to go down to the event due to the aforementioned house construction but I looked through the results for a potential guest. I saw that there was only one athlete who reached the status of David this year (which is a pretty damn big deal). Isaac Waychoff was that athlete so I reached out to him about coming on the show! It was great hearing abou...
334. Rose Wetzel on Longevity in Sport, Being a Mother, Spartan Big Bear 3K, and More!
May 30, 2023 01:48 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBGoing back towards the beginning of the sport Rose Wetzel was often seen on the podiums, fast forward a decade to now and Rose continues to be competitive in the elite field! We have had her on the show a few times before for NorAM and OCRWC finish line interviews but it's easy to say that she very much deserved her own episode! We discuss what it has been like seeing the sport change over the years, what keeps her involved in OCR, the balance of being both a mother and an athlete, thoug...
333. Maryland Savage Point Series Race with Jordan McDougal!
May 24, 2023 00:35 - 41 minutes - 28.4 MBThis was a huge weekend for elite OCR athletes! Savage Race Maryland (live stream here) and Spartan Big Bear 3K (live stream here) both happened, and there was no shortage of athletes to talk to. This week we decided to have Jordan McDougal on the show to talk about his experience at the Maryland Savage Race which is the third of their point series! Jordan is someone whose name we recognized from reading podiums over the years and we were grateful to have him on the show to learn more a...
332. USAOCR with Ian Hosek!
May 15, 2023 01:55 - 47 minutes - 32.7 MBThere has been a big charge by USAOCR in getting a team together for the potential World Obstacle Championship being put on in Belgium later this year! Due to this, they reached out asking to come on the show and talk about it. As media we try to stay up to date with what is going on in our niche sport. Unfortunately USAOCR has been a bit of a blind spot in our knowledge so this was a helpful interview with Ian Hosek for ourselves as well in learning what is going on, why it's happening,...
331. Cairn University's Highlander Mudder with Dave Willard!
May 08, 2023 05:43 - 50 minutes - 34.6 MBKatelyn and I (Mike) first got into OCR back when we were in college and would have loved an event on our campus! That's what Cairn University is doing with their Highlander Mudder event that they had a couple weekends ago. We reached out to Dave Willard who is the Director of Partnerships for the college and who helped put the event together. We discuss what they learned about event planning when it comes to OCR, where they got their scoring system from, thoughts on the future of the ev...
330. Tri-State Spartan Super and More with Chris Marrone!
April 30, 2023 23:36 - 54 minutes - 37.7 MBThis weekend was New Jersey's Spartan Tri-State weekend! Mike inititally didn't recognize many of the names of the athletes on the podium from Saturday's Spartan Super but then realized that the first place finisher Chris Marrone was the winner of the Spartan 3K test event in Jacksonville! He was brought up during two recent interviews (our episode with Brett Milks on that test event as well as last episode with Adam Beach) so I had a feeling he would be someone we should have on the sh...
329. Spartan Palm Beach 3K Elite Series Race with Adam Beach!
April 25, 2023 02:07 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBThe first Spartan 3K series race was this weekend, if you missed it then be sure to watch the live stream here! We had an episode previously with Brett Milks after the 3K test event in Jacksonville and it was the first time that we have started to feel optimistic about Spartan Race making this format change. Mike was sure to tune in to the live broadcast and asked Adam Beach to come on the show to talk about his experience and thoughts on the new series! 0:00 – 3:15 – Intro 3:15 – 1...
328. The Final FIT Challenge OCR with Elites, Ultras, and More!
April 17, 2023 04:12 - 1 hour - 75.8 MBFIT Challenge has been putting on obstacle course races since 2013 and we have been to almost every single one of them over the years (we just missed the very first one and the one during the extreme heat wave the summer of 2019)! Unfortunately that all comes to an end after this past weekend since it was their final event. It is the death of the most important New England local OCR that we have had and it also has some backing of that fact with it winning the best small OCR event just ab...
327. Gainesville Savage Point Series Race with Ryan Kempson!
April 10, 2023 02:34 - 1 hour - 60 MBThe second Savage Point Series race happened this weekend, if you missed it then watch the live stream here! We had Ryan Kempson reach out to us about wanting to come on the show and then realized that despite him being featured in 11 different episodes with in person interviews, he has never had an episode of his own! We have been big fans of both Kempson brothers with them being from New England and genuinely being down to earth people so this is making up for lost time. Ryan won the ...
236. Des Linden and Her New Book "Choosing to Run"!
April 03, 2023 00:00 - 40 minutes - 27.7 MBA few months ago we mentioned Des Linden's book "Choosing to Run" being available on preorder in quick news. We were sent an advanced copy of the book back in February and we really enjoyed it! We were also given the chance to have Des on the show to talk about it. This is technically our second time having her on the show but last time was just for a few minutes when we covered the Falmouth Road Race. This time we talk about her feelings of having the book being ready to be sent to...
325. Georgia Savage Point Series Race with Jamie Horianopoulos!
March 28, 2023 02:32 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MBThe first of the Savage Race point series races took place in Georgia, if you missed it then you can watch the live stream footage here! This was a great opportunity to have Jamie Horianopoulos on the show for her own episode! She won a boatload of axes by winning Savage Races last year and she took third at the first race of the series this past weekend. She got her start in the sport with Savage and has been running their events for years! 0:00 – 3:33 – Intro 3:33 – 10:04 – Quick N...
324. Savage Race Point Series Hype with Lee Stowell!
March 20, 2023 02:10 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBWith the second ever Savage Race Point Series having its start right around the corner we wanted to have a member of the event team to build up some anticipation for it! Luckily Lee Stowell was the man for the job! We talk about his background in the sport (which involves working for Battlefrog, Bonefrog, and even Frontline OCR), the changes made to the point series, how the team is dealing with criticism on their new obstacles, the balance of course difficulty, plans for the future, and ...
323. The Second New England OCR Expo with Vendors!
March 13, 2023 02:10 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBThe event that we have been talking about for months finally happened and Mike made sure to interview all of the vendors that took the time to come out to it! Katelyn held down the fort at our own vendor table alongside incredible athletes like Javier Escobar, Vanessa Gebhardt, Kelly Sullivan, Cassandra Carroll, Matt Carroll, and Josh Fiore who were guests of ours for the event! 0:00 – 3:25 – Intro 3:25 – 9:15 – Quick News 9:15 – 10:14 – Content Preface 10:14 - 1:15:07 - Expo Inter...
322. Spartan 3K Test Event in Jacksonville with Brett Milks!
March 06, 2023 01:29 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBWe had friend and Patreon supporter of the show Brett Milks on to talk about his experience at the Spartan 3K test event that was held in Jacksonville, Florida! The change of the Spartan series to the 3K format brings a lot of additional changes other than the race distance. There is also a laser pistol obstacle, the events are planned for Fridays, and the prize money has been noticeably cut (the last change was released after the interview). We talk about Brett's thoughts on these chan...
321. Possum Jump Adventures with Tracey Brower!
February 27, 2023 02:04 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBTracy Brower reached out to us asking if we would be interested in having a talk about Adventure Racing. I immediately remembered the excitement that surrounded Ryan Atkins and Rea Kolbl competing in Eco Challenge a few years ago and how humble Coree Woltering was when we met him shortly after the show was released! I was more than happy to give her a spot on the show to talk about the sport of Adventure Racing, the similarities with OCR, and of course the events that she puts on as well!...
320. The Return of the New England OCR Expo with Steve "Bacon" Martin!
February 19, 2023 22:49 - 34 minutes - 24 MBYou've heard us talk about it for a while on the show but now we have an episode that goes into more detail about the New England OCR Expo happening on March 11th! Last time we were just vendors for the event but this year Mike has been on the planning committee working alongside this episode's guest Steve "Bacon" Martin! We genuinely hope to see as many of you awesome people as possible and use code MSTEF5 for $5 off your ticket! 0:00 – 3:11 – Intro 3:11 – 8:00 – Quick News 8:00 ...
319. The Run Show Boston with Interviews! (Part 2)
February 13, 2023 00:16 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBWe were very excited to check out The Run Show in Boston last weekend! This episode has additional interviews from Saturday and all interviews from Sunday. We were able to get a total of over 50 interviews with vendors, guest speakers, and the event director from Raccoon Events himself! We got so much content that it didn't make sense to cram it all in one episode so this is part two of two. Look below to see who is featured in this episode and go back to listen to part 1 from last wee...
318. The Run Show Boston with Interviews! (Part 1)
February 07, 2023 02:02 - 1 hour - 73.7 MBWe have been planning to check out The Run Show in Boston since 2020 when it was first announced! COVID pushed back the actual event for a few years but this time it actually happened! The coldest temperature of the year couldn't even stop us from going and covering this long awaited event and boy ... cover it we did! We were able to get over 50 interviews with vendors, guest speakers, and the event director from Raccoon Events himself! We got so much content that it didn't make sense ...
317. Newbsanity's Night Ops with Winner Nicole Lunder!
January 29, 2023 23:26 - 58 minutes - 40.5 MBWe had Nicole Lunder on the show to talk about her win at last weekend's Night Ops which was put on by Newbsanity! Nicole is fairly new to the sport of obstacle course racing so in addition to talking about Newbsanity's Night Ops we talk about her experiences at Savage Race, OCRWC, and more as well! 0:00 – 2:39 – Intro 2:39 – 8:45 – Quick News 8:45 – 9:23 – Content Preface 9:23 - 52:44 - Nicole Lunder Interview 52:44 - End – Outro Next episode should be on The Run Show in Bos...
316. Ulrikke Evensen on Spartan World Championships, World's Toughest Mudder, and More!
January 23, 2023 00:09 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBWith this show being based out of the United States it's easy to focus on who we have in North America. When it comes to the sport as a whole though it's a massive disservice to the excellent athletes over in Europe! Trying to get better at this we are really excited to have Ulrikke Evensen on the show for the first time! Mike was able to meet her and have a quick word at OCRWC last year but she is an athlete definitely deserving her own episode! We talk about her athletic background, ...
315. Coach Dave Robinson on Goal Setting, Reducing Negative Self Talk, and Breathwork!
January 16, 2023 00:07 - 1 hour - 65.4 MBBack in August Mike heard an episode of Reinforced Running with a guest that got his attention, years before that he heard him for the first time on I Am A Spartan Podcast! Now we finally had the chance to have Dave Robinson on our show! We focus on how to set goals in a way that we are more likely to achieve them, how harmful self talk can be if not done appropriately, and the importance of breathing well. Check out the podcast he currently hosts (Get Enlifted Podcast), work your sto...
314. Frozen Clam Obstaplunge Audio and Interviews!
January 09, 2023 01:32 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBFor the new year we did an event that Mike has had an eye on for years, the Frozen Clam Obstaplunge! We were also able to make an episode out of it with event audio and interviews with a few participants as well as the CEO of Mentor Rhode Island Jo-Anne Schofield, the fund development manager from Mentor Rhode Island Jenny Gruslin, the head of Kids in the Canyon Don Blais, and the builder of the obstacles Ryan McGowan from Laidback Fitness! If you are in the area this is definitely an ev...
313. 2022 OCR Podcaster Roundtable Chat with Dave Claxton, Scott Knowles, and Brakken Kraker!
January 01, 2023 23:06 - 2 hours - 86.3 MBAnother year, another round table chat with fellow OCR podcasters! This is the fifth year in a row where we have done this, the members frequently change but it's a good way to have fun, get fresh ideas, and help awareness that there are other great shows out there! In the past we have had Heather Olsen from Overcome and Run, Matt B Davis from Obstacle Racing Media, Josh Chace from NE Spartan Show and then Obstacle Discourse with Davis and Chace, Scott "The Fayne" Knowles from I Am A Sp...

310. Applying for the Spartan Winter Death Race with Brandon Welling!
December 13, 2022 03:15 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MBBrandon Welling is an endurance athlete who has a long history of impressive accomplishments! He is one of two heads of TPK Endurance which has been putting on trail and endurance races since 2016!

309. Deka World Championships with Terra Jackson!
December 05, 2022 02:28 - 1 hour - 50 MBWe are going hybrid on this episode with Terra Jackson! Since we weren't able to cover the Deka World Championships in person we knew we needed at least one episode to give it some love. Following the results Mike immediately knew that he wanted Terra as the guest. Terra took 1st in Deka Fit, 1st in Deka Strong, and 3rd in the Deka Mile showing what a well rounded athlete she is. We also knew a bit more about her from listening to the OFX Podcast which was helpful as well. We discus...
308. World's Toughest Mudder with Mark Gaudet and First Woman to Hit 100 Miles Kris Rugloski!
November 28, 2022 02:40 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBThis is the second of two episodes on World's Toughest Mudder. Click here for part one. For this episode we have Mark Gaudet and Kris Rugloski! Mark won the Spartan Ultra World Championships in Telluride last year and has an extensive military background. Both of these add up to a pretty strong contender for WTM and he was able to place 2nd! Kris is the current Hyrox World Champion and has also set a record for the fastest time completing the ultra grand slam. She went into WTM with ...
307. World's Toughest Mudder with Tyler Veerman and New Champion DJ Fox!
November 21, 2022 01:08 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBWe were planning for this and next episode to be on Deka World Championships but unfortunately there were a trifecta of reasons that stopped us from being in Atlantic City to cover it live! Instead, we plan to have two episodes on World's Toughest Mudder (released earlier than planned). For this episode we have Tyler Veerman and DJ Fox! Tyler is no stranger to ultra endurance OCR as he did really well in Telluride last year for the Spartan Ultra World Championships. WTM is very differe...
306. The One Where We Say "Absolutely I Do"!
November 18, 2022 02:39 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MBWho would have thought that 5 years and 11 months into our show we would have such a special episode 306?! You listeners have come to know us pretty well and we figured that it was only fair to involve you in our wedding in one way or another! Being miked up for our ceremony was non-nogotiable since Mike wanted to use the audio for this episode, and to get an excellent video from the videographer as well! 0:00 – 4:08 – Intro 4:08 – 15:45 – Quick News 15:45 – 16:16 – Content Preface...
305. Preparing for a First World's Toughest Mudder with Anthony Kunkel and Michael Lopez!
November 08, 2022 04:31 - 1 hour - 71.4 MBMaking up for last week's lack of a guest we are having something of a double feature which we usually don't do in a single episode! First off we have Anthony Kunkel who runs the UltraHouse in Durango, Colorado. He is a well known athlete in the running world but OCR has not been his main focus. I (Mike) met him while covering WTM last year and it seems like he caught the ultra OCR bug and is ready to crush the course as an elite contender this year. He is also sponsored by a bunch of c...
304. Our Thoughts on the Spartan Race News!
November 01, 2022 00:37 - 27 minutes - 19 MBGhosted by a guest again! Hopefully now that Halloween is over we can be done with the ghosts and get back to some high quality episodes! If you're still here and listening we love your faces! We used this opportunity to talk about our thoughts on the 3 big Spartan race news stories. We got a crapload of messages from people saying that they wanted to hear our thoughts (which of course Mike had a lot of). Apologies if new information came out in the following 3 days before recording bu...
303. Spartan Dallas Ultra Recap with Angela Bowers! (Potential Venue for World's Toughest Mudder 2023?)
October 25, 2022 01:53 - 40 minutes - 28 MBWe needed to pivot from our original gameplan so hard that I may have sprained a metaphorical ankle. Anyway, instead of hearing from an elite athlete who competed at the big Spartan Race in Blue Mountain (because we were ghosted ... spooky!) we turned to our trusty friend Angela who is always traveling around doing races! This time we got even more lucky because her race this weekend was the Spartan Dallas Ultra (Beast)! Why is that lucky? Well, because it was at the venue of Twins Can...
302. Nicole Mericle on the OCR Dream Team, Injury Recovery, Returning to Racing, and More!
October 17, 2022 01:22 - 1 hour - 48.7 MBWe finally had Nicole Mericle on the show for her own episode!

Please support the companies that are supporting awesome women in the sport like Nicole: Sur Phyto Performance, Honey Stinger, Athletic Brewing, VJ Shoes, Kriva CBDA, and Pro Tec Athletics! Oh, and follow her dog too! 0:00 – 2:34 – In...

It begins with the men's relay start line audio with Justin Manning, a bunch of team and individual athlete interviews, a few vendors, and some interviews with the athletes who made it to the semi-finals of both the open and pro 100 meter competition! If you want some OCRWC videos to watch, Mike (and sometimes Katelyn) were involved in...

September 29, 2022 21:37 - 2 hours - 90.2 MBThis is the second of our 3 episodes covering OCRWC this year! Part 2 focuses on Saturday's 15K and begins with the men and women's start line audio with Justin Manning, a few vendor interviews, a bunch of elite interviews, and then elite podium audio! Since this is the big milestone of episode 300 the intro and outro were recorded on Instagram Live so we were a bit distracted but had fun with it, watch it here if you'd like! After the outro there is also a celebratory compilation of sh...
299. OCR World Championships 3K with Elites and Graham Roberts from NOX!
September 27, 2022 01:07 - 1 hour - 84.9 MBThis is the first of our 3 episodes covering OCRWC this year!

If you want some ...
298. Fran Chiorando from The OCRWC Podcast!
September 19, 2022 01:58 - 52 minutes - 40.1 MBOne of Mike's favorite new podcasts has been the OCRWC Podcast! First off, the more podcasts on OCR the better, second it is more likely to have a wider range of athletes on the show due to both the broad nature of the show and the fact that the host is from England! Following the show from the start Mike still didn't know much of anything about the host though. When he found out who she was he reached out to her earlier this year and planned to have her on the show for an episode the w...
297. Shawn Roberts on Savage Race Series, OCRWC, and More!
September 13, 2022 03:40 - 47 minutes - 36.1 MBWe had Shawn Roberts on the show for the first time! Mike has occasionally reached out to him throughout the past couple years to congratulate him and offer other words of support and he met him in person and spoke off the mic at OCRWC 2021. Earlier this year he reached back out and said that he wanted to come on the show. Very interested in having another conversation with him and figuring that it could be a great way to build anticipation for OCRWC we had this call where we discuss tha...
296. Rylan Schadegg on Winning Spartan North American Championship, Palm Beach Deka FIT, and Faith!
September 05, 2022 02:45 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBRylan Schadegg won the Spartan North American Championship last weekend in Kelowna located in British Columbia, Canada! This weekend he won the Palm Beach Deka Fit setting a new record and beating Ryan Kent by seconds! These are pretty impressive accomplishments but only some of the reasons why we wanted to have him on the show! On previous appearances on other podcasts like Reinforced Running and The Running Public he was very vocal about his history of disordered eating, and he discu...
