August 22, 2021 23:56 - 1 hour - 81.6 MB

Mike's most anticipated local OCR event finally happened!  FIT Challenge and Newbsanity teamed up and created an OCR Extravaganza that appears to have a bright future! We drove about 5 and a half hours to get to Binghamton, NY and as expected it was worth it!  In addition to running a lap of both courses Mike got close to 20 interviews with people who made the event as special as it was! Be sure to follow and support FIT Challenge and Newbsanity as they are two of the remaining local No...

August 17, 2021 00:52 - 35 minutes - 25.7 MB

Originally Mike hoped to make it out to cover Chicago Toughest but the flights were more expensive than he was willing to pay!  Backup plan was the New England Spartan Super and Sprint and we planned to cover the event and have Mike run the Super.  Motivation to do a Spartan Race wasn't really there so we had a more relaxing weekend and instead got stuff done around the house. We can never forget about you though dear listener!  Katelyn had one of our favorite northeast OCR athletes Kelly ...

August 08, 2021 21:53 - 38 minutes - 29.5 MB

Mark Jones reached out about having us give his beta test event of Ruckfest a shoutout so we gave it some love during quick news in a previous episode.  We realized that we had room for a full episode in August so we planned out an interview with one of our most popular guests! Brandon Welling joins him on the call and is the other half of the event planning and production.  He is also head of Two Punk Kids (TPK) which has held other epic endurance events! 0:00 - 2:14 - Intro 2:14 - 5:...

July 26, 2021 01:22 - 40 minutes - 30.4 MB

Mike and Katelyn ventured four hours to Western Maine to finally check out Tough Mountain Challenge! Don't let this local OCR fool you, it is a doozy! Tough Mountain Challenge takes place at The Sunday River Mountain in Newry, Maine and has about 1,200 feet of elevation and 20+ obstacles! If you're a New Englander, this local OCR should be added to your 2022 race schedule!  Sunday River is also home to the North American Wife Carrying Championship which we have been wanting to go and cover f...

July 20, 2021 02:23 - 1 hour - 49.2 MB

Lots of great events in the northeast this weekend!  Extreme Ravine, Rugged Maniac, Bonefrog, Tough Mudder, etc. but none of them had our eye like Toughest Mudder in the Poconos! Our first sponsored athlete and in general good friend Javier Escobar had a team of four that won their category of the race!  He called in to talk about the storm which had lightning that struck an obstacle, his team situation where they were down a man for a period of time, and much more! 0:00 - 2:14 - Intro ...

236. Ode to Laz Backyard Ultra: The Battle of Davis and Chace!

July 13, 2021 00:53 - 2 hours - 96.1 MB

Months ago Matt B Davis from Obstacle Racing Media asked if Mike would be able to support him as pit crew for his A-race of the year, Ode to Laz! This was to be a battle between himself and Josh Chace, another friend and cohost of Davis and Chace.  Not wanting to choose sides, Mike drove over to Michigan with Josh in order to pit and document the event for the both of them!  This episode consists of both Matt and Josh's thoughts the day before the event, interviews and predictions by oth...

235. Bubbles the Clowne aka Kevin Gregory on Underdog Fitness, Deka Strong, and More!

July 05, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 71.6 MB

Somehow this is the first time that we have had Kevin Gregory on the show despite Mike being a fan of him and Bubbles for years!  We have a long talk about the early days of OCR, being comfortably wierd, as well as being a heavier "clydesdale" in the sport. His new gym Underdog Fitness in Wallingford, Connecticut will be hosting it's first Deka Strong event on July 10th!  If you are in the area then be sure to register for their event but if you don't have availability that day then be su...

234. Indian Mud Run with Amy Pajcic!

June 28, 2021 02:48 - 37 minutes - 28.3 MB

Well, we missed going to yet another Indian Mud Run event!  However, this gave us a great excuse to have Amy Pajcic on the show to talk about her win! Amy is starting to get some more recognition and quite frankly we think it is overdue.  Beating incredible women like Lindsay Webster at the Savage Rig in Ohio earlier this year, being Magic Pajcic on American Ninja Warrior, some solid performances at OCRWC events, and a bunch of other wins at grip intensive races like Conquer the Gauntlet! ...

233. Obstacle Fitness X Podcast with Dave Claxton and Bethany McChesney!

June 20, 2021 20:11 - 58 minutes - 44.7 MB

We have mentioned the Obstacle Fitness X Podcast a few times since their show started!  Dave and Bethany do an excellent job bringing more awareness to Canadian OCR athletes who you should be aware of, and cover news in hybrid racing events like Hyrox, and DekaFit!  It is the only Canadian OCR Podcast that we have been consistently listening to and we highly recommend it!  Also, you should check out the OCR Tribe Facebook group too! 0:00 - 2:39 - Intro 2:39 - 15:39 - (Not) Quick News ...

232. Miranda Kielpinski on Tri-State Spartan Sprint, Surfing, and More!

June 13, 2021 21:31 - 38 minutes - 28.9 MB

We kept reading the name Miranda Kielpinski in recent podium results so we figured we would have her on the show after she ran the Triple-State Spartan Sprint weekend to get to know her a bit and to put a voice to the name! Miranda talks about how she got into OCR in 2019, dealt with a knee issue, and has come back to a pretty solid start to 2021.  The most surprising part is that her athletic background is surfing which isn't usually the first sport that is thought about when it comes to ...

231. Goliathon (Live) with Race Co-Founder Dana McFarland, Jamie Rahn, and More!

June 08, 2021 01:36 - 50 minutes - 38.3 MB

Mike finally crossed Goliathon off of his OCR bucket list!  As excited as he was to finally run the event, he was also nervous about his lack of training.  Katelyn assured him that since it is a local race it will have simple obstacles ... but Mike knew better! It's a typical OCR until you're staring down one of their many ninja inspired rigs which luckily have 3 lanes of difficulty!  Green for beginners or for those that want to play it safe, orange for a solid challenge, and blue if you ...

230. Infinitus 100 Miler with Zack Wisnowski!

May 31, 2021 21:41 - 50 minutes - 36 MB

Zack Wisnowski had posted about how he was attempting his third 100 miler race after the first two had resulted in DNF, we reached out and told him that he had a spot on the show if he finished this one!  The race was Infinitus, one of The Endurance Society's ultra events! Infinitus is an event that will always be important to Mike since it was his first marathon course, he even has a map of the course in the podcasting office!  Zack shares his enthusiasm about the event, his side hustle o...

228. Newbsanity's Mud Gauntlet with Winner Ryan Brizzolara!

May 16, 2021 22:27 - 59 minutes - 47 MB

Mud Gauntlet is one of Newbsanity's many great events that they put on every year!  Other notable ones are their Extreme Ravine, Commando Cup, Frozen Four Miler, and the new Newbsanity Ultra FIT weekend!  Many exciting races but Mud Gauntlet is the more straightforward OCR one. Ryan Brizzolara won the event so we discuss how he got mixed up in the Newbsanity group, he gives a description of the many obstacles on the course, retells how he faced off against incredible athletes like Jashua ...

227. Jesse Bruce on One Academy, "New Addiction" Documentary, and More!

May 10, 2021 00:57 - 39 minutes - 28.8 MB

Jesse Bruce is one of the most influential Canadian OCR athletes and easily one of our favorites!  Between race podiums he volunteers, trains people at his gym (One Academy), and helps his community in other ways. We had him on to talk about how his gym is surviving the pandemic, his thoughts on the mini documentary made about him, and how he uses his previous dark times as motivation to push himself and others to become better! 0:00 - 2:10 - Intro 2:10 - 5:26 - Quick News 5:26 - 5:4...

May 02, 2021 23:44 - 1 hour - 69.6 MB

We haven't had Matt B Davis on the podcast in a while so Mike had some interesting questions prepared for him!  We discuss his recent week of unplugging from social media and from his phone in general, how he continues to learn more about the importance of mental health, what the meaning of life is, and so much more! Oh and he is the founder of Obstacle Racing Media in case you haven't heard of it. 0:00 - 2:33 - Intro 2:33 - 8:23 - Quick News 8:23 - 8:41 - Content Preface 8:41 - 1:...

All that out of the way, hear a bunch of news stories as well as how Angela's experience at the Spartan Palm Beaches event went! 0:00 - 2:09 - Intro 2:09 - 14:21 - Not Quick...

224. BattleFrog 2015 Reminiscing with CJ O'Connor!

April 18, 2021 23:18 - 44 minutes - 32 MB

BattleFrog is remembered for both good and bad by those who ran it when it was around!  With the next incarnation of the event planning to resurface and the initial comeback weekend being this weekend, Mike figured that he would have his good friend CJ on the show to talk about running the event back in 2015! This is a simple episode reminiscing about the old days in OCR and doing commentary on our GoPro event video that Mike made years ago! We do not go into specifics of the past and fu...

April 05, 2021 01:25 - 1 hour - 66.4 MB

Mike had the chance to talk to one of his top 2 favorite Kempson brothers (not picking sides on this one)! Matt Kempson has switched his athletic focus more towards an event called The Tactical Games and other than following his Instagram posts, it's not an event that I know much about.  He came on to talk about that event, Hyrox, his thoughts on Spartan Ultra Championship in Telluride, Leon's injury, Hildervat, Kempson Designs, and much more! There aren't many athletes in OCR (or OCR a...

March 28, 2021 23:04 - 33 minutes - 25.6 MB

Another weekend, another event!  It feels good to be running trail races and OCR again! This weekend Mike volunteered at BoldrDash Winter Dash at the "Wannabe" Destroyer obstacle and had a great time cheering on participants.  Towards the end of the event he set out to sweep the 5 mile course which is when the heavens opened and it rained like it hasn't in months.

220. FIT 'Rock 5 Miler and 5k Trail Race Recap!

March 21, 2021 17:51 - 25 minutes - 19 MB

FIT Challenge knows how to put on great events, both trail and OCR.  Robb McCoy, the race director, has also learned how to put them on safely amidst a pandemic and helps prove that races can safely happen! Mike ran both the 5 miler and the 5k options at the Cumberland Monastery and had a great time at the events.  Unfortunately there was also a lot of anxiety going into an event for the first time in a while which we also discuss. 0:00 - 2:20 - Intro 2:20 - 14:10 - Quick News 14:10 ...

219. Rat Race USA, and Live Loud Running with Jimmy McCaffrey!

March 14, 2021 23:42 - 1 hour - 47.3 MB

March 08, 2021 01:39 - 43 minutes - 31.9 MB

Listen to hear how you can support the fundraising efforts, participate in the virtual event, or cheer him on as he faces off against some pretty gnarly outcomes that could result if he isn't careful! Oh and he is going to...

216. Overcome All Obstacles Foundation with Max Fennell, Rea Kolbl, and Ian Hosek!

February 21, 2021 23:49 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB

Diversity in sports!  Basketball, football, and soccer all have it but why doesn't OCR, triathlon, or other endurance sports?  This is what the Overcome All Obstacles Foundation aims to change! Elite start lines at obstacle course races are objectively monochromatic which is a massive challenge when it comes to drawing a more diverse group of athletes to it!  Max Fennell, Rea Kolbl, and Ian Hosek all call in for a much needed conversation on this topic. Regardless of your personal belief...

215. Ring Fit Adventure!

February 14, 2021 20:57 - 30 minutes - 23.8 MB

It's a very different type of episode this week as it is more of a video game review!  Ring Fit Adventure is an RPG where you use exercises to traverse across worlds and defeat monsters.  It teaches you great fitness and nutrition tips while providing a serious workout! Mike has been playing this game for the past 50 days and intends to keep playing it.  Is it something you should try?  What was the hardest workout?  How difficult is it?  Is there a story to the game?  Is Nintendo going to...

214. Colonial Road Runners with Dan Inglis!

February 09, 2021 02:34 - 50 minutes - 36.6 MB

Mike reached out to Dan Inglis, the president of The Colonial Road Runners, to have him on to talk about the running group.  Mike has been a member for the past few years but hasn't really had much of a chance to get to know the new president so this was a great conversation to get to know him better. This is one of our wicked local focused episodes but we really think that there is a lot to take out of this no matter where you live!  If you do live in the area then we highly recommend joi...

January 31, 2021 20:11 - 49 minutes - 35.5 MB

Are you tired of all the similar virtual races like we are?  That's fine, this is a much more unique version geared to help their local community.  Odd are that you may not specifically live in southern New Hampshire but there are still ways that you can support them or use their own idea to help your own community! 0:00 - 2:37 - Intro 2:37 -...

212. Victor Quezada: Whoop, There He Is!

January 26, 2021 03:15 - 46 minutes - 36.6 MB

We needed to make a last minute switch since our original guest became unavailable and that's when Victor slid into our DMs! Victor Quezada is someone that we have heard about throughout the years but never had the chance to talk to, so this turned into an excellent opportunity to get to know him better!  He also partnered up with Whoop so see if he can hook you up so you can join his OCR group! 0:00 - 2:17 - Intro 2:17 - 9:50 - Quick News 9:50 - 10:19 - Content Preface 10:19 - 42...

December 07, 2020 02:21 - 46 minutes - 34.3 MB

We finally had a chance to speak with Rebecca Hammond, Harvard MD and elite OCR athlete!  We wanted to have her on early on in the pandemic but everyone else seemed to have had the same idea.  We figured we would save our questions for the next time that we saw her at a race but little did we know that this pandemic was going to take a long time and we still aren't out of it yet! 0:00 - 2:05 - Intro 2:05 - 8:01 - Quick News 8:01 - 8:43 - Content Preface 8:43 - 42:29 - Rebecca Hammo...

We couldn't get the time to work out for a Quarantine Qorner live video earlier this year but we reached back out to Kirk about coming on our regular show as a guest! Kirk DeWindt is someone who we admittedly didn't know as much about before listening to The Running Public.  Quickly thereafter, he became one of our favorites for his determination through training, assistance in breaking down complex training terms, and the way he says "opinion". 0:00 - 2:29 - Intro 2:29 - 9:50 - Quick ...

November 16, 2020 02:34 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB

With Virtual World's Toughest Mudder happening last weekend we wanted to have someone from the event on to talk about it.  Mike and Katelyn also had an unrelated talk about how they never really had the chance to actually talk with one of the event Zoom hosts Carlo Piscitello despite being in a group message with him for the past year. It was a slight pivot but we were super excited to finally have Carlo on.  He is every bit as friendly and funny as you would expect and he warned us that h...

We hit episode 200 without missing a single weekend!  We have put a mind blowing amount of hours into this show and felt that we should celebrate it in the same way that we did for episode 100 back on October 2nd 2018, by doing it live! Live content is very different from how we usually record so the setup was a bit distracting for us.  We didn't edit the episode to keep the live feeling while listening, but don't take this as a sign of laziness because the post credit content took 40-50 h...

October 27, 2020 01:05 - 1 hour - 55.1 MB

We all know that OCRWC in Stratton, VT was cancelled this year.  I, like many many others was upset by this but figured that we could celebrate OCRWC and all the work that Adrian and his team do in a different way! I reached out to Adrian Bijanada to come on the show so we could discuss his athletic background, the history of OCRWC, highlights over the years, as well as important lessons that he has learned from past events! 0:00 - 2:15 - Intro 2:15 - 10:28 - Quick News 10:28 - 11:06...
