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 insights about training, race preparation, and how to stay positive during all 25.5 hours of World's Toughest Mudder! 

Start – 4:02 – Intro

4:02 – 17:06 – Quick News

17:06 – 18:11 – Content Preface

18:11 – 1:20:15 - Josh Fiore Interview

1:20:15 – End – Outro

Next weekend we aren't sure who we will have on the show yet but Mike has an idea that is proving to be pretty timely!
