Nitty Gritty Training

Kris is a 26 yr old resident of Colorado who loves to run far, preferably in the mountains. Having seen success in anything from 3-mile obstacle course races to 100-mile mountain trail ultras (only a few weeks apart(!), she's always down for an adventure and a chance to push her limits. She lives by the principle of asking not what you can do for your body but what your body can do for you. Kris shares great wisdom on embodying a fitness, healthy, and fun lifestyle!

The Nitty Gritty Training Podcast is a bi-weekly show with OCR Pro Faye Stenning and Canadian Olympian Jess O'Connell.

Tyler was recently crowned the OCRWC 15 km champion, running away from an accomplished field. Any world championship win is noteworthy, but what makes this even more impressive is that Tyler was preparing to race at the Spartan 24-hour Ultra World Championships, and pivoted his sights to the 15km (an event that is much much shorter) only a week before after the Ultra was canceled! Tyler tells us about his training and the mindset he uses to excel in long races.
