Obstacle Running Adventures

Another 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 Spartan Podcast, Jason Dupree and Anna Landry from OCR Talk, Kim DeVoss from OCR Coven, Dave Claxton from OFX Podcast, and Rich Ryan from Reinforced Running.

This year we have Scott and Dave returning with an addition of Brakken Kraker from The Running Public and Race Brain!

We 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 discuss how she thought the events were run, what it was like competing in such a competitive field, advice to both first timers as well as future elites, and some Hyrox talk as well!

This 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 the intention of getting 100 miles and that's exactly what she did!

We 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 different than a Spartan event though, less burpees but much more water! We talk about his experience at the race, his decision to stop after 100 miles, and him comparing the experience to Telluride last year!

DJ came on the scene hot at last year's WTM and secured a podium position of third place! He has since dedicated even more time and effort into this event and has been training at the Ultra House with Anthony Kunkel. We would all say that it paid off as he took the win overall this year!

Making 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 companies and has a Patreon so please consider supporting him and his crew!

The second interview is with Michael Lopez who had a short run of a podcast called My Journey to World's Toughest Mudder which I binge listened to back in April/May. He is overcoming some health issues and is running this event in memory of his parents. There are a lot of first timers each year to this amazing event but I wanted to have him on the show to hear from another every day person because in addition to elites, they makes WTM the incredible event that it is!

Ghosted 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 but life has been pretty hellish so we may be a bit more out of the loop with the sport than usual.
