Obstacle Running Adventures

We had the pleasure of having Mike Apfelberg, the president of The United Way of Greater Nashua on our show to talk about Virtual Blizzard Blast!

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!

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!

It's time for our second of two 2020 recap episodes! If you missed part one with our funny moments then check it out here!

2020 has been a strange year that likely won't be remembered well but we hope that this episode provides some great life lessons from our show so you can leave 2020 better than you went into it!

Why are we so confident in our show this year? We have had athletes such as Brakken Kraker, Rebecca Hammond, Erin Rost, and Evan Perperis, as well as various race owners such as Jenn Scotts, Adrian Bijanada, and Robb McCoy. We traveled from the northeast all the way to Kansas, so we could provide great OCR and running content.

Was 2020 the best year yet? No, but we learned to roll with the punches and pivot our show!

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!

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".
