Disclaimer: Okay, so this is the first episode we have ever recorded having consumed wine both before and during the recording. I think it shows. We try to be serious, but the Vegan debate takes over! What the episode lacks in research, we hope it makes up for in giggles, dogmatism and mad cow sound effects! Please don't take it too seriously... Errr Enjoy! :-) 🌱 

• Too much wine & giggles!
• New Toughest Race formats and obstacles!
• New Year Resolutions
• UK OSF - Russia (Sochi) Selection! Clear
• Too much Toblerone - time for a break!
• Becky Rendell gets Meat Tourettes and assumes other identities for free products!
• The Born to Run book and Vibram 5 Finger Shoes Clear
• Who has done more research, the Gamechangers documentary or the hosts of OCR Disrupt?
• Vegan Jon Albon versus Omnivorous, meat-eating Jon Albon - the debate!
• Vegan Sympathising

Episode 006 - "An Albon Assassination, OCR Euros, Feeling Flat, Helix Hell & Junior Hopes" - #006

Its the New Year - 2019!! Welcome to Episode 6...

We talk about whether or not OCR has fallen a bit flat? Quoted as being the fastest growing mass participation sport in 2016 and 2017, but what about now? We also discuss the rising costs of entering a 5km short race, we solve the puzzle of OCR Euros qualification and then assess which race one should enter (as the Spartan Euros are on the same day) and finally we pit Jon Albon up against the mighty Joe De Sena!

In this Episode discuss and debate:

• 2018 Quick OCR review and New Year Resolutions
• Is OCR Feeling Flat right now
• How can one qualify for the OCR Euros?
• OCR Euros or Spartan Euros - both on the same date in 2019 - so which race to choose?
• The assassination of Jon Albon - was the £1million prize ever really a possibility?
• The Helix is here - should we fear this new obstacle?
• Your turn to talk and ours to listen, it’s the Facebook feedback…
• Community Shout Out - This Week, we talk with Robin French the OCR Junior Development Programme
• We also give a little shout out to OCR Magazine!
• Would they beat Jon; Joe de Sena versus the undisputed OCR World Champion... 
• Dick of the day award - we nominate someone we have never met on Instagram...
