On this episode I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down to talk to a Robin French who is an Ex Professional Basketball player turned Elite OCR Athlete.

Never heard of Obstacle Course Racing or OCR? Well neither had I up until around 3 weeks ago when I was introduced to Robin through Instagram. Many of you will most likely know what OCR is and have heard of the race series called tough mudder. Robin likes to say that tough mudder is the "fun run" of the OVR world, however, admits it is a great way for people to get involved in the sport.

Robin has only recently taken up fasting and even with his hectic training schedule has found that the no breakfast life is one that has helped his energy levels, training capacity and ability to recover as well as his mental capability to think fast and confident throughout a OCR Race.

Robin is one of the UK's top OCR athletes and will be off to compete in the world champs being held in Canada in October of 2017. We spoke about his training, his introduction in the fasting world and how he ties it all together to have him at peak conditioning for race day.

I hope you enjoyed this chat as much as I did and learn something about a new and quickly emerging world sport. If you wish to follow Robin on his journey to the world champs and beyond, his Instagram details are below.

Thank you again to Robin for coming onto the show and I will see you next time on another episode of How The Focaccia?
