Glenn is a self taught runner who didn't even begin training until after college. Learning on the fly, he progressed to a low 15 minute 5k and 4:12 mile over the course just a few years. From there, he was signed by the Spartan Pro Team in 2014 and has been an OCR racer ever since. 

Our longest episode yet, and you will not regret staying until the end! Glenn is one of the best people we have ever met in this sport, but he has also overcome some pretty incredible life obstacles along the way. If you don't know Glenn's story, buckle up!

We've noticed a few trends with the athletes we work with over the past few months. We want to go over them right now and hopefully help out anyone who is starting to exhibit similar behaviors in training! A few highlights:

• Rushing injury rehab in order to be ready for a "B" Race

This month's Q&A covers a little bit of everything!

• How much is too much cross training?

Heads up, we get lost down a few rabbit holes regarding OCR schedules and the recent NCAA National Championship meet, so skip to 21:00 if you are just looking for the Q&A portion!

Waking up for the second day of racing can be a brutal experience. Today's episode is designed to make that process as smooth as possible for you! 

• How to train for multiple days of racing

Yancy might be the most influential person in the sport of OCR not named Joe De Sena. His coaching, passion, and service to our sport has personally impacted thousands and thousands of individuals. From a childhood in rural Texas to the military to cancer, learn about the journey that made the man we all know and love. 

When we find ourselves do too much of our running on surfaces that don't mimic race terrain it ALWAYS comes back to haunt us. A week ago in Jacksonville, many people realized they weren't ready for the sloppy conditions. The water and mud broke their cadence and rhythm, preventing them from ever getting going. Broken running is such a powerful skill to master, so we dive deep into it today!

An endurance athlete, Doctor and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Dr. A'nna joins us for a look into the way nutrition and blood testing affects our performance. We begin with general principles then progress to A'nna's specialty: female specific nutrition and blood testing. If you are a female athlete, coach female athletes, or even just know a female athlete, the second half of this interview is now on your "must-listen" list!

Racing has returned to the OCR world! This weekend was full of familiar faces and surprise performers. Today we breakdown the course, the performances, what we learned, and much more!

Kevin is the biggest enigma in the sport OCR. Despite having an endurance career that stretches over 30 years, he is still a bit of an unknown commodity. Understood by few, his story deserves a listen. So kick back as he takes you through the process of becoming the KG we see today!

It is time to kick off our 2021 Race Season! Today we discuss our race week mindset, the final workouts we hit, we preview the course and the competition and talk a bit of strategy!
