World's Toughest Podcast

One of the newest offerings from Tough Mudder is the "Infinite Hero Challenge". Infinite Hero Challenge is a new team-based way to explore the Tough Mudder course with challenges and obstacles that you won't face on a normal Tough Mudder course.

Evan Perperis is the man behind the program for Tough Mudder. He joins us to talk about how the event came about, what people can expect, and the differences between Infinite Hero Challenge and Tough Mudder Infinity.

The last time Evan was on the show it got a little spicy. We talk about how relationships have mended and lessons learned from that episode.

Keith Allen is the creator of the 🎶 Kristopher Mendoza 🎶 jingle, a WTM vet, and one of the most talented people you will ever meet.

Keith joins Will to talk about meeting at Taco Bell, his past career as a professional musician, and the time he got 60 miles at World's Toughest Mudder and should have gone back out for 65. Five years later he still regrets not getting one more lap in.

Keith is launching a new "Custom WTM Songs" service. If you want Keith to write a song for you about your WTM 2021 experience with your milage and your story, reach out to him on Instagram.

HEADS UP: This episode isn't for the kiddos. There are a few grown-up words in the conversation.

Elliot Rueb ran 65 miles his first year at World's Toughest Mudder. His best year was 85 miles. As part of his training for WTM 2021 he ran the Moab 240. (The 240 stands for miles. 240 *MILES*.)

Elliot and Will swap WTM stories and debate whether it is worth it to stop mid-race to use the bathroom. (Spoiler: They both say no.)
