On this Episode, Killington Spartan Ultra pre race show! Neil Murphy, Eric Langdon , and I go down a rabbit hole about the race. Everything from training, fueling , drop bin, and strategy. Neil has done the race almost every year since it started, I’ve done it 5 times and Eric did it last year for the first time. So all three of us have a different point of view from our experiences with this race. Good episode for doing an ultra anywhere .

On this Episode, Brian Gowiski tells us about his back to back podiums at Charlotte Sprint race. We also talk about Spartan races in the past that we have done and the experiences we had. This was an awesome Episode where I felt like I was just talking shop with a buddy after a race. You definitely want to check this one out!

On this Episode, Charlotte Curtis tells us about running OCR races with minimal running early on, and then transitioning to ultra running during 2020. She has done a lot of ultra races in a short amount of time, and has done very well. We go over a few of those, but especially her most recent 2nd place finish at the Georgia Death Race. The Georgia Death Race is a 74ish mile point to point trail run from Vogal State Park to Amicalola Falls State Park. Runners have to carry a 1lb railroad spike the entire way. You don't want to miss this one!

Being a 14x Xterra National Champion and the 2015 Xterra World Champion. He was on the "Spartan Games", which is a 4 part series on YouTube. He was also on the Amazon Prime's "ECO Challenge Race" that took place in Fiji. He decided to race the Jacksonville race, even though he hasn't done a Spartan Race since 2011. He had an excellent race coming back and is sure to be a threat in races to come. You don't want to miss this Episode!

On this episode I speak with OCR Overload owner Aaron Frank! OCR Overload is an obstacle race that's going to take place on February, 6th in Waldo Florida. Before you say "where's Waldo" it's like a 3o minute drive from Jacksonville. Its going to be a 4 mile race with almost 40 obstacles! With a combination of Swamp Battle and Hildervat Obstacles. Aaron states this race "will NOT be cancelled" and gave us code SWAMP50 for 50% off! He tells us all the details and describes a lot of the challenging obstacles that are going to be there.
