400. Episode 400 with Live Intro/Outro, Surprise Congratulations Clips, Q&A, and Shoutout Compilation!01 Sep 202401:38:16

Another huge milestone of the show, hitting 400 Episodes!  Don't quote me on it but I can't think of any other OCR podcasts that have made it this far (other than Obstacle Racing Media) ... yet!

We celebrate with a live recording of the intro, the naming of a new "sponsored athlete" some Q&A, audio clips that Katelyn had sneakily asked for congratulating us, some more Q&A, a compilation of times we were mentioned on other shows, and a live outro!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 7 years and 8 months, everyone who watched this live recording, sent in audio clips, guests who have been on the show, our patreon supporters, and everyone else who has helped this show keep going for so long!

399. Winning Toughest Mudder Chicago with Jenny Overstreet!27 Aug 202401:06:46

Lots of events happened this weekend so it was difficult to figure out which event to focus on and which particular athlete to have on the show.  I try not to have the same guest on for their own episode too many times, one of the big events had a lot of issues and I'd want to have more of the dust settle before we consider having an athlete on to talk about it.

Then Mike saw that Jenny Overstreet won Toughest Mudder Chicago!  He first met her at the end of OCR America 2 during the KC Timber Challenge coverage.  He was severely sleep deprived from a full week of traveling across the country doing OCR so he has limited  memories of that day but it definitely happened!

Jenny is an athlete from the midwest who is known to be a formidable ultra OCR athlete from previous Toughest and World Toughest Mudders so we were excited to have her on the show for her own episode.  Be sure to check out the MudGear Hannibal Race Pro Team that she is a part of as well as her gym RoKC!

390. Spartan Citi Field with Elites and Vendors!24 Jun 202401:03:10

Mike was able to return to Citi Field for coverage of the Spartan Stadium (still refuse to say Stadion), only this time he was able to run it as well which he has been wanting to do over a decade now!

Without Katelyn helping, coverage ability was more limited but there is still a pretty good episode put together for you with 16 athletes and 6 vendors interviewed along with some start line audio to put you, the listener, in the stadium with us!

298. Fran Chiorando from The OCRWC Podcast!19 Sep 202200:52:47

One of Mike's favorite new podcasts has been the OCRWC Podcast!  First off, the more podcasts on OCR the better, second it is more likely to have a wider range of athletes on the show due to both the broad nature of the show and the fact that the host is from England!

Following the show from the start Mike still didn't know much of anything about the host though.  When he found out who she was he reached out to her earlier this year and planned to have her on the show for an episode the weekend before the big event to help build more excitement!

Fran Chiorando talks about how she got into obstacle course racing, how she started to work with the founder of OCRWC (Adrian Bijanada), what she is looking forward to most next weekend, and much more!

We had Shawn Roberts on the show for the first time!  Mike has occasionally reached out to him throughout the past couple years to congratulate him and offer other words of support and he met him in person and spoke off the mic at OCRWC 2021.

Earlier this year he reached back out and said that he wanted to come on the show.  Very interested in having another conversation with him and figuring that it could be a great way to build anticipation for OCRWC we had this call where we discuss that race as well as the Savage Race series, and a few other things!

296. Rylan Schadegg on Winning Spartan North American Championship, Palm Beach Deka FIT, and Faith!05 Sep 202201:10:37

Rylan Schadegg won the Spartan North American Championship last weekend in Kelowna located in British Columbia, Canada!  This weekend he won the Palm Beach Deka Fit setting a new record and beating Ryan Kent by seconds!

These are pretty impressive accomplishments but only some of the reasons why we wanted to have him on the show!  On previous appearances on other podcasts like Reinforced Running and The Running Public he was very vocal about his history of disordered eating, and he discussed being plagued with injuries like his calcaneus.

Through interviewing other athletes in the sport Rylan also frequently came up as lending a helpful hand to his competitors.  This may have been the biggest factor in being excited to have him on the show since he is new blood in the sport and a perfect fit in our awesome OCR community!

Spartan North American Championship was this weekend in Kelowna located in British Columbia, Canada!

This is a new venue and it yielded a new podium! Taking 3rd place for the men was Shaun Stephens-Whale, an athlete we have only had on the show once back in 2018 but we remembered him having an interesting sports background which featured tower running, and had heard that his training was very focused heading into this event!

We discuss the sport of tower running, his preparation and race in Kelowna, oh and his experience with a bear attacking him!

294. RuckFest Trail and Games with Elites and Mark Jones!23 Aug 202201:51:37

Mike was invited back to cover RuckFest which is a competitive rucking event featuring a trail event, games events, as well as a team krew event.  They are all run by Brandon Welling from TPK Endurance and Mark Jones!

This time Mike stepped up and ran the 6.9 mile competitive trail course instead of the 3.1 mile fun run, and he brought Katelyn too!  After participating in the trail event both Mike and Katelyn volunteered to help out with the Ruck Games!

This is a long episode due to getting event audio to give you listeners more of an understanding of what the event is like (and hopefully encourage you to join next year), and a bunch of interviews.  Check the time stamps below if you are more interested in some sections of the episode over others.

He was working on the Instagram story for the podcast as well as for The OCR Report while doing interviews but the show always comes first!

292. Mike Stefano's 10 Year OCR Anniversary!07 Aug 202200:58:20

We have had our eyes on this celebratory moment for a while, had plans, and then of course had plans change!

We hoped to have Rob Fournier aka the Muddy Warthog on the show since he was a very influential race reviewer at the time.  However, due to a family crisis he wasn't able to come on the show but will hopefully will be a guest for a different kind of semi-planned episode in the next year or so.

With this change Katelyn stepped up and wrote some questions, and built a time machine to go through the past 10 years of Mike's OCR journey.

We had Elvi Guzman on the show to talk about his 10 year anniversary of City Challenge Race!

City Challenge Race has great obstacles, epic medals, a huge support system comprised of gyms and teams, and much more going for them!  Their next event in New York City will also have prize money for the first time!

These events have been on Mike's radar for a long time and with Katelyn's family living in New Jersey you'd think that we would have had the opportunity to run one by now.  We hope to check out one of his races soon and we recommend that you do as well!

389. Gaylord Gauntlet Live Coverage with Tara Knapp, Dr. Steve Holland, AWDs, and More!17 Jun 202401:40:34

We all know Mike loves a good small local race so we drove down to the Gaylord Gauntlet to experience and cover it for the first time! This race is 3.3 miles long with mud and over 20 obstacles. 

We knew that the venue was a hospital but we had no idea the extent to which the event has benefitted members of the adaptive community for the past 10 years. In the last decade the Gaylord Gauntlet 5k has raised over $800,000 for the Gaylord Sports Association which provides adaptive sports for individuals with physical and visual disabilities, as well as our Military Veterans. 

You'll hear from athletes with disabilities (AWDs), guide runners, Tara Knapp the VP of external affairs at Gaylord, and the Race Director Dr. Steve Holland. 

We hope to see you there next year!

289. Cali Schweikhart on Utah Spartan Ultra, Disordered Eating, Good Pizza, and More!17 Jul 202201:14:44

After 2 years of wanting to have her on the podcast Mike finally pulled the trigger and invited Cali Schweikhart to be a guest on the show!

Cali has continued to be vocal with her experiences dealing with disordered eating.  We are all about doing what we can to help reduce the amount of stigma in society when it comes to barriers that people face. We discuss how she handles it, how to identify potential warning signs for others, as well as how to deal with toxic training ideology!

Cali also very recently represented TORC and crushed her first Spartan Ultra and seemed to have had a great time running it.  We talk about her experience at the Utah venue, her preparation for the course, in addition to her decision to not go through with the original plan of running the Ultra in New Jersey.

Be sure to follow Cali's adventures on Instagram, support her sponsors like HumanN (Use CSCHWEIK10), Spring Energy, and Beam CBD (use CALI15), and reach out if you are looking for fun and functional fitness coaching!

285. The Final(?) Bonefrog in New Jersey with Brian Carney!19 Jun 202201:05:32

After hearing that Bonefrog's event season was going to wrap up after their Charlemont, MA and Stanhope, NJ events this year Mike blocked off the weekend for the New Jersey event and registered for the golden trident course!

Bonefrog has been around for a while and offers a unique military feel to their course and festival area that other races do not. However, due to low registration numbers (which most OCRs are currently dealing with) and high prices to put on events (which everyone is dealing with), they announced that they will be pausing their events until things go back to normal.

Originally Katelyn was supposed to cover the event as media as Mike ran 3 laps of the course to earn his trident medal but she was needed as a last minute volunteer at bag check.  Due to this, all interviews were done after Mike had been thrashed on the course by the 60 obstacles in 9 miles.

We are wishing the staff and crew of Bonefrog luck on getting back on their feet, be sure to follow along for updates and support these struggling races!

Starting with OCR America back in 2016, Evan Perperis has been putting his body through insane ultra OCR challenges every year in order to fundraise, and see what he is capable of!

This year it was OCR Everest where he ascended the elevation of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) while taking on Tough Mudder obstacles at their New England event in Stratton, VT!

We had him on the call to discuss how the event went, how people can continue to help with the fundraiser, more information about his new book, and much more!

282. Matthew Gill on Newbsanity's Mud Gauntlet, Savage Series, and Toughest Mudder Philly!29 May 202201:07:09

When a name keeps popping up on podiums it starts to stand out, especially when we read podiums every week!  This is how Mike noticed Matthew Gill.

He took second at Newbsanity's Mud Gauntlet as well as second  at Toughest Philedelphia the following week.  It wasn't until after we reached out to him that Mike also noticed his name on the Savage Series leaderboard as well!

It was great learning more about him, his running backround with Newbsanity training is a recipe for success and we look forward to seeing more from him in the sport!

281. The Final Wason Pond Pounder with David Veale!23 May 202200:52:32

Mike has been aware of the Wason Pond Pounder for many years and we registered for their final event (planned for 2020) back in 2019!  Of course 2020 was a rough year for events to say the least and their event was postponed again in 2021 due to picking dates that would have been difficult for attendance (one of them overlapping with OCRWC I believe).

The final event finally happened though! We woke at 6:30am to make the trip up to New Hampshire to check out this small local OCR. We were not disappointed since the course was very well laid out, fun, and had some great obstacles for beginners to the sport!

We interviewed a few people in the festival area, the top finishers, a woman that we helped through the course, and then finish up with an event recap!

388. "Not Too Late", New Book By Gwendolyn Bounds!10 Jun 202401:26:57

In the past we interviewed Des Linden when her book "Choosing to Run" and doing so opened up options for future book related interviews!

Gwendolyn Bound's publicist, Brianna Kusilek, reached out to us back in April but it took us a while to find a time to release a potential episode with her.  Luckily we made room this week and Katelyn interviewed her for the show!

Katelyn and Gwendolyn talk about changing perspective on life, growing older, overcoming adversity, golden retrievers, and much more. Gwendolyn's book "Not Too Late" is available for pre-order now or in book stores June 18, 2024

If we want more attention given to the sport that we love, then we need to support books written about the sport we love! Check it out here!

279. We Watched Spartan Games Season 2 So You Don't Need To!10 May 202200:49:59

We had plans with a great OCR athlete to have them on the show for a Mother's Day episode!  Got a bunch of questions together that I have been coming up with over the years for her/him and was good to go ... but never heard back on Sunday.  So then we extended our availability for Monday ... and still haven't heard back.

So now our future backup idea for an episode became our current backup episode!

 The title is a bit much but it kinda gets the point across doesn't it?  It wasn't a complete dumpster fire but there were an insane amount of issues that would have been an easy fix.  We took notes while watching the show to prepare for a potential OCR Report episode that never happened so we go through those for this episode.  There are more thoughts in hindsight but hope you enjoy our ramblings on the second season of the Spartan Games!

We were torn on what to have this episode focus on.  We intended to have someone call in from the Tri-State Spartan weekend but Mike was much more interested in the GORUCK Games after following it closely last weekend.  Luckily the results of our Instagram poll helped direct our decision!

Jarrett Newby from Newbsanity took second place at the first GORUCK Games!  We talk about his training and preperation with Rich Ryan, his thoughts on how the competitions were run, and a reminder to check out his Newbsanity course, follow them on Instagram too!

Starting on May 1st he will be running from West Sacramento, CA to Ocean City, MD along route 50!  We figured this was an excellent reason to have him on the show and hopefully raise awareness to his 75 day fundraising challenge!

Be sure to follow along on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.  Also be sure to donate to his page here, we just did!

272. Is OCR Dying? The Final FIT Challenge with Robb McCoy!21 Mar 202200:55:13

It's pretty clear that OCR has taken a massive hit due to the outbreak of COVID back in 2020 but many were optimistic about a strong return after.  Unfortunately, things still aren't looking much better with low turnouts at many events, race brands rapidly downsizing, and from what we and other friends can vouch for a large hit to podcast listeners.

Robb McCoy from FIT Challenge has won awards from Best of OCR for his role as a race director, his race itself, and for the unique obstacles that are featured in them!  Yet due to the effect of low registrations, it is looking like this almost decade old OCR company will be coming to an end in 2023.

We had him on to talk about what he considered going into making this decision, what he believes it means for the sport of OCR, and his plans moving forward!

Be sure to register for the second to last of their OCRs, follow them on Instagram, and join their community on Facebook.

271. Nic Maszk on Spartan San Luis Obispo, TORC, and More!14 Mar 202200:47:29

Did you guys see that epic battle for 3rd place at Spartan San Luis Obispo?  We did, and we questioned "who the hell is that guy was with the bleached blonde hair who just beat out Hawk Call?".

Turns out it was someone who we have had our eye on for the past year thanks to The Obstacle Racing Collab, Nic Maszk (pronounced "mask")!  We had him on to talk about how he got into the sport, his experience competing at SLO, thoughts on Spartan's spear throw penalty, why he bleached his hair, and much much more!

Be sure to follow TORC on Instagram to keep track of Nic and his teammates!

We had yet another MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team athlete on the show, Vivien Tran!

We have been keeping an eye on her as an athlete ever since she joined their team and we have not been disappointed.  Some accomplishments are winning a Savage Race Axe, a Spartan Race, doing well in the Spartan US National Series, and achieving podium placements at many local events such as Abominable Snow Race, Mythic Race, and this weekend's ASCO Spartacus Dash!

We discussed how she found the sport, thoughts on the rest of the women's field, her experience in the sport so far, what she has planned for the rest of the year, the perks of being on a pro team, and much more!

267. Frigus with Scott Sweeney!14 Feb 202200:24:20

Frigus is a snowshoe race put on by The Endurance Society, a Northeast based event company run by Andy Weinberg.  Many OCR enthusiasts from back in the day know the importance of Andy but nowadays he is still a solid race director.

Speaking of OCR enthusiasts, I was able to have Scott Sweeney call in to talk about his experience at Frigus.  Scott is frequently a volunteer coordinator for races like FIT Challenge and Bonefrog.  Whether he is participating or playing a crucial role in the event, he is always a welcome sight.  Be sure to thank him for the work he does as an unsung hero.  Races can't happen without volunteers, and the volunteer coordinator is vital in getting them together to keep races running smoothly.

We had Aliyah Emas, the 3rd place female finisher of the Night Ops event on to review her experience during the dark and cold event!  She was the only athlete to podium during this event who isn't a member of Newbsanity so it was interesting to get her thoughts on their permanent course as well as their event hosting capabilities!

386. Hawk Call on Growing Up in OCR, Big Bear National Series Race, Preparing for Broken Arrow, and More!28 May 202401:08:05

When Hawk Call started getting into some big Spartan Races a few years ago it got a lot of us who have been in the sport for a long time pretty excited!  This is because many of us remember his father Hobie who is almost always in the conversation of who historically is one of the best men in the sport of OCR.

Hawk is his own own athlete though, and I didn't want to have him on the show just to talk about his dad.  It didn't take long for him to start to make a name for himself though, and it quickly became more of an issue of having an open weekend for the show and have him on for his own episode.

Following his recent win at the Spartan US National Series Race in Big Bear we realized that we had a couple weeks where we could be flexible with episode content so Mike reached out to schedule an interview!

We discuss what it was like growing up in the sport, his style of training and racinging, his thoughts on the 3K format, how his recent Spartan Big Bear race went,  nutrition, his preperation for the upcoming Broken Arrow Skyrace, where his athletic focus is, and much more!

258. Final Races of 2021 Recap and Giveaway Info!13 Dec 202100:25:44

Our last regular episode of the year!  We weren't sure what we were going to cover for this episode so we figured that we would do a simple recap of the two races that we did this weekend!

Saturday we drove an hour and a half to get to the Roseland Christmas Run in Woodstock, CT and Sunday we drove 2 hours for Yule Light Up the Night in Louden, NH.  7 hours of driving this weekend for small races ... priorities!

Also, to reward those who listen to this admittedly underwhelming episode (they can't all be OCRWC, WTM, or incredible athletes) we give a heads up about a giveaway that we will be doing in the next day or so!
