| 399. Winning Toughest Mudder Chicago with Jenny Overstreet! | 27 Aug 2024 | 01:06:46 | |
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! 0:00 – 3:18 – Intro 3:11 – 16:55 – Quick News 16:55 – 17:32 – Content Preface 17:32 - 1:00:35 - Jenny Overstreet Interview 1:00:35 - End – Outro Next weekend we will celebrating episode 400 (with a live intro and outro which we totally didn't forget about until recording the outro) and will hopefully have one or two special guests who I have been wanting to have on the show for over 5 years! ____ News Stories: USA OCR National Championships Reminder I Am A Spartan Podcast Hit 200 Episodes Spartan Sprint and 100 Meter World Championship Money Obstacle Wonderland Looking for Spring 2025 Theme and Title Spartan Trifecta World Championships in West Virginia?

| 298. Fran Chiorando from The OCRWC Podcast! | 19 Sep 2022 | 00:52:47 | |
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! 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! 0:00 – 3:10 – Intro 3:10 – 12:44 – Quick News 12:44 – 13:14 – Content Preface 13:14 - 47:40 - Fran Chiorando Interview 47:40 - End – Outro ____ News Stories: Aaron Newell OCR Report Article Spartan Ultra Championships Cancelled Spartan Portland Sprint Results Worth Training For Secret Link Rock Paper Scissors Secret Link Beauty and the Beast Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 247.

| 297. Shawn Roberts on Savage Race Series, OCRWC, and More! | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:47:21 | |
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! 0:00 – 2:31 – Intro 2:31 – 7:29 – Quick News 7:29 – 8:15 – Content Preface 8:15 - 44:15 - Shawn Roberts Interview 44:15 - End – Outro ____ News Stories: Kris Rugloski Finishes Grand Slam of Ultra Running Deka Fit World Championships Qualifiers Spartan Killington Beast Podiums Spartan Killington Ultra Podiums Spartan Killington Sprint Podiums Aaron Newell Disqualified at Killington ____ Related Episodes: 247.

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. 0:00 – 3:24 – Intro 3:24 – 8:37 – Quick News 8:37 – 9:09 – Content Preface 9:09 - 1:06:57 - Rylan Schadegg Interview 1:06:57 - End – Outro ____ News Stories: Katie Knight Getting Into SwimRun Spartan Confirms Elite Waves in 2023 Potential Changes in Future Spartan Penalties

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!

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.

| 293. Spartan New England Super and Sprint with Elites! | 15 Aug 2022 | 01:08:45 | |
Mike went up to Louden, New Hampshire to cover the New England Spartan Super and Sprint. Since it was the weekend of his 10 year OCR anniversary he figured he would give the course a go as well and he is glad that he did!

| 292. Mike Stefano's 10 Year OCR Anniversary! | 07 Aug 2022 | 00:58:20 | |
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. 0:00 - 2:13 - Intro 2:13 - 10:07 - Quick News 10:07 - 10:32 - Content Preface 10:32 - 53:47 - Mike's OCR Experiences Over the Past Decade 53:47 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: BOTL's Last Minute Race Cancellation Joe DeSena's Apology to Prize Winners Savage Race Pennsylvania Podiums: Men and Women Toughest Mudder Indiana Men, Women, and Team Podiums Spartan Age Group US National Series Top 10: Men and Women Treadmill Color Race Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 61.

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

Their next event in New York City will also have prize money for the first time!

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! 0:00 – 2:30 – Intro 2:30 – 8:53 – Quick News 8:53 – 10:04 – Content Preface 10:04 - 17:57 - Robin Pisciotti and mayor's national anthem 17:57 - 40:06 - Tara Knapp from Gaylord, Beth Haydu from Achilles, Dana Martin and Sherry Dumiss, Jeff Hoyt, and Black Hog Brewing. 40:06 - 46:51 - Speeches and Awards 46:51 - 1:28:54- Mike Tubiak and David Alejandro, Rome Leykin, Diane Vitagliano, Mohammad Malek Sabr, Laurie Vizzario, Tim Kilbride and Kate Donohue, Shannon and Jess, Shay, Athletic Brewing, 24 Peace, and Dr. Steve Holland 1:28:54 - 1:35:00 - Mike and Katelyn Recap 1:35:00 - End – Outro Next weekend we plan to cover the Citi Field Spartan Race and maybe even have time to run it for the first time as well! ____ News Stories: Ida Mathilde DQ at European OCR Championships Deka Strong Coed Relay World Record Spartan Colorado Springs Ultra Podiums Spartan Tramblanc Beast Podiums Spartan Canadian National Series Tramblanc Super Podiums European OCR Championships Short Course Podiums European OCR Championships Full Course Podiums ____ Related Episodes: 331.

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.

| 285. The Final(?) Bonefrog in New Jersey with Brian Carney! | 19 Jun 2022 | 01:05:32 | |
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! 0:00 - 2:23 - Intro 2:23 - 10:19 - Quick News 10:19 - 11:31 - Content Preface 11:31 - 20:22 - Interviews with Ainsley Rogers (Bonefrog's registration director), Alyssa from Strong Together, and Reggie Walker 20:22 - 36:39 - Interviews with Brian Carney (owner of Bonefrog), and Amine Dib (founder of Hannibal Race) 36:39 - 44:13 - Gator Ride, audio from dips, burpees, and pull ups, as well as a volunteer rant 44:13 - 1:01:04 - Mike and Katelyn event recap 1:01:04 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: Asheville Spartan Venue Final Update Heidi Williams Back Surgery Recovery Ohio Savage Podiums: Men and Women Spartan Montreal Beast Results Spartan Montreal Ultra Results Spartan Montreal Super Results Spartan Montreal Sprint Results Spartan North American Series Leaderboard: Men and Women ____ Related Episodes: 72.

It wasn't until after we reached out to him that Mike also noticed his name on the Savage Series leaderboard as well!

| 281. The Final Wason Pond Pounder with David Veale! | 23 May 2022 | 00:52:32 | |
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! 0:00 - 3:24 - Intro 3:24 - 18:00 - Quick News 18:00 - 19:27 - Content Preface 19:27 - 28:10 - Fire Chief and Race Director David Veale Interviews 28:10 - 38:20 - Top Finisher Interviews 38:20 - 43:39 - Team Supendous and Derti Development Interviews 43:39 - 47:26 - Interview with Wendy and Mike and Katelyn Race Recap 47:26 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: Wall Street Journal Spartan Race "Cash Crunch" Savage Race Response to WSJ Article FIT Challenge Response to WSJ Article City Challenge Jersey City Podiums Spartan Toronto Sprint Podiums Spartan Nationals Park Stadium Podiums Toughest Mudder Philly Podiums Savage Pro Series Leaderboards ____ Related Episodes: 126.

| 279. We Watched Spartan Games Season 2 So You Don't Need To! | 10 May 2022 | 00:49:59 | |
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.

| 272. Is OCR Dying? The Final FIT Challenge with Robb McCoy! | 21 Mar 2022 | 00:55:13 | |
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!

| 386. Hawk Call on Growing Up in OCR, Big Bear National Series Race, Preparing for Broken Arrow, and More! | 28 May 2024 | 01:08:05 | |
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! 0:00 – 3:44 – Intro 3:44 – 9:50 – Quick News 9:50 – 10:26 – Content Preface 10:26 - 1:04:00 - Hawk Call Interview 1:04:00 - End – Outro Next weekend we plan to finally have one of our favorite Danes on the show for his own episode! ____ News Stories: Ultimate OCR Swedish Championship Podiums Toughest Mudder Philadelphia Podiums We're Powerlifters Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: The Running Public's Episode #77: Hawk Call ____ Patreon Supporters: Jason Dupree, Kim DeVoss, Samantha Thompson, Matt Puntin, Brad Kiehl, Charlotte Engelman, Erin Grindstaff, Hank Stefano, Arlene Stefano, Laura Ritter, Steven Ritter, Sofia Harnedy, Kenny West, Cheryl Miller, Jessica Johnson, Scott "The Fayne" Knowles, Anna Landry, Nick Ryker, Christopher Hoover, Kevin Gregory Jr., Evan Eirich, Ashley Reis, Brent George, Justin Manning, Wendell Lagosh, Logan Nagle, Angela Bowers, Asa Coddington, Thomas Petersen, Seth Rinderknecht, and Bonnie Wilson.

| 258. Final Races of 2021 Recap and Giveaway Info! | 13 Dec 2021 | 00:25:44 | |
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!
