We are very proud of the number of guests that we have had on the show over the years.  A big name in the sport of obstacle course racing that we hadn't gotten around to yet was Garfield Griffiths though! With the news of him no longer being a race director over at Spartan Race, effectively ending his 12 year old career of race directing for brands such as Battlefrog, Savage Race, OCRWC, and Spartan itself, we figured that it would be a good time to reach out and have him on! We talk about the changes that he has seen in the sport over the years, lessons learned in race directing, favorite race venues, his love for cigars and bacon, and how his position in the company has changed. We also discuss fun facts like him being the creator of Savage Race's "Wheel World" obstacle and what he wanted to call it, his history of spinning recorrds at the first ever Ultra EDM show, and how he started a Facebook group for dad jokes that now has 45 thousand members. 0:00 – 3:27 – Intro 3:27 – 4:58 – Quick News 4:58 – 5:37 – Content Preface 5:37 - 1:00:30 - Garfield Griffiths Interview 1:00:30 - End – Outro Next episode will hopefully be an athlete who we have had an eye on for months! ____ News Stories: Beer Mile Film Kickstarter Epic Volleyball Secret Link Easy Pushups Secret Link Funny Funeral Secret Link Honda Accord Secret Link Rainbow Waterfall Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: I Am A Spartan Podcast's Episode 154 with Garfield Griffiths!!

With the second ever Savage Race Point Series having its start right around the corner we wanted to have a member of the event team to build up some anticipation for it! Luckily Lee Stowell was the man for the job!  We talk about his background in the sport (which involves working for Battlefrog, Bonefrog, and even Frontline OCR), the changes made to the point series, how the team is dealing with criticism on their new obstacles, the balance of course difficulty, plans for the future, and much much more!

BattleFrog launched in May of 2014 and held 6 races which were universally applauded. In 2015, they produced 15 events and a television show on ESPN. In August of that year, they announced a massive jump to 44 races nationwide. A few months later was the infamous Fiest Bowl sponsorship, and 25 races into 2016, they were out of business.

And my story is a testament to this.I started in the fitness industry when I was only 18 years old, and I knew that it was where I belonged.  I had always been into fitness and enjoyed being active throughout  my whole childhood. I was involved in Martial Arts, Wrestling and Football throughout high school and was generally a very physical person.I have been in the field for 26+ years and plan to stay here for many more.  While I always enjoyed my work and was successful with it, I was not as passionate then as I am now.  The passion didn't come until much later.  The passion came through the most painful loss I have ever experienced…the death of my mother.It was my mother's life: her sacrifices, support and guidance that made me the man I am today.  It was her death that birthed a passion in me.  After I lost my mother, I had a renewed sense of purpose; I vowed that I would make her proud.  It was during this painful season that I realized that I was put here to help others, to guide others to be their best selves, and to continue striving to be my best too.My parents were always an anchor for me.  They raised my siblings and I to be the best we could be, instilling  a deep faith and the principles of Respect, Love and Discipline; principles that I apply to everything I do even to this day.  After my mother's death, my father became a beacon for me.  He demonstrated a great strength even through great tragedy.  He inspires me to push through the pain and grow stronger through difficult situations.Since then, I redefined my purpose.  I became more passionate about helping others to reach their goals, but even more I longed to help them evolve into their best selves.  I work with clients to help them move forward towards their future instead of dwelling on the past.  One of my favorite analogies of this evolution is when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.  After the butterfly emerges from the cocoon, he never goes back to being a caterpillar.  Once you start living as your true self and growing into your best self, you don't go back to who you used to be.Since this awakening, my path has led me towards many great career opportunities.  I have worked as a Spartan SGX trainer and had the incredible honor of giving motivational speeches at Spartan and Battlefrog events along with at the OCR World Championships.   I have spoken to groups of first responders and to youth at schools.  When I speak, I do not write a script, I speak from the heart and in the moment.  My hope with each motivational speech is that I connect to the hearts of the audience, that they will be able to feel my energy and passion and that it will ignite something inside of them too!  I view every speaking opportunity as an honor and an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.As far as training goes, I have developed my own unique style that represents who I am as a fitness coach.  I have built the foundation for my training on my years of experience with various approaches.  My training sessions are all about functional movement, but I am constantly changing things up to keep my clients interested and challenged.  This style is not for everyone, but those who want to be pushed and who want to become mentally tough as well as physically strong love my combination of movements and motivation.Ultimately it has been the painful situations in my life that have grown me the most.  It is because of my loss and my struggles that I have become who I am today.Who am I?I am confident.I am humble.I am hungry.I am eager.I am ambitious.I am hard-working.I am willing to do what it takes.I am Coach Pain.MY EXPERIENCEI have over 26 years of experience in the fitness industry and as a motivational speaker.Some of my professional accomplishments include: Motivational Speaker Fitness Coach Nutrition Specialist NPC 2011 Midwest Ironman Physique American Ninja Warrior Participant – 2011, 2012 Jeet Kune Do & Wrestling Background (12 years) Naval Special Warface Orientation Course Instructor Announcer and Motivational Speaker For Spartan Race and BattleFrong Series

BattleFrog is remembered for both good and bad by those who ran it when it was around!  With the next incarnation of the event planning to resurface and the initial comeback weekend being this weekend, Mike figured that he would have his good friend CJ on the show to talk about running the event back in 2015! This is a simple episode reminiscing about the old days in OCR and doing commentary on our GoPro event video that Mike made years ago! We do not go into specifics of the past and future of the event as it wasn't really the goal of this episode. Here are some articles for additional information about the initial launch of Battlefrog, the BattleFrog Fiesta Bowl, and the cancelling of all future events. BattleFrog X continues to try to continue with their relaunch when Will Hicks interviewed them earlier this year but we aren't optimistic at this time due to Garfield Griffiths returning to be exclusively a Spartan Race director, and the overall lack of communication from BattleFrog X lately.  That being said, we would be happy to be proved wrong! 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 5:56 - Quick News 5:56 - 7:32 - Content Preface 7:32 - 39:20 - Reminiscing Battlefrog with CJ O'Connor 39:20 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: Pheonix Race in Mississippi not Missouri Will Hicks Interviewing Julie Wolff of Phoenix Race KC Timber Challenge Notre Dame Spartan Cancelled Michigan Spartan Cancelled Daniel Romanchuk Cliff Bar Des Linden 50k World Record Aaron Newell Surgery Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 1.

For a brief period in 2016 they were the third largest OCR company behind Spartan Race and Tough Mudder, until they suddenly closed up shop overnight. From the time they closed, a running joke in the OCR industry has been "Do you think Battlefrog is coming back?" Finally, the answer is yes. Garfield Griffiths is a long-time and well-respected member of the OCR industry. He has worked with The CrossFit Games, Spartan Race, Savage Race, OCRWC and the first incarnation of Battlefrog. He is the new Chief Operation Officer of Battlefrog. He joined the show to talk about what Battlefrog did right in the past, mistakes they made, and why Battlefrog 2.0 is set up for long-term success. --- Review today's show and we will read it on a future episode.

Join Travis Sims (The AGC Experience Host) as he takes the rare opportunity of his own podcast to share the importance of practicing Thankfulness & Gratitude. In honor of Thanksgiving this week I'm sharing a sneak peek into a topic I covered with my Travis Sims Mastermind Coaching Group. It sometimes feels hard to be thankful or grateful when so many things are going wrong. Especially this year with Covid-19 and so many families are separated at Thanksgiving. Start with the small things. Be grateful for waking up, be thankful for the bed you sleep in, the person beside you, the roof over your head. In this podcast you will discover how to have that attitude of gratitude and great ways to practice it daily. ~  Travis Sims is a Networking Expert, Motivational Speaker, and Thought Leader committed to helping you become a better person, leader, and networker.

Join Travis Sims (The AGC Experience Host) as he takes the rare opportunity of his own podcast to share the importance of diversifying your network with diversity inclusion. Many times people tell me they're networking. When I dig a little deeper, I find out they are meeting with the same 20 people every week. People that look like them, people that think like them, and they think they're networking. When I ask how many women business owners are in their network, how many African American business owners, how many Latino business owners, how many business owners in different generations, how many state wide, national, and international people they're networking with they soon realize they have only begun to network.  ~  Travis Sims is a Networking Expert, Motivational Speaker, and Thought Leader committed to helping you become a better person, leader, and networker.

Join Travis Sims (The AGC Experience Host) as he takes the rare opportunity of his own podcast to share the importance of neutral politics in business. Tomorrow Tuesday November 3rd 2020 is Election Day in the United States. Tension is high and people are very vocal about their chosen candidate.  We've all heard the terminology “Stay Politically Correct.” This is still true in this moment. When you vocally choose a side, it cuts off 50% of your referrability. Staying one sided will could cause the other side to completely boycott you, your business and they can even be vocal to their friends as to why they will no longer do business with you. Now if your political views out way your need for income by all means go ahead. However, most businesses can't afford to make this costly mistake/ ~  Travis Sims is a Networking Expert, Motivational Speaker, and Thought Leader committed to helping you become a better person, leader, and networker.

I spoke with elite OCR athlete Alexandra Walker this week all about her experience at TMX, Toughest South, and how she trains to keep up with the elite field. Alex tells me how she got started in OCR, how and when she started training competitively, and what it's like to have Yancy Culp as her personal coach. That leads us into a short discussion about the importance of coaching when it comes to training. She shares with me her experience at TMX in Sacramento and what it was like being in the "pain cave", and she talks about the transition between TMX and then Toughest just a few weeks later. I ask her to compare the competition between short races and endurance races, and to compare an ultra marathon to an endurance OCR. Alex tells me about what distance she considers her speciality and why, and shares some tips about how to prepare for wet obstacles. Lastly, she tells me what some of her favorite races are, and we naturally talk about the epic Battlefrog rigs.

As a former emoloyee of Battlefrog (the famous race series gone bankrupt) Beni was able to secure a call with the new CEO Brian Parker to talk about the return of the froggy race before the press releases begin next week.

Jeff is also committed to personal, at home challenges especially the 22 Push-Up Challenge that involves pressing out 22 push-ups a day for 22 days to promote awareness for veteran suicide prevention along with honoring military service members and veterans.  Last year Jeff organized a 3-day ruck event to spread awareness for the Green Beret Foundation.  He is a motivational person and hopes to be an inspiration to others not only today but also in the future.

In this episode I talk to Beni Gifford. We cover a ton of things from winning the Spartan:Ultimate Team Challenge, to being a Yancy Camp Athlete. Beni shares with us how he got into elite obstacle course racing. He clears up the misconception that BattleFrog is coming back with a TV show, and we discuss what really led that business to fail. We talk in great detail about Spartan:Ultimate Team Challenge, and some of the behind the scenes details that you may not have thought about when watching the show. He also put out publicly for the first time that he will be on this upcoming season of Broken Skull, and is applying to be on American Ninja Warrior. Make sure you are following everything we are doing by taking a look at our Instagram, Facebook and joining our mailing list!

Anyone who has participated in a BattleFrog event has had the opportunity to get a dose of Coach Pain's inspirational saber rattling words. Some will not soon forget how he moved them. It was by mere coincidence that our interview was scheduled on the day that BattleFrog announced that they are suspending all future events effective immediately; clearly, a shock to those who loved to compete in these events, more of a shock to those who were employed by the organization. All the same, Coach Pain and I held true to our words; we answered questions that people posed and were offered a seemingly final bit of inspiration from the man who touched so many in the sport of Obstacle Racing.

Nearly all Obstacle Course Events include a heavy carry component and even those that don't require hill climbing ability. These training challenges are best approached outdoors and typically best conducted by mimicking the actual challenge.  Where am I going with this you might ask? In this episode I have the pleasure of sharing some of my training tips with Crystal Seaver, Master Trainer for Wreck Bag, a product produced by Lindonfitness.com. If you participate in Spartan Races, Battlefrog events or even World's Toughest Mudder, you will benefit greatly by employing the workouts I share in this episode. If you don't own a Wreck Bag and having been trying to build a make-shift carry tool, you're being penny thrift and a pound foolish. If you've been thinking about a purchase, listen to this episode and take notes! I'll tell you how to develop explosive hill climbing/bag carry power. www.naturalrunningcoach.net 

On today's show we talk with two of the top men at BattleFrog Series. Kevin Jones is an engineer by trade, but two months ago, he joined the ever growing list of OCR fans turned OCR employee. On his drive from Ohio to Miami, he stopped by the ORM offices to chat with Matt about it. Learn about his start in OCR, and the wild ride since that has led to him becoming the Chief Marketing Officer at BattleFrog. Next up is a call with BattleFrog CEO Ramiro Ortiz. (Kevin joined for this call as well). Matt first talked to Ramiro when Mr. Ortiz took over from Don Mann last year.  Now seemed like to be a good time to catch up to see things have progressed, or not, at BattleFrog. They discuss attendance numbers, this year's ESPN shows, and new cities for next year. Today's show is sponsored by: CMC Race – The Civilian Military Combine is back.

Dans cet épisode, entrevue exclusive avec Marc-André Bédard qui nous donne tous les détails sur la Battlefrog de Trois-Rivières et ses 60 obstacles. Avec: Sebastien David Bonne écoute!

In this episode I talk to BattleFrog Pro Team member and course designer Marco Bedard. Marco talks about his time training for and competing in the Olympics. We discuss his transition to OCR, how it has been competing at an elite level with BattleFrog, and what its like and what he is trying to do as a course designer.

Because I see so much of this malady among the athletes I meed I decided to revisit this interview done with Dr Brian Abelson, author or a great book on understanding and the treatment of Plantar issues. In order to resolve this pesky injury you first need to understand the culprit that is responsible. If you are an Obstacle Racing athlete, planning to participate in a Spartan Race or BattleFrog and have been plagued with Plantar Fasciitis, you really need to hear this!

In this episode I talk to Ashley Samples, with a little cameo from Dustin Radney. We cover her upcoming first race at Conquer the Gauntlet, what happened at the most recent Battlefrog she ran that sparked an article on Obstacle Racing Media, and her races all over the world. 

Cette semaine au podcast, nous discutons de la saison de course trop chargée, des heures de départ, des tours multiples, de la nouvelle gamme de prix de Battlefrog. Nous avons également Tom Bédard en studio qui vient nous parler de ses courses de l'été et du Fest de 3-Seconds avec Mathieu Tourangeau, Mathieu Drugeon, Marie-Claude Labonté et Tom Bédard. Bonne écoute!

When training for a marathon or your next Spartan or Battle Frog event, you are facing a running related injury, what do you do? The most common diagnosis is Overuse and Tendonitis as a result. In this short episode, Richard Diaz, Elite Running Coach and host of The Natural Running Network, sheds light on the true culprits behind running related injuries. If you finding yourself battling with reoccurring injuries and its getting in the way of your training and racing, you would be wise to listen to this episode. You may find that your remedies and diagnosis are inappropriate.  What's really wrong may surprise you! 

When I first heard that a 9 year old girl had completed a 24 hour BattleFrog obstacle race it was revealed to me in a blog post written by Ekaterina Solovieva, aka., “Solo”, herself a seasoned adventure/obstacle racer/psychologist.  Her catchy title: “A 9-year old completed a 24-hour obstacle race and why I am not impressed”.  I had to better understand why someone would “go there” and needed to dig into this topic simply because, well… it's just really interesting. Anyone one who is or has raised children must be curious.  Is this a good or bad idea, should race promoters allow this to take place? Lots to think about and we tried to cover it from all angles.  If you care to read the blog for yourself here is the link to “Solo's” Blog page: www.solovieva.com/not-impressed/

In this episode I talk to Garfield Griffiths, the man behind many of the great races you have already ran, and likely will run. Garfield talks about his new project, bringing back the Civilian Military Combine. Additionally we talk about his work with Savage Race, Battlefrog, and his current work with the OCR World Championships. 

In our 17th episode, JT annihilates a Battle Frog obstacle course race while Walter gets his boxing matched canceled. Then we tell you about our everyday carry items before we jump into School of the Boat where we discuss submarine weapons. Finally we wrap everything up with the news.

A proper diet can mean the difference between winning and losing races. If you have poor feeding habits, you risk sacrificing your health; you will struggle with your training and may not race at an optimal weight. Matt Fitzgerald is arguably one of the most studied authors on the topic of endurance related nutrition. He has traveled the world studying the eating habits of the top endurance athletes and what he shares on the subject of winning feeding strategies may surprise you. Have you turned into a Vegan? Are you on a carb restricted diet and hope to perform well in endurances events? Those who hope to perform their best in a marathon, Spartan Race, Battle Frog or World's Toughest Mudder would do well to heed the advice offered in this episode. Racing weight matters… are you sacrificing your strength to make weight or are you of the mind that muscle trumps slight of build?  Tune in for some interesting views.

Battle Frog is quickly becoming the OCR Series of choice among discerning competitors in the world of Obstacle Racing. Christopher Acord is Battle Frog's chief architect/Race Director, fondly nicknamed “The Beard” for obvious reasons.  We thought it was time to reach out to Christopher to gain some insight into the planning and development of “the other OCR events”. This interview was highly enlightening and for those who have never competed in a Battle Frog Event, this is clearly a show you don't want to miss!

I invited Stew Smith former Navy Seal, who spent eight years in the SEAL Teams and an instructor at the Naval Academy Physical Education Department. He has also been showcased on National Geographic's “Fight Science”.  Stew demonstrates his ability to perform tactical exercises under the most extreme of conditions.  An incredibly disciplined athlete and warrior, Stew is an expert in dealing with harsh cold environments. I asked him to share his experience and tips on staving off hypothermia and staying sharp while racing over obstacle courses.  If you want to be competitive in OCR, Spartan or Battle Frog events and don't deal well with cold, you don't want to miss this amazing interview. Racing Cold - The Battle with Hypothermia.

Cet épisode est en anglais car les invités sont anglophones. Ryan Atkins pourrait faire un entrevue en français, mais comme les deux autres ne pourraient pas suivre... Nous avons donc choisi de faire le tout en anglais. Nous vous fournissons une transcription en français assez fidèle, pour vous aider a suivre notre conversation. Bon épisode...   DEBUT DE LA TRANSCRIPTION Bernard:   Salut amateurs de courses a obstacles, ici Bernard Parent pour un rapport d'après course du Beast du New Jersey qui vient d'avoir lieu ce 18 avril.   J'ai eu le plaisir d'y courir personnellement, mais encore mieux, j'ai eu la chance de passer en entrevue certains de nos meilleurs compétiteurs Canadiens.     Voici une entrevue rapide un à un avec Jesse Bruce de Alpha Obstacle Training, juste après avoir terminé ma course, donc environ une heure après qu'il ait fini la sienne.     0min 57sec          DÉBUT DE L'ENTREVUE AVEC JESSE BRUCE   Bernard :   OK alors je suis avec Jesse Bruce, juste après le Beast du New Jersey, et je voulais avoir tes impressions. Bruce, comment as-tu trouvé le parcours aujourd'hui?   Jesse :     Le trajet était… le trajet était vraiment bon, j'ai vraiment aimé le terrain, les collines, les montées et les descentes, les sections en sentiers plus denses. C'était difficile et exigeant avec des pentes abruptes. Mais c'est ce que je voulais car je croyais que ça nous préparerais bien pour… ça me rappelle les courses que nous avons dans l'est du Canada, donc c'était une bonne préparation pour celles-ci. C'est encore loin d'approcher le Beast du Championnat du Monde de Killington l'an passé mais c'est un bon début de saison, les pentes étaient difficiles, les descentes étaient très techniques. Alors c'était une très bonne pratique pour un début de saison.   Bernard :   Bien, donc es-tu content de tes résultats?   Jesse :   Ben non… Je suis content de ma course. J'ai trouvé les obstacles très faciles, à l'exception du transport de charge dans les seaux. Monter cette charge était très exigeant, mais à part ça j'ai trouvé qu'ils étaient tous faisables.   Bernard :   Le Rig n'était pas si facile.   Jesse :   Non le Rig était ridicule comparativement au PlatinumRig, il était très facile. Et puis je suis content de ma performance et de comment je me suis senti dans les pentes mais je ne suis pas content de mon résultat, car je trouve que le trajet n'était pas très bien marqué, nous sommes sortis du parcours à quelques reprises. J'ai eu une sortie de parcours sérieuse moi-même, j'étais sur un sentier et ensuite dans une pente, seul sans un marquage en vue alors j'ai dû faire demi-tour et remonter une pente ce qui m'a fait perdre environ 5 minutes et toutes… enfin ça m'a couté au moins la quatrième place sinon une chance à la 3e place. Mais d'avoir Ryan Atkins ici qui remporte la première place, suivi de deux membres de la Spartan Pro Team américaine en 2e et 4e, j'étais pas mal fier de moi d'avoir couru à leurs côtés, donc je suis content de mon résultat, je vais l'accepter.   Bernard :   Tu devrais être fier mec, t'es super!   Jesse :   Oui, je veux toujours être sur le podium pour le Canada, mais aujourd'hui je n'y suis pas arrivé. Mais c'est correct on va se reprendre, aujourd'hui c'était la première course de plusieurs cette saison, donc…   Bernard :   Bien sûr, on se reverra mon homme, merci.   Jesse:   Oui on se revoit bientôt mec, le 17 mai Spartan Super.   Bernard :   Oh oui!     3min 24sec FIN DE L'ENTREVUE     Bernard :   Pour vos commentaires SVP écrivez-nous sur Facebook.   Voici l'entrevue principale, version table ronde, avec celui qui domine tout ces temps-cis , Monsieur Ryan Atkins qui a terminé premier a cette course. Sa fiancée Lindsay Webster qui a terminé 4e, seulement après s'être perdue pendant un moment et Jesse Bruce qui n'a pas besoin d'être présenté.     3min 51sec DEBUT ENTREVUE TABLE RONDE     Ryan :   De quoi voulez-vous parler?   Lindsay :   Je suppose qu'on est supposé parler de la course! Parle-nous de ta course Ryan.   Ryan :   La course était bien aujourd'hui. Au début moi et Chad Trammell du Spartan Pro Team.   Bernard :   Tu pars juste en malade par exemple après une minute du départ, tu es déjà 2x plus loin que moi!   Ryan :   Oui on est juste parti sur le coup de départ. Mon ami Ryan Kent, m'a dit qu'il était pas mal rapide, alors on a commencé à courir ensemble et on verrait… J'étais en avance, mais il travaillait fort pour ne pas me lâcher, il respirait super fort, ensuite nous sommes arrivé à l'épreuve d'équilibre sur billots, il est tombé du billot, j'ai continué, et ensuite je pas n'ai plus vu qui que ce soit.   Bernard :   Est-ce que tu ralentis un peu quand tu arrives à cet obstacle?   Ryan :   Quoi les billots? Ah oui! Ça vaut la peine de prendre 5 secondes de plus.   Bernard :   Je suis d'accord je fais pareil mais je me demandais si c'était le cas des plus rapides.   Ryan :   Tout à fait, je crois que Jon Albon l'a manqué au championnat mondial, c'est surprenant combien de gens n'ont pas d'équilibre. Aussi je pense que quand tu arrives essoufflé c'est plus difficile.   Lindsey :   Ou quand tu essaie de le faire trop rapidement.   Ryan :   Et puis le reste de la course était super, j'avais du plaisir, il y avait des moments où je me sentais bien et je poussais et a d'autres moments je prenais ca plus relaxe, je courrais jusqu'aux fleurs disons, en gambadant.   Bernard :   Ben, tu es tellement loin en avant.   Lindsay :   Il nous fait se sentir bien…   Jesse :   Quel arrogant.   Lindsay :   C'était ton genre de course par contre. Avec les pentes et les sections difficiles.   Bernard :   Oui, c'était bien, avec les sentiers étroits, avec des pentes de ski mais pas trop.   Ryan :   Oui, beaucoup de sentier très dense.   Lindsay :   Ryan est vraiment bon à ce genre de trucs.   Ryan :   Je crois que j'ai environs 1200m d'ascension sur ma montre donc 4000 pieds, alors une quantité raisonnable de grimpe pour un 20km.   Lindsay :   Je crois que nous sommes prêts pour la Caroline du Sud la fin de semaine prochaine. Les pentes.   Ryan :   Battlefrog, oui. Je crois que les obstacles étaient particulièrement faciles à cette course, la poulie était facile, le transport du sac de sable était court et léger. J'étais… quoi vraiment c'est tout?   Bernard :   Pour moi le casse couille était vraiment la corde de tarzan à la fin. Pour Jesse aussi. La corde s'est retrouvé entre mes jambes et quand j'ai voulu retomber, le nœud m'a juste remonté…   Jesse :   Ça m'est arrivé aussi!   Ryan :   J'ai balancé une fois, j'ai remarqué que la corde était entre mes jambes, alors je me suis laisser retourner de l'autre côté pour pouvoir me dégager et rebalancer, donc je me suis balancé 3 fois.   Lyndsay :   J'ai été chanceuse, les volontaires m'ont averti. Ils ont dit, mets tes jambes d'un seul côté.   Ryan :   Ce n'est pas évident avant d'y être.   Bernard :   Ils m'avaient averti aussi, mais j'ai voulu prendre la corde si haute que j'ai sauté et en sautant mes jambes se sont écartées et voilà, la corde était entre les deux.   Ryan :   Alors es-tu tombé?   Bernard :   Non, non, mais ça a fait mal quand j'ai atterri.   Ryan :   C'est drôle, et vous comment était votre course?   Lindsay :   Jesse et moi avons eu le même problème.   Ryan :   Vous êtes tous deux sorti du tracé?   Lindsay :   Oui nous sommes tous les deux sorti du tracé un peu alors…   Bernard :   Est-ce que vous blâmez le marquage? Ou vous étiez juste trop concentrés?   Ryan :   Un peu des deux.   Jesse :   Principalement ma faute, quand j'ai remonté j'ai fait ah les voilà! Je pense que… Il y a des sections qui sont très bien marquées, tu t'attendrais presque à ce que tout le trajet soit comme ça. Car comme, surtout la partie ou je me suis pris était un vrai sentier, donc je l'ai pris et ensuite tu ne fais que la suivre.   Bernard :   Je suis d'accord que c'était inégal. Il y avait des sections ou c'était clair que tu allais tout droit mais il y avait signe après signe.   Jesse :   Oui parce que tu t'attends avoir des signes et tout d'un coup tu n'en vois plus. Il faudrait qu'il n'y ait pas de signes donc tu chercherais les marquages ou bien marqué. Mais c'est ma faute, j'aurais pu les voir. Il y en avait genre 5 en plus.   Ryan :   Il y a quelques endroits où... Je suis très concentré en permanence pour les signes. Et quelques fois j'arrivais à un endroit et je ne pouvais pas voir les marquages avec le soleil dans les yeux, ou le signe était juste par-dessus une section rocheuse. Il y a eu plusieurs fois où j'ai vraiment du ralentir.   Bernard :   Oui je l'ai vécu aussi quelques fois, normalement il y a quelqu'un devant moi que je peux simplement suivre mais.   Ryan :   J'étais complètement seul.   Lindsay :   Pour moi c'était en fait, genre les volontaires qui m'ont dit d'aller du mauvais côté. Oui, je crois qu'ils ont envoyé comme 20 d'entre nous de ce côté, je sais que j'ai vu d'autres coureurs qui disaient qu'ils avaient eu le même problème. C'était aussi ma faute par contre, genre j'aurais du savoir. Il y a des pancartes qui donnent la direction, je ne regardais pas, alors je courais dans les bois où ils accrochent des banderoles, donc tu ne sais pas si tu vas dans la bonne direction ou tu pourrais aller à l'envers, mais alors nous sommes sortis du bois et avons réalisé que toutes les flèches pointaient vers l'arrière et on a compris que…   Ryan :   Oui, il faut être prudent, ce n'est pas parce qu'on suit quelqu'un qu'ils sont sur le bon chemin.   Lindsay :   Exactement, mais je ne suivais pas vraiment qui que ce soit, comme j'étais en deuxième place alors j'étais seule et deux autres filles me suivaient… Je me demandais, j'ai l'impression d'aller à l'envers mais je n'ai pas réagi à cette impression donc ça m'apprends que je dois faire confiance à mes instincts.   C'était correct, Jesse et moi avons tous les deux dit que c'était amusant de rattraper les gens pendant le reste de la course pour essayer de revenir.   Bernard :   Bien sûr, rattraper c'est amusant.   Ryan :   Jesse combien, pendant combien de temps es-tu sorti du tracé?   Jesse :   Probablement un bon… je dirais au moins 4 minutes, je suis descendu pendant un bon bout  et je me suis retrouvé sur une pente de ski et même là je regardais partout je ne voyais pas de drapeaux, alors je me suis dit @#$%^ où est-ce que je suis. Et j'étais genre merde ensuite j'ai fait demi-tour et je suis revenu sur mes pas. C'était chiant car j'avais une bonne avance. J'ai pris de l'avance sur Miguel aux billots, et il est aussi tombé du… j'étais au sommet et je l'ai entendu… j'avais une bonne avance et il est aussi tombé de ce…   Bernard :   La traverse?   Ryan :   Ah oui le Rig.   Jesse :   Oui le Rig, le genre de Rig…   Bernard :   Oui il était un peu patenté.   Ryan :   Oui un peu.   Lindsey :   Alors tu étais 3e c'est ça? Tu sais à quelle position tu as terminé?   Jesse :   J'étais 5e, alors je l'accepte. Et il semble que le 6e était loin…   Ryan :   As-tu manqué des obstacles Lindsay?   Lindsay :   J'ai manqué le javelot car j'ai marché sur la corde. Je pense qu'il aurait rentré alors… ça m'a rendu heureuse. J'ai appris, je vais m'en rappeler pour la prochaine fois. Et ensuite le Rig aussi.   Jesse :   Les cordes sont poches car tu ne peux même pas voir quel javelot tu veux, j'en ai eu un tout courbé alors tu essaie de t'assurer…   Lindsay :   Oui il n'est pas droit.   Bernard :   Redresser l'embout n'est pas trop dur, mais le manche de bois tout croche est…   Jesse :   C'est pour ça que dans l'est du Canada tu choisis, les plus neufs, les moins sales…   Bernard :   Je ne suis pas convaincu que cette année ils ne seront pas avec un corde aussi!   Jesse :   Quoi?   Bernard :   Je ne suis pas convaincu que nous n'aurons pas de ficelle au Canada également. Car tu sais je suis passé proche de tuer un volontaire l'an dernier, il était derrière la botte de foin sur la droite, j'ai tiré sur ma cible, un tir parfait, j'ai touché le bois derrière. Le gars était juste derrière la suivante, il a crié, Je ne l'avais pas vu, si il avait été devant les bottes je n'aurais pas tiré là, mais il était derrière, je ne l'ai pas vu.   Lindsay :   Il faut qu'ils gardent ça sécuritaire aussi, ils ne peuvent pas avoir des gens qui marchent derrière pour aller chercher les javelots.   Bernard :   S'il y avait comme sur la gauche ou sur la droite ils pourraient fermer la droite pendant qu'ils nettoient, mais les cibles une à côté de l'autre, pas si facile.   Jesse :   Je trouve que, bien, c'est seulement la deuxième fois je les vois avec la corde mais ils avaient l'air plus proche. Même chose au Championnat l'an dernier.   Ryan :   Pourquoi penses-tu avoir manqué le Rig?   Lindsay :   Tu sais, je crois que  c'est parce que… au début c'était la barre et ça allait, et j'ai fait les deux premières cordes qui étaient pendues et ça allait, mais je pense que j'ai fait l'erreur de déplier mon bras, et une fois qu'il est droit c'est difficile de remonter, tes bras doivent être a presque 90º, quelque part entre droit et à 90, parce que les cordes étaient si courtes que si tes bras sont droits et que tu ne te balances pas c'est difficile d'atteindre la suivante.   Jesse :   C'est bon, tu peux presque mettre tes deux mains, parce que, je n'étais pas sûr car je ne l'avais jamais fait alors j'ai gardé les bras a 90, juste pour être certain que je pourrais traverser parce que j'ai raté le tarzan…   Bernard :   Oui je fais toujours l'erreur de garder mes bras droits et je garde assez d'inertie et ça avance facilement, mais j'ai perdu mon élan et c'était terminé…   Lindsay :   Oui je crois que j'y pensais comme a des Monkey Bars, ou tu peux juste garder les bras droits mais…   Ryan :   Je suis presque tombé des Monkey Bars car elles étaient toutes à la même distance et j'ai juste pris le rythme, et puis l'avant dernier était juste un peu plus loin alors j'allais l'agripper mais comme je répétais le rythme, je suis venu pour l'attraper et juste eu de l'air et j'ai fait wow, alors j'ai jeté un coup d'œil, il était juste assez loin environ 8 ou 10 centimètres plus loin que les autres.   Lindsay :   Oui, il n'était pas égal, certains étaient plus hauts que les autres.   Ryan :   Oui, ça allait, c'était juste la distance.   Lindsay :   C'était bien j'ai plutôt aimé.   Jesse :   Oui c'était amusant, je l'ai trouvé vraiment facile, parce que tu n'avais même pas besoin de te soulever a 90, tu pouvais rester allonger tout le long.   Bernard :   Ok, bien, merci beaucoup à vous. C'est quand la prochaine fois qu'on pourra vous voir en courses à obstacles au Canada? Je sais que Jesse sera au Super à Tremblant.   Ryan :   Je ne pense pas que je peux me rendre à Tremblant, je pense que j'ai…   Jesse :   Tu as le 17 mai à Atlanta, Battlefrog.   Ryan :   Jesse connais mon horaire mieux que moi…   Jesse :   C'est parce que mes chances de gagner augmentent énormément quand Ryan n'est pas là.   Bernard :   Oui, je comprends tout à fait. Donc tu attends simplement le courriel qui te fournit ton prochain billet d'avion, non?   Ryan :   Ouais.   Jesse :   Seras tu à Toronto?   Ryan :   Je serai certainement à Toronto.   Bernard :   Oui, on t'y a vu l'an passé.   Jesse :   Nous allons faire un gros party chez Alpha Obstacle Training, c'est alphaobstacletraining point com.   Bernard :   C'est correct.   Ryan :   Pub gratuite… J'aimerais pouvoir allez faire ces courses à Tremblant car j'ai fait des courses en vélo de montagne à cet endroit depuis 6 ou 7 ans maintenant. J'ai fait la coupe Canada l'an dernier. C'est tellement une belle montagne et j'aimerais y courir mais ça ne semble pas vouloir fonctionner.   Jesse :   Tu ferais un malheur, car j'ai l'impression que le Super de l'an passé était plus dure qu'ici.   Bernard :   La dernière montée était un petit rappel de ça, oui.   Ryan :   La dernière montée?   Bernard :   La dernière montée ici était un petit avant-goût de Tremblant l'an passé.   Lindsay :   Oui, c'était abrupt.   Ryan :   J'aime ça par contre, comment ils nous font venir près du début/fin et nous font remonter.   Bernard :   Je ne suis pas surpris mais je suis d'accord.   Ryan :   On a regardé le plan du parcours avant donc je savais que ça s'en venait. Mais je ne savais pas à quelle hauteur ils allaient nous renvoyer.   Bernard :   Je suis d'accord je ne savais pas à quelle hauteur on allait remonter. Alors Lindsay, c'est quand la prochaine fois qu'on te verra sur une course a obstacles?   Lindsay :   Je serai à Toronto, aussi. Je serai… ou Ryan sera.   Bernard :   OK, donc je vais avoir besoin d'y aller aussi.   Ryan :   Oui je suppose.   Lindsay :   On se verra la bas!   Bernard :   Bon, merci beaucoup à vous.   Lindsay :   Merci!   Ryan :   Pas de problème   16m 3sec FIN ENTREVUE   Bernard :   C'est tout pour cet épisode, merci encore à mes invités qui ont été si généreux avec moi. Ce format spécial en anglais est quelques chose que nous referons quand l'occasion se présentera. Maintenant si ce n'est pas déjà le cas, sortez dehors et préparez-vous pour votre prochaine course.      

Canadian Ryan Atkins is scorching the Battle Frog racing series, coming off of his second Toughest Mudder World Championship win where he covered over 95 miles in 24 hours! He is now setting his sights on the Spartan World Championships at Lake Tahoe this fall. Richard Diaz catches up with him to discuss training, running technique and all things to do with Obstacle racing as an elite pro. Obstacle racing is the hottest endurance sport in the world today. There is a whole new influx of amazingly talented athletes who are vying for top spots in the world rankings and Ryan has proven to be a force to reckon with.

Training and racing for obstacle races such as Spartan, Atlas, Tough Mudder and Battle Frog places unique demands on an athlete.  These events require the ability to perform at far greater intensity than preparing for a marathon.  Richard Diaz and his guest Dr. Harry Pino, a renowned sport scientist discuss these demands and the program written by Richard Diaz tailor made to prepare these athletes for the rigors of these intense competitions that he has justifiably named “The Dark Side”Lactate Tolerance Training for high intensity running
