Ryan Atkins has won World's Toughest Mudder five times. He is the only man to win the individual title more than once and he has done it three times. He has also won WTM as part of a four-man team and as part of a two-man team. He holds the record for most lifetime WTM miles AND most miles at an individual WTM. Ryan Atkins is the greatest World's Toughest Mudder athlete ever. This year Ryan will be competing in the Team Relay division with Ryan Woods, Brian Gowiski, and his wife, Lindsay Webster. This will be Ryan's first time in the Team Relay category. Ryan says the single greatest quality an athlete at World's Toughest Mudder must have is "Stoke and Desire". The race WILL get hard. It gets hard for everyone, even him. If you don't really want to be out there, and you don't have that Stoke or that Desire, the race will spit you out every time. It won't matter how much planning you do, and how many spreadsheets you prepare, and how dialed-in your nutrition plan is. If you don't have that Stoke and Desire it will all fall apart for you. --- TheOCRreport.com is live!

Brian Gowiski, the first place elite male from last weekend's Greek Peak Spartan Race, joins me on the podcast this week to talk all about that Winter Sprint, World's Toughest Mudder, and all sorts of OCR topics from training, to strategy, to his goals for this year. Brian starts by telling me all about how he got into OCR and how he focused on Battlefrog races when he began, as their emphasis on grip strength played into his proficiency at upper body obstacles. We then talk about Greek Peak, and Brian tells gives me a recap of the race, from the competition, to the conditions, to how the obstacles were affected by the snow. This leads us to a discussion about training in the elements, from cold and snowy to hot and humid, and Brian shares what he prefers. We then talk about World's Toughest Mudder 2017, where Brian and his team placed first in the relay category. We discuss how his team formed, and what their strategy was for tackling the relay format. We reminisce about the obstacles on the course, and speculate about this year's WTM race in Atlanta, and whether he will be running solo or in a team. Lastly, we talk about his goals for this year, and chat about Savage Race, OCRWC, and what the competition will be like.
