Helene Dumais is a professional endurance athlete, coach and speaker. We chat about a race called Infinitus.  Helene explains about The Endurance Society and the Infinitus race events.  Helene Dumais ran 888k (which is about 550.6 miles) to become the first female finisher of Infinitus.  We talk about other races she had done in the past and how she trained.  We talk about the unique location and the terrain of Infinitus. Helene explains how she planned to be able to finish this HUGE race. I learned that it took her more than one try to make it the whole way. So we talk about the earlier attempts which were both epic attempts but not the full distance under the time limit. On her third attempt in 2018 she did complete the entire distance within the time limit.  We talk about the difference between different styles of ultra races including self-supported events.  She shares how she found the Infinitus race.  We talk about how she incorporates training into her everyday life.  We talk about what it feels like to finish this event. We talk about the mindset and mental strategies she used.  We also talk about recovery.  Helene Dumais was so committed to the mission of finishing this epic event that she also created a documentary about her experience. This is called Facing Infinitus.  “Life is like a race. We all have an Infintus to run in life. Beleive it is possible. Go one Step at a time.” - Helene Dumais You can find The Endurance Society and Infinitus here: https://www.endurancesociety.org/infinitus.html You can find Helene Dumais at www.helenedumais.com  You can find her on Facebook as Helene Dumais Adventurer The Facing Infinitus documentary is here: www.facinginfinitus.com You can find the full show notes and stream all the episodes of the Mile after Mile Podcast at www.mileaftermilepodcast.com and you can find the host, Amy Stone at www.amysaysso.com 

888km Infinitus finisher Helene Dumais joins Evan again for another episode but this time as a co-host.  The two of them talk to Northman Race's Sebastian Dion whose team won the 24 hour Platinum Rig World Championship in 2019.  Sebastian tells how he got involved in OCR, how he quit smoking (it's not what you think) and his experience at the event.  Helene adds in some further details about the event and they all share what else is on their calendar in 2020.    Episode brought to you by MudGear.  Our favorite OCR sock company just released a whole new line of products including Seatshield, lifestyle t-shirt and the new Ruck Sock.

As always this episode is jammed packed with helpful training strategies for your next obstacle course race.   In this episode I have a great interview with Helene Dumais from Platinum Rig Obstacle Relay Race World Championship.  This is an incredibly unique race and Helene fills us in with all the details.  To register or learn more check out the links section below.   In the inside Mike's mind segment I go over my thoughts in strength training for OCR.  Mark Rippetoe has a great quote, "Strong people are harder to kill than weak people and are more useful in general."  This is a comical quote but some truth to it.  We know that strength is important for your training.  But how strong do you need to be and are you even doing strength training?  I give my insights here.   In my research review I discuss the concept of Apnea, or breath holds, in training.  This study specifically looked at breath holding as part of a warm up, but I give insight on how you can apply this to your training, especially when dealing with races at altitude.   And finally I have on Tony Matesi, who just released his book, Legend of the Death Race.  As a lifelong athlete, Tony prioritizes health and wellbeing above all else and created the blog “The Legend of the Death Race” as a resource for Obstacle Race Training. Tony constantly seeks the next challenge and has competed at elite levels in Tae Kwon Do; gymnastics; competitive cheerleading; obstacle, endurance, and adventure racing; Ultramarathons; and spent ten years on stage performing as a lead ballet dancer in the Chicago Festival Ballet rendition of the Nutcracker. He has competed in three Spartan Death Races, placed 3rd at the San Diego Alpha Warrior, made it to the City Finals on American Ninja Warrior, created a Death Race training program, helped open the gym REACH Fieldhouse in Chicago, launched Spartan Endurance Internationally and brought the ultramarathon event SISU 24 Ultra to the Pacific Northwest.  In this interview Tony shares his insight on training for ultra distance events from both the physical aspect and mental.  He stressed the importance of developing relationships while racing versus being the long wolf.   He also explains how a key idea of the Nintendo game, The Legend of Zelda, can be applied to every day life.   All this plus much more...

Helene Dumais left home in Quebec, Canada after high school and began to travel the world in search of adventure. She packed her bags and headed for the French Pyrenees where she became a sommelier at twenty years old. While in France she found her love for adventure and at 23 she hiked 870K of the French Pyrenees solo!  That solo adventure would set the tone for a life of firsts and challenging physical pursuits. Dumais is a self-described; adventurer, athlete and coach today. Her love for the mountain, the outdoor, the adventure was there from a young age. In this episode, she talks about turning everyday chores into adventures growing up.  In the podcast, we chat about some of her record-breaking performances, why she is drawn to the long distances, and what is next on the horizon.
