Podcasts about obstacle running adventures

We have done OCR eulogy episodes in the past but never a eulogy episode on OCR podcasts! Mike used his first hand experience, Podchaser, and his own podcast app to find as many podcasts as he could find whether dead or alive.  He compiled the show names, descriptions, hosts, how many episodes released, date range of the show, and personal thoughts and experiences where applicable! There are well over 50 OCR podcasts discussed but apologies if we missed some.  We are a 2 person team and this took a pretty decent amount of time to put together.  See the shows mentioned in the time stamps below!

Season 3 Episode 7 In this episode Jayybone sits down with a fellow former upper classman Mike Stefano from Cardinal Spellman. I need to mention how we know each other and the school we've come from along with a tease of my ten year reunion happening on September 11th at Waterclub in Marina Bay. After catching up and seeing what's been going on throughout the years we find out why ive had Mike come on the show today. Mike is actually also the host of his own podcast called Obstacle Running Adventures. Started in 2012 Mike explains how he left his comfort zone only to find out where he was most comfortable which you wouldn't believe is in obstacle courses. Not only does this podcast slap because of the interviews he does with notables of course racing but because he also has experience as well. In this you'll hear about specific courses, the battles and injuries he's over come along with his training and recovery time. If you listen to todays podcast you will have a shot at the movie Hammer of the Gods. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jpbc369/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jpbc369/support

Spartan has officially purchased Tough Mudder! This is the biggest news in the OCR industry since the OCR industry became a thing approximately 10 years ago. We open the episode with a brief discussion of the Spartan/Tough Mudder purchase story so far. It has been an emotional journey. This past weekend was the first race of the 2020 Spartan US National Series in Jacksonville, Florida. Ryan Atkins and Lindsay Webster took home the wins for the men and the women. On today's episode, we talk with the top four male finishers about their race in Jacksonville. We will talk with the top female finishers in future episodes. (Note on that below). Each man we talked with had a slightly different take on the race, and we talked about slightly different topics with each one. Ryan Atkins commented on OCR and social media during the off-season. Veejay Jones also touched on social media and the lengths people go to document their workouts. Ryan Kempson talked about his one-second win over Ryan Woods for 3rd Place and Ryan Woods talked about the non-controversy that was his Herc Hoist. We need your help! Today is a LONG episode with four separate interviews. The top women from Jacksonville will each have shorter, individual episodes. Would you prefer one longer episode or several shorter episodes?

We start the show with a quick update on Spartan's potential purchase of Tough Mudder. It might happen, but the Tough Mudder co-founders are blocking the deal. If a deal doesn't happen, Tough Mudder is being forced toward bankruptcy by vendors they failed to pay in 2019. --- While Tough Mudder struggles to keep the lights on, Spartan continues to expand its fitness offerings. Yancy Culp has developed Spartan's newest program debuting in 2020: DEKAFIT. Yancy joins us to talk about what DEKAFIT is, what it is not, and how it is different from the CrossFit Games and Hyrox. One big difference: Anyone off the street can compete in DEKAFIT without having to learn new movements or new motions. Everyone knows how to throw something or push something. No one needs special training to learn how to run a lap on a track. Yancy is excited about removing that barrier to entry that might typically discourage the first-timer from competing. ---   Welcome to The OCR Report Podcast!  We are the only podcast to focus exclusively on the Elite SPORT side of Obstacle Course Racing.

Mike Stefano from Obstacle Running Adventures joins Jason Dupree on a live stream where they discuss the possible buyout of Tough Mudder by comparing the founders of Tough Mudder and Spartan. You can find the live stream on our Youtube page to see all the fun graphics that were on the screen.

Spartan sent out a press release on Christmas Eve announcing they have acquired an option to purchase the majority of Tough Mudder's international operations. The press release is below.   As of December 26th, there has been no actual transaction between Tough Mudder and Spartan Race. We reached out to Spartan and Tough Mudder for more information on this possible transaction. Tough Mudder was unavailable for comment.   Joe De Sena joined us to talk about how the option purchase came to be and how the relationship between himself and Will Dean, the co-founder of Tough Mudder has changed over the years.   Will Spartan buy Tough Mudder? Would that be good or bad for Obstacle Course Racing? Let us know what you think in a review on Apple Podcasts.   --- Spartan Race announced the acquisition of an exclusive option to acquire Tough Mudder's UK, Canadian, and German events today, as the first step in an effort to bring together a complete merger of the two obstacle course race leaders.  Tough Mudder events in those countries would continue to be operated by the same team and under the same brand, to be a part of the larger Spartan family of brands and events.  Tough Mudder associates and participants in the UK, Germany and Canada will be able to continue on with their Tough Mudder adventure. “This is a goal we've had for some time,” said Joe De Sena, Spartan founder & CEO. “Tough Mudder UK, Canada & Germany bring a unique experience and putting the success of the two together strengthens our global mission of getting 100 million people off the couch.” Under Spartan ownership, Tough Mudder UK, Canada and Germany races and events would focus on teamwork-based non-competitive festival events, leaving the competition to the Spartan side of the business.  “I look forward to creating a lasting partnership with Will and Guy as we seek to complete the merger,” De Sena said. “I'm excited about the prospect of what we can do together, as one team." Spartan will continue to work with Tough Mudder's founders, Will Dean and Guy Livingstone, in efforts to complete the acquisition and renewal of Tough Mudder's US-based events and operations in the coming days. ---   Welcome to The OCR Report Podcast!  We are the only podcast to focus exclusively on the Elite SPORT side of Obstacle Course Racing.

Nicole Mericle is your 2019 Spartan Race World Champion.    This is Nicole's first world championship. Nicole and Lindsay Webster have been going back and forth all year in the Spartan US Championship Series and at the Spartan North American Championship. Nicole and Lindsay are clearly the top two women in Spartan Racing right now. Lindsay has won most of their head-to-head matchups this year, but in the race that mattered most, Nicole Mericle stepped on the gas and won by nearly 16 minutes.    Nicole's win at the Spartan World Championship this weekend was one of the most dominant World Championship performances we've ever seen, male or female. Her world championship places her alongside other past world champions including Lindsay Webster, Zuzana Cucomova, and Amelia Boone.   We talk about how she was scared in the starting chute at Tahoe, why she comes out of the gate so fast at every race, and what her plans are for the Spartan Race Million Dollar Challenge.   Nicole is sponsored by Darn Tough Socks, Spartan Race, and AltRed.   You can follow her on Instagram at @nickeldm.    ---   Welcome to The OCR Report Podcast!  We are the only podcast to focus exclusively on the Elite SPORT side of Obstacle Course Racing.

Johnny Luna-Lima had the race of his life this weekend at Spartan Big Bear. He beat Ryan Atkins and the field for his first win of the 2019 Spartan US Series Championship and his first podium at a US Spartan Race ever. With his second-place finish Ryan Atkins has all but guaranteed he will win the 2019 Spartan US Championship when the final points are totaled after the upcoming final race in the series. On the women's side Lindsay Webster held off Rea Kolbl and Nicole Mericle for the win and moved into sole possession of first-place in the US series. Lindsay Webster and Nicole Mericle have won every race in the 2019 US Series Championship. With her third-place finish Nicole Mericle finds herself 24 points behind Lindsay Webster. Although she is technically behind Webster, due to the point structure of the US Series, she will be able to pass Webster in Utah for the series win as long as she does two things: 1) Finish no worse than 4th. 2) Finish ahead of Webster To state it simply: If Nicole Mericle can beat Lindsay Webster in Utah, she will become the first woman not named Lindsay Webster to win the Spartan US Championship Series. Lindsay Webster has won the series every year since it's inception in 2016. If Lindsay Webster beats Nicole Mericle in Utah she will defend her title and become the four-time defending champion of the Spartan US Championship Series. --- Welcome to The OCR Report Podcast!  We are the only podcast to focus exclusively on the Elite SPORT side of Obstacle Course Racing.

On the women's side it has become a two-person race. Lindsay Webster and Nicole Mericle have separated themselves from the field and are both positioned to take the series win with two more strong races. However, the Big Bear venue seems to be tailor-made to fit the strengths of Rea Kolbl.  This will be a great weekend of racing in Big Bear.

Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook this weekend to watch the race as it happens. Jack says to expect more dominance from the three-man combo of Ryan Woods, Ryan Atkins, and Robert Killian and look for Mark Batres to join those men in the upper group of male athletes. On the women's side he says to expect three new women to join the top five of 2018, but still plan on Lindsay Webster showing why she is the three-time winner of the US Championship Series. --- Do you think you know who will win Jacksonville?

Amelia Boone and Kris Mendoza join us to talk about the recent announcement that Tough Mudder will no longer offer prize money to top finishers at World's Toughest Mudder and their other races. Amelia Boone is a Spartan Race world champion and a three-time champion of World's Toughest Mudder. She has been a part of the OCR community since running in the very first WTM in 2011. With her TV commercials, magazine covers, and endorsement deals she is the most high-profile athlete, man or woman, in Obstacle Course Racing. Kris Mendoza is the 2018 champion of World's Toughest Mudder. He won the closest race in WTM history by passing 2016 champion Trevor Cichosz with less than one mile to go in the race. Mendoza finished the race with 100 miles, his second time breaking the 100-mile mark at World's Toughest Mudder. --- Welcome to The OCR Report Podcast!  We are the only podcast to focus exclusively on the Elite SPORT side of Obstacle Course Racing.

Tough Mudder announced they will eliminate all cash prizes for all their race brands in 2019. This includes TMX, Tougher Mudder, Toughest Mudder, and World's Toughest Mudder. We talked with two-time women's champion Rea Kolbl to see what she thought of the decision and if she would defend her title as women's champion at World's Toughest Mudder. Rea WILL NOT race World's Toughest Mudder this year. She gave us her reasons and talked about what OCR races and non-OCR races she will run this year. We also held a panel discussion with Will Hicks, Heather Bode, and Katelyn Ritter about Tough Mudder tightening the purse strings. There was agreement that this is bad for the elite side of the sport but there are possible silver linings for those that are not full-time professional athletes. They also made a few guesses about how this decision may play out over the next several months. What do you think about Tough Mudder removing prize money? Let us know in a review on Apple Podcasts.

Jack Bauer joins Will Hicks to discuss the men's field for the 2019 Spartan season. Topics include the first race of the year in Socal, the US Championship Series and the point structure for 2019 and the 2019 Spartan Race World Championship at Lake Tahoe, California.

When Championship season starts, he says you can be sure to add Jon Albon to that mix. Jack also talks about some new names to keep an eye on and breaks down exactly how much money Ryan Atkins would have lost last year if the 2019 US Series point system was used in 2018.

Jack Bauer joins Will Hicks again to discuss the women's field for the 2019 Spartan season. Last year there were five women who dominated the Spartan US Series. Jack says this year there will be six women fighting for the podium each week. The six women to watch this year are Lindsay Webster, Faye Stenning, Rea Kolbl, Alyssa Hawley, Nicole Mericle, and newcomer Rebecca Hammond. Jack also talks about the dominance of Lindsay Webster.

The last event of the weekend of World's Toughest Mudder is called "The Bar Crawl". It's not called that because people crawl from bar to bar though. It's called the Bar Crawl because everyone is so sore, they have to crawl to get to the bar. Or at least that's the story we heard from our first guest this episode. We are joined by six guests we talked to at the bar crawl the night after World's Toughest Mudder 2018. J.D. Allen is an Atlanta local and veteran of multiple World's Toughest Mudders. He shares his thoughts on this years version of the race. Mike Stefano and Katelyn Ritter are the hosts of the Obstacle Running Adventures podcast.

Trevor Cichosz is the men's 2016 World's Toughest Mudder Champion. During his win in 2016 he became one of the seven men to run 100 miles in a single World's Toughest Mudder and joined the exclusive "Orange Jacket Club." Trevor recently ran 219 miles in a race across Scotland. During the 65 hours it took him to run, he did not sleep at all. He won the race.  One interesting part of Trevor's race strategy is he makes sure his pit crew does NOT tell him standing in the race. He doesn't want to know what place he is in. This is part of his plan to "Race the course, not the competition." ---  The OCR Report is live!

Kris Mendoza is one of the seven men to run 100 miles or more at World's Toughest Mudder. Kris is coming off his biggest Tough Mudder win ever, a 45-mile performance at the eight-hour Toughest Mudder in Norcal last month. Kris passes along advice he received from the 2016 WTM Champ Trevor Cichosz. "The race doesn't begin until midnight." Spend the first 12 hours of the race running your own race and not worrying about what place everyone else is in. Don't burn yourself out early. Once midnight hits is when the racing happens. --- TheOCRreport.com is live!

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!

Scott Brown may be the greatest OCR athlete to come out of Scotland. We haven't seen him at World's Toughest Mudder lately, but he is making his return this year in Atlanta. Scott ran World's Toughest Mudder every year from 2012 to 2015. His best year was 2015 when he finished with 80 miles and 5th Place overall. His 80 miles was the best finish by a European that year. After a two-year hiatus, Scott is ready to take on WTM again. Look for him near the top of the leaderboard. --- TheOCRreport.com is live!

Tyler Nash has ran in every World's Toughest Mudder. "And walked in them too" he says. He recently completed the Moab 240, a 240 mile race in Moab, Utah and that experience has changed his outlook on World's Toughest Mudder. Tyler had a rough 2017 at WTM. We like to say we talk about "success and failure at the greatest event in OCR". Tyler is very honest about his race last year and the regrets he has. Following the success of his recent 240-mile race, he has a whole new outlook on running "just" 24 hours. --- TheOCRreport.com is live!

This is Episode #100 of World's Toughest Podcast! Thank you for listening! Celebrate with us by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts! Amelia Boone has dominated World's Toughest Mudder like no other woman ever. No other woman has won World's Toughest Mudder more than once. Amelia has won it three times. Only three people have won back-to-back individual titles at World's Toughest Mudder. Amelia is the only woman to do it, in 2014 and 2015. Amelia is the most high-profile athlete in the history of OCR. She talks in this episode how that still sounds odd to her. She started out the same way everyone starts out, running a Tough Mudder with her friends. Amelia talks about how WTM is a special race to her and how much she hates to miss it this year. She says to pencil her in for 2019. --- TheOCRreport.com is live! Check out the new website from the people behind World's Toughest Podcast, Overcome and Run, and Obstacle Running Adventures.
