Podcasts about ocr world championships

In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast we chat with IamFallfromGrace (@IamFallFromGrace) - an Australian Red Bull player, a professional Gamer and a prolific content creator. She certainly breaks the gamer stereotype – having recently competed in her first HYROX, in Melbourne, and in the past has taken on numerous fitness events, including competing at the OCR World Championships. In this chat, where we are also joined by her PT, Jeff Malone, we talk about her career, her experience at HYROX and the OCR World Championships, what it's like being a Red Bull Player, her tips around content creation, and lots more. It was a fun chat, and I hope you enjoy it!

We had Yaris Cruz on the show once before while doing interviews at OCRWC in 2021, having her on again for her own episode was long overdue! Yaris as an athlete is known to be a force to be wreckoned with whether it be OCR, ninja, or even hybrid racing.  We discuss her background in sport before finding OCR (or lack thereof), the importance of mental health as an athlete, how her position as the vice president of Puerto Rico OCR Association has changed her perspective on the sport, her thoughts on World Obstacle's OCR World Championships in Costa Rica, and much much more! Also, in a time where many North American races are having their final events, there are some new ones just getting started!  Race Ready Obstacles has been building obstacles for races and selling quality training equiptment to people for years.  This year they hosted their first obstacle course themselves, MidWest OCR and Yaris took the gold! 0:00 – 5:54 – Intro 5:54 – 14:15 – Quick News 14:15 – 14:48 – Content Preface 10:40 - 1:17:43 - Yaris Cruz Interview 1:17:43 - End – Outro Next weekend we will hopefully have an athlete on the show to talk about their experience at OCRWC! ____ News Stories: Matt Kempson Married Daniel Liszewski Married Kris Rugloski Wins Barkley Fall Classic Again Camille Herron Wikipedia Controversy Grand Teton FKT Rejected Tickets Up On Sale for Boston Run Show and Boston Outdoor Expo World Obstacle and Dubai Police OCR Deka Atlas First Details OCRWC Prize Money Breakdown Ida Mathilde Steensgaard Wins Hyrox Stuttgart MidWest OCR Podiums MidWest OCR Bearded Challenge Podium 1904 Olympics Secret Link VR Gym Secret Link Graduation Speech Secret Link Convicted Criminal Secret Link Mobility Games Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 249.

Join Matt Willis & Francesca Chiorando as they talk about 9 years of The OCR World Championships, as we come up to the 10th Edition in 2024. Matt Willis, a pro athlete and OCR Media personality, is one of the very few people (if not only) to have run not only every single OCRWC event, but also all of the NorAm Championships. They talk over each year, the highs and lows, each location, and why OCRWC is the premium championship event out there.

They've been around for ten years now, since the very first OCR World Championships, supporting our event, athletes, and even bigger, supporting vulnerable children around the world. OCR Gives Back is an amazing organization that supports children in need through play and sport. Steve spoke to us to talk more about what they do and how we can all get involved. Stay tuned for some big OCRWC news too!

In the year where there are two OCRWCs I figured it would be great to hear from someone who went to compete in both of them! Ian Hosek has been a prominent member of USAOCR for a while now and he made the trip over to Belgium to compete in the first FISO OCR World Championships.  More recently he competed in Spartan Race's OCRWC (man that's going to take some adjusting to) and took 2nd in the 3K, 2nd in the 15K, his men's relay team took 1st, and his coed team also took 1st! We talk about the differences between the two events, how he feels about his recent success in Mammoth Lakes, his feelings on the Tough Mudder Infinity in Saudi Arabia, and much more!

The 2023 World Obstacle/UIPM OCR Championships took place in Genk, Belgium, from September 14th to 17th.

Tune in as Seb David and Ian Hosek provide a detailed comparison of these two high-profile OCR events, highlighting the differences in course design, obstacles, and overall competition.

This year may have had FISO's first OCR World Championships but we still love Adventurey's weekend long OCRWC event as well!  The past couple of years we have had an episode before the event as a way to build up more anticipation for it, 2021 we had Veejay Jones on the show before event weekend, and last year we had Fran Chiorando on! Of course there was the news that came out about Spartan Race's aquisition of the event so we figured that Adrian Bijanada would be great to both answer community questions and build some excitement up for what will assuredly be an excellent weekend! We discuss what brought about this change, his role in the event weekend moving forward, the history of water obstacles in Adventurey's previous events, and much more! 0:00 – 2:26 – Intro 2:26 – 9:05 – Quick News 9:05 – 9:48 – Content Preface 9:48 - 39:29 - Adrian Bijanada Interview 39:29 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to have someone on the show from the 3K at Adventurey's ... uh Spartan's OCRWC! ____ News Stories: Spartan Race 2024 Medals City Challenge Race in Missouri Logan Nagle Engaged JaLisa Pregnant Amelia Boone Turned 40 Veejay Jones Go Fund Me for Car Tough Mudder Infinity in Saudi Arabia Spartan New Jersey Results (Super, Sprint, Ultra, Beast) Dubstep Breakdance Secret Link Middle Finger Secret Link Elderly Dance Secret Link AI Telephone Secret Link No Failure Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 199.

Admittedly, we were unsure how the first FISO OCR Championships would go after their history of not being able to put on a world championship event for years.  That being said the number of incredible athletes that showed up to Belgium to compete made this an incredible World Championship event! When looking through the results Gian Maria Savani stood out as both the winner of the short course, runner up of the standard course, and an athlete that we didn't know as much about.  We reached out to have him on the show to hear more about him and were thrilled to have him as this week's guest! We discussed how he got into obstacle course racing, which athletes he looks up to, the importance of discipline, and how his races went.  We also discuss some shortcomings of this event such as the overly complicated rule book, the continued lack of communication with prize money, there not being any drug testing, and  Be sure to follow Gian on Instagram and cheer him on as he takes on future events, like the upcoming Italian OCR Championship finals! 0:00 – 2:43 – Intro 2:43 – 15:58 – Quick News 15:58 – 16:32 – Content Preface 16:32 - 1:15:14 - Gian Maria Savani Interview 1:15:14 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to have someone on the show to build anticipation for Adventurey ... uh Spartan's OCRWC! ____ News Stories: Nicole Mericle Competing to Join USA Ice Climbing Team Nick Gagnon Finished Appalacian Trail Spartan Race Acquires OCRWC City Challenge Race Removed as Qualifier for OCRWC Spartan Athletes Are Still Waiting to Get Paid Paris 2024 is First Olympics to Have Equal Number of Men and Women The Hybrid Letter Tour de Donut Derti Development Facility is Closed Race Ready Obstacles Putting on The Midwest OCR 2024 Northeast Ultra Cup Viking Obstacle Race's Special Event for Bonefrogs Viking's Trick or Treat Obstacle/Night Run Event (Code: "ORA" for 20% off and chance for 2nd free entry drawn Oct 2nd) Spartan Seattle Beast, Ultra, Super, and Sprint Results Spartan Angel's Stadium Podiums FISO 100 Meter Podiums?

Spartan Race acquired the race known as the OCR World Championships, put on by Adventurey. Spartan Champion and OCRWC Champion Veejay Jones sat down with Matt B. Davis to discuss.

Many of the OCR community from back in the day remember Dustin Dorough!  Fast talker, excellent motivational speeches, and tearaway shorts ring a bell?  He's worked for Spartan Race, Terrain Race, Bonefrog, and more over the years so we start off briefly touching on his history in OCR.  For more of an in depth discussion though we recommend OCRWC Podcast's episode with him here! Much more recently Dustin completed an epic adventure journeying from the United Kingdom to Iraq on his motorcyle for a bunch of reasons!  These ranged from getting attention from the Dakar Rally community, seeing a friend, and more! We also have discussions about mental health since he has been very involved with helping many people over the years, is proudly neurodivergent, and he has had quite the near death experience. We hope you enjoy this episode and consider following his motorcyle specific account here. 0:00 – 3:32 – Intro 3:32 – 15:48 – Quick News 15:48 – 16:40 – Content Preface 16:40 - 1:59:00 - Dustin Dorough Interview 1:59:00 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to have an athlete on the show who competed in World Obstacle's OCR World Championships in Belgium! ____ News Stories: Rose Wetzel's Mom is Cancer Free Killington Bound Car Blow Up Orlando Deka Fit Podiums Spartan Washington DC Super Podiums: Men and Women Spartan Killington Beast, Ultra, and Sprint Results World Obstacle's OCR World Championships 3K Podium: Men and Women World Obstacle's OCR World Championships 3K Shared Podium Jesse's Post and Thibault's Post World Obstacle's OCR World Championships 15K and Team Podiums Chicken Riding Secret Link Cute Monkey Secret Link Hanging Gravitea Secret Link Broken Sunroof Secret Link Sportsmanship Finish Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 137.

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

Scottie Gillenwater has run hundreds of Obstacle Course Races over the last 4 years.  He competes in the "Elite" and "Age Group" divisions at Spartan, Conquer the Gauntlet, and Savage Races all over the country.  In 2020, right before the Covid-19 outbreak, he qualified to go to the OCR World Championships in Greece.   He shares his love of the OCR culture, his mindset before a race and how to run your best race.  Scottie's Post at one year sober: Decided to post this on a #medalmonday....I've discussed this photo already, but figured I'd do it here. This photo means a lot to me in so many ways. I have looked at this everyday since I took it and cant believe I've been running OCR for barely 9 months, hit that podium in 6 months, and I've podiumed in my last 4 out of 5 races. Everyone of those medals represents another goal I achieved in finishing that race. It also is a symbol of how hard I've work on myself to stay off Alcohol....its been 13 months since I stopped drinking. I believe OCR has helped me with that like no other factor other then myself. I dont drink, cuz I have to train....I dont party late Friday and Saturday anymore as I usually have a race the next day. This has helped me in so many other factors in my life..work, relationships, and just overall mental health. Obstacle course racing has given me goals and things to strive for. I'm very happy I found this sport, and so glad the community has embraced me like it has. OCR has opened so many doors for me and I am forever grateful @mudrunguide @spartan @bonefrog_ @savagerace@thunderdash_5k_mudrun @terrainrace thank you for all you do [01:45 Scottie explains what is Obstacle Course Racing?[04:00] summary of differences between family oriented beginner races vs. Elite course[07:30] The unique culture of obstacle course racing.09:30]  Scottie's “I run my race” mindset [11:20] Explanation of the Elite divisions of OCR. [12:50] Explaining the Bucket of Failure at the Savage Race18:05] BoneFrog Elite race honoring fallen Navy Seals Soldiers [21:30] Why Scottie got into Obstacle Course Racing[30:01] Story of the guy who gets stuck of an obstacle[36:04] What's next for Scottie in 2022? [41:05] Scottie's perspective on the journey he's been on and his purpose.[43:00] Scottie talks mindset on the day of the race and his competitive edge.[44:30] “Keep your pace, keep your race”[46:30] What he learned from the failure he had at an OCR in Georgia.[51:12] Recommendations to listeners who might want to try OCR - Do Pull Ups![53:40] Outro and Mantra Labs sponsor - a great stocking stuffer. Connect with Scottie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottie_g413

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

As always the Underground SGX Show is providing you training tips and advice to improve your next Spartan Race. In this episode, discover a cool calculator for determining your training pace for your runs.  Instead of just randomly going for a run, this calculator tells you the exact pace you should be hitting, based on the specific training adaptation you are trying to improve. We also discuss lactate threshold.  Discover what it is and why you need to know about it.  Plus we review some of the research on lactate threshold training and how you can improve it if you want to be a better racer. And in our SGX Coach's interview I have on Coach Stephanie Lozon.  Coach Lozon is a former RN turned trainer and OCR coach.  She works with many Masters athletes helping them prep for racing and helping them stay injury free.  Coach Lozon has helped her clients prep at the OCR World Championships maximizing performance and longevity. In this episode she discusses how she helps her seasoned athletes stay fresh and healthy for the long haul.  She give great tips on how you can train for the elements.  And she provides a great template to help you divide your training plan into different phases to help you peak for your most important races.  We even touch on the importance of the deload and how so many are increasing their injuries and decreasing their performance, but not implementing this crucial component.   Full Show Notes: www.spartanunderground.com/episode-20
