Podcasts about spartan ultra

When Mike was preparing to run his first Spartan Ultra he reached out to some elites to see who else would be there.  Joe Rucco explained that he was going to miss it in order to take on Toughest Mudder Atlanta ... well, he won it! We have had him on the show a few times in the past ranging from hybrid racing to World's Toughest Mudder and Spartan Stadium races but we never had him on for his own episode so we reached out to change that! You'll hear him talk about how he found the sport back in 2012, his love for both hybrid racing and OCR, how he balances his family life and training, winning Toughest Mudder Atlanta, a slight injury he recieved from a local race the weekend after, some events he has planned before World's Toughest Mudder at Belvoir Castle, and much more!

Part of being a weekly podcast and playing the role of media in a sport means that your own  athletic goals need to be put more in the background (Jason Dupree doing live streams for The OCR Report, Brakken Krakker recording and producing The Running Public, Matt B Davis heading Hybrid Fitness Media, etc.).  That being said, there are still a couple challenges left that Mike has been wanting to take on in the sport of OCR. One of them being wanting to try a Spartan Ultra Beast for the past 8 years, now just called the Spartan Ultra. Katelyn wanted to do an episode interviewing Mike about his first Spartan Ultra experience, he figured that it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as him doing pit by pit coverage of her first WTM which plan to be done in June.  As you can tell from the title though, he/I had my first DNF though so maybe that would be worth talking about for a bit. We are also supplementing the episode with a reRun of our 17th episode which covered Alex taking on his first Spartan Ultra Beast at the same venue in NJ back in 2017 so it's a bit of a hybrid release!

When life throws you into the deep end, how do you swim? Robert B. Foster, an obstacle course veteran, coach and host of the Shut Up and GRIND podcast joins me to recount his epic saga of transformation. Our conversation traverses the rugged terrain of Spartan races, where Rob has battled serious health setbacks and personal losses to emerge as a beacon of mental fortitude and confidence. His insights into the art of perseverance are not just about conquering physical obstacles but also about mastering the mental game that turns adversity into personal triumph.  We also discuss how elements of Spartan racing are eerily similar to those of Ultra Marathons and draw numerous parallels.The relentless hills and grueling obstacles of a Spartan Ultra become powerful metaphors in our discussion, illustrating life's unpredictable challenges. We share captivating tales from the course, including defying medical advice to pursue ultra-dreams, and the remarkable bonds formed amid shared struggles. Whether it's coaching a novice up a rope climb or enduring sleep deprivation and inclement weather, these stories underscore the emotional peaks and the sheer willpower needed to break through one's limits. This episode isn't merely about races; it's about the emotional and psychological transformations that come from tackling the insurmountable.Wrapping up, we get candid about the larger implications of these endurance battles.

ALL OF MY SPARTAN RACES/ULTRA BEAST ANS TRIFECTA FOR THIS YEAR ARE COMPLETE!!! UGLY, NASTY, INJURED BUT DONE!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/savage-lifestyle1/support

Thanks for your patience—life's been a whirlwind.   Let me dive into a recent personal journey: completing my third Spartan Ultra at Killington Mountain.   It's been a wild ride, filled with challenges and lessons.   Three years ago, my coach asked what fitness challenge inspired me, and I chose the Spartan Ultra.   Little did I know, it would lead to a deep bond with my friend Franco, as we both supported our wives through breast cancer.   This year's race was intense—cramps, early knee pain, and a fellow racer not playing by the rules.   His behavior triggered me, but I realized it was a mirror reflecting areas where I lacked honor in my own life.   A powerful lesson in self-awareness.   The race continued with strategy changes, a unique downhill running technique, and finally catching up to Franco to finish together.   It marked the end of my obstacle course racing journey.   I'm retiring to focus on spiritual mountains and guiding others through challenges.   The takeaway? Every trigger is an opportunity for self-discovery.   Look within and ask, "What is this person showing me about myself?"   "It is a sin to judge anyone by his post" - Saint Augustine     _REV. https://linktr.ee/storminreverendnorman  

On this Episode, Neil Murphy and I talk all things Killington Ultra! Neil has done every Spartan Ultra at Killington Vermont! We talk about pace strategy, fueling, and transition. We talk about the map, the climbs, the difference between last year's map, and this year's map. We talk about the bad weather that's rolling in, and much more. If you are doing Killington this weekend, or you're thinking about it in the future, you need to listen to this Episode!

After being thrown out of a Las Vegas hotel in a drunken haze, jeopardizing his career and relationships, Nick Klingensmith had to make a change. A 4-time cancer survivor, type-1 diabetic, and recovering alcoholic with 4 herniated discs, nerve damage, and sleep apnea, he defies it all when he finds Obstacle Course Racing. Refusing to accept his circumstances, he finishes numerous obstacle races, the Boston and Chicago Marathons, and the Spartan Ultra, culminating in 127 miles of endurance racing in 6 weeks. This isn't just a story about a drunk, diabetic cancer patient who overcomes adversity to become a mediocre, middle-aged athlete. His story focuses less on physical achievements and more on his mental and spiritual approach to overcoming life's challenges. Nick is a raw and passionate storyteller who holds nothing back when revealing who he used to be and the person he is now. The circumstances he faces show others that they are not alone and that they too can defy their limitations. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shutupandgrind/support

Today, I want to share a personal story with you. It's about a race I recently participated in, and it taught me some valuable lessons that I believe can apply to various aspects of our lives. So there I was, standing on Killington Mountain, ready to take on the Spartan Ultra race. It was a pivotal moment for me because I had failed to finish this race in the past, and I was determined to change that. As the sun was setting, I made it through the cut off on the side of the mountain, and a surge of disbelief and gratitude filled me. I couldn't believe I was still in the race after thinking I was done. As I continued on the trail, I met another runner who had also been enduring the challenges of the race. We formed a bond, silently supporting each other through the darkness. But as we approached a series of daunting obstacles, my companion expressed doubt about finishing. His words echoed in my mind, tempting me to give up too. However, in that crucial moment, I made a firm decision. I refused to quit. I knew that I had come too far and invested too much effort to back down now. I reached the sandbag carry where my battle buddy and friend were waiting for me. We cheered each other on, and with the obstacles behind me, I climbed the final rig, overcome with emotion and gratitude. Tears streamed down my face as I crossed the finish line, feeling an immense sense of accomplishment. I realized that I had never lost faith throughout the race, and it was this faith that carried me through. Reflecting on this experience, I discussed it with my wife, who had believed in me all along. We acknowledged the power of faith and conviction in our lives, drawing parallels to her own journey battling cancer. The experience reinforced our belief in the strength given to us by God. In a recent turn of events, I faced a significant setback in my career the night before my ordination as a reverend. Despite this challenge, I continue to run and train, holding onto faith and conviction, just as I did during the race. This journey has taught me the power of unwavering belief and trust in God, reminding me that we are all capable of overcoming obstacles when we have faith and conviction in our hearts.   "Never ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged.

Today I want to share a personal story with you. It's about my journey with fitness, overcoming obstacles, and finding a deeper connection with God. So let's dive in. Fitness has been such a significant part of my life for the past 12 to 15 years. It all started with my first Spartan Race, the Spartan Sprint, over a decade ago. I remember feeling incredibly nervous before that race. I mean, it was just three miles, but there were obstacles everywhere. I had trained hard, even joined a fitness program to learn the proper techniques for overcoming the various obstacles. We attended multiple training sessions before attempting the race. And let me tell you, it wasn't easy. Over the years, fitness has become a central aspect of my journey. It's not just about staying in shape; it's about striving for high performance in all areas of my life. The lessons I've learned through fitness have had a profound impact on my relationships, my work, and my spiritual connection. There's something special about those long training runs when I feel a deep connection to God, receiving guidance from the Holy Spirit. It's where I find solace and seek counsel for the challenges I face.   Take care of your spiritual life, your relationship with God, because this is the backbone of everything we do and everything we are. - Pope Francis   Blessings on your path,  Rev.

Also about the upcoming Fayetteville Ultra this weekend. I'm not a trained Coach, but I'm an experienced Spartan Ultra Runner. So, use any of this advice at your own risk! Lol
