Michelle Ford and I also ended up talking a bit about van life as she and her husband are finishing up over two weeks on the road running obstacle races and ultra marathons.

Michelle Ford is one of three people and the only woman to win a podium at World’s Toughest Mudder and TMX. Those other two? Ryan Atkins and Hunter McIntyre, two of the indisputably best athletes in OCR. Michelle finished in third place at TMX Sacramento recently. TMX is a one-mile race combining classic Tough Mudder obstacles with functional fitness stations such as box jumps and pull ups. Michelle talks about her experience at TMX and talks about why the sub-20 minute race was more miserable than the entire 24 hours she spent at World’s Toughest Mudder. --- World's Toughest Podcast is excited to partner with Merrell again to give away a pair of shoes every month to listeners of the show.
