It wasn't until after we reached out to him that Mike also noticed his name on the Savage Series leaderboard as well! It was great learning more about him, his running backround with Newbsanity training is a recipe for success and we look forward to seeing more from him in the sport! 0:00 - 2:52 - Intro 2:52 - 7:34 - Quick News 7:34 - 8:02 - Content Preface 8:02 - 1:02:30 - Matthew Gill Interview 1:02:30 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: OCR Everest Ultra OCR Fundraiser Athletic Brewing at Buffalo Wild Wings Indian Mud Run Rucking Event?

Allison is another amazing, inspiring human who is not only an entreprenuer and owner of VANCITY OCR ninja gym in Vancouver, BC, she also has the most Toughest Mudder Podiums on the planet, more than any other man or woman, with 7. 7 podiums including 3 wins! In the past six weeks or so, she has been in Australia where she competed and won the 2018 OCR World Championship Enduro 24 hr race and Australia's Toughest Mudder, came back to Vancouver and finished second in Toughest Mudder Whistler and then hopped a plane to Boston where she won Toughest Mudder East (40 miles)! I'm exhausted just writing that! We talk about her accomlplishments in racing, being a mom, motivation, training, her battle with PTSD after a horrific bike accident and how she overcame all of those obstacles to race and continue to compete as an elite athlete! Allison's website is http://vancityocr.com and you will hear how passionate she is about the gym and the kids and people that that train there, it's amazing! You can find her on social media as yo mama so fit and I know that you will be inspired after listening to my conversation with the amazing Allison Tai! Thanks, Brad

Morgan Mckay joins us to talk about Toughest Mudder East taking place this weekend near Boston. Morgan won 3rd Place at World's Toughest Mudder 2016. She was on pace for another podium finish at World's Toughest 2017 when she was injured coming off an obstacle. She was medically disqualified and unable to complete the race. One month after that disappointment she ran the first ever Spartan Race 24-Hour Ultrabeast in Iceland and finished in 1st Place. We talk about her injury, Iceland, and her recent Guinness World Record for fastest 10k while carrying 100 pounds. Morgan will be competing against OCRWC Enduro-24 Champion and fellow WTM vet Allison Tai at Toughest Mudder East. We talk about the course, the obstacles, and the weather for the race weekend. --- 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.
