247. OCR World Championships 3K with Elites!

Obstacle Course Racing World Championships is next weekend!  I'm excited and I figured what better way to build excitement on the show than to have one of the best OCR athletes in the world on to talk about it. Veejay Jones was my first choice as he is someone who I have only had the privilege of talking to at previous NorAm events and he is both easy to talk to and likely to do very well in the upcoming 3k.  He also put some solid work into his Black Forest OCR training facility.  This was recorded last week so if there are any out of date comments made then that is why. 0:00 - 3:31 - Intro 3:31 - 13:39 - Quick News 13:39 - 14:12 - Content Preface 14:12 - 45:52 - Veejay Jones Interview 45:52 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: Spartan Pass for 2022 Spartan Kissimee Sprint Podiums: Men and Women Spartan Midwest Beast Podiums: Men and Women Deka FIT New Jersey Podiums: Men and Women Spartan European Championship Podiums: Men and Women Empowered Obstacle Barn Podiums: Men and Women Phoenix Race Tennessee Podiums: Men and Women Spartan Midwest Sprint Podiums: Men and Women Cerus Luv Podiums: Men, Women, and Ruk Mik Gerylo Spartan Red Deer Disqualification Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 84.

243. Muddy Buffalo Recap with Michael Kantor!

Mike's most anticipated local OCR event finally happened!  FIT Challenge and Newbsanity teamed up and created an OCR Extravaganza that appears to have a bright future! We drove about 5 and a half hours to get to Binghamton, NY and as expected it was worth it!  In addition to running a lap of both courses Mike got close to 20 interviews with people who made the event as special as it was! Be sure to follow and support FIT Challenge and Newbsanity as they are two of the remaining local Northeast OCRs and that is due to their strong leadership and fantastic communities!

242. F.I.T./Newbsanity OCR Extravaganza Live with Robb McCoy, Jarrett Newby, Elites, and More!

Originally Mike hoped to make it out to cover Chicago Toughest but the flights were more expensive than he was willing to pay!  Backup plan was the New England Spartan Super and Sprint and we planned to cover the event and have Mike run the Super.  Motivation to do a Spartan Race wasn't really there so we had a more relaxing weekend and instead got stuff done around the house. We can never forget about you though dear listener!  Katelyn had one of our favorite northeast OCR athletes Kelly Sullivan on the show to talk about the Spartan that we didn't drive the 2 hours for. 0:00 - 2:10 - Intro 2:10 - 9:31 - Quick News 9:31 - 10:05 - Content Preface 10:05 - 30:50 - Kelly Sullivan Interview 30:50 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: Erin Rost Married Molly Seidel Falmouth Fundraiser Ode to Laz Movie Ultra Marathoner Stops for Autistic Child Spartan New England Super Podiums: Men and Women Tougher Chicago Podium: Men and Women Bonefrog Barre Podium: Men and Women Spartan New England Sprint Podiums: Men and Women Tougher Midlands Podium: Men and Women Toughest Mudder Chicago Podium: Men, Women, 4 Person Team, and 2 Person Team Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 109.

Mark Jones reached out about having us give his beta test event of Ruckfest a shoutout so we gave it some love during quick news in a previous episode.  We realized that we had room for a full episode in August so we planned out an interview with one of our most popular guests!

237. Toughest Mudder Poconos with Javier Escobar!

Months ago Matt B Davis from Obstacle Racing Media asked if Mike would be able to support him as pit crew for his A-race of the year, Ode to Laz! This was to be a battle between himself and Josh Chace, another friend and cohost of Davis and Chace.  Not wanting to choose sides, Mike drove over to Michigan with Josh in order to pit and document the event for the both of them!  This episode consists of both Matt and Josh's thoughts the day before the event, interviews and predictions by others, audio from the pit to really put you in the event, and much more! 0:00 - 2:16 - Intro 2:16 - 9:04 - Quick News 9:04 - 11:10 - Content Preface 11:10 - 18:51 - Matt and Josh Before 18:51 - 34:54 - Other Interviews and Predictions 34:54 - 41:10 - Pre-Race Speech 41:10 - 1:26:08 - Laps 1-7 (Molly and Josh DNF) 1:26:08 - 1:41:37 - Laps 8-11 1:41:37 - 2:01:06 - Laps 12-14 (Race Director Interview and Matt DNF) 2:01:06 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: OCR Talk's Last Episode NCAA Student Compensation Mark Jones' Ruck BETA Event Kempson's Dad Biking for Cancer Everest 3.0 Palmerton Spartan Super Podium: Men and Women Palmerton Spartan Sprint Podium: Men and Women Savage Race Boston Podium: Men and Women Grit OCR Claw Podium: Men and Women Grit OCR Fang Podium: Men and Women Tougher Mudder Minnesota Podium: Men and Women OCR Overload 5k Podium: Men and Women OCR Overload 10k Podium: Men and Women Ode to Laz Finisher Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 209. 2020 OCR Podcaster Roundtable Chat with Josh Chace, Scott Knowles, Jason Dupree, Anna Landry and Kim DeVoss! 226.

Somehow this is the first time that we have had Kevin Gregory on the show despite Mike being a fan of him and Bubbles for years!  We have a long talk about the early days of OCR, being comfortably wierd, as well as being a heavier "clydesdale" in the sport. His new gym Underdog Fitness in Wallingford, Connecticut will be hosting it's first Deka Strong event on July 10th!  If you are in the area then be sure to register for their event but if you don't have availability that day then be sure to put their gym on your radar to check out another time because we know that we will! 0:00 - 2:52 - Intro 2:52 - 7:46 - Quick News 7:46 - 8:14 - Content Preface 8:14 - 1:31:59 - Interview with Kevin Gregory 1:31:59 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: Deka Fit Podiums: Men and Women Ida Got Married Viking Ragnarok Trials OCRFF Podiums: Men and Women Tough Mudder Scotland Cancelled Last Minute Cannabis Causes Olympic Disqualification Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 74.

235. Bubbles the Clowne aka Kevin Gregory on Underdog Fitness, Deka Strong, and More!

Well, we missed going to yet another Indian Mud Run event!  However, this gave us a great excuse to have Amy Pajcic on the show to talk about her win! Amy is starting to get some more recognition and quite frankly we think it is overdue.  Beating incredible women like Lindsay Webster at the Savage Rig in Ohio earlier this year, being Magic Pajcic on American Ninja Warrior, some solid performances at OCRWC events, and a bunch of other wins at grip intensive races like Conquer the Gauntlet! 0:00 - 3:02 - Intro 3:02 - 12:49 - (Not) Quick News 12:49 - 13:19 - Content Preface 13:19 - 34:54 - Interview with Amy Pajcic 34:54 - End - Outro ____ News Stories: Hyrox USA Championship Podium: Men and Women OCRWC Shirt Unveiled Cory McGee Now An Olympian Gabby Thomas Also Now An Olympian Kimberley Goucher Olympic Situation Producer Eddie Walk Terrain Race Returns Western States Winners Spartan Multi-Sport Event Spartan Fayetteville Beast Podium: Men and Women Indian Mud Run Podium: Men and Women State Farm Spartan Stadium Podium: Men and Women Crash Dash OCR Podium: Men and Women Spartan Fayetteville Ultra Podium: Men and Women Spartan Fayetteville Super Podium: Men and Women Spartan Fayetteville Sprint Podium: Men and Women 3 Races, 3 Men, Same Podium Placement Meme of the Week Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 136.

234. Indian Mud Run with Amy Pajcic!

MStefano Running is a group of friends that went outside their comfort zone in 2012 and started training to run in fun runs as well as mud runs and other events. We urge others to get off the couch and go for a run or even a walk. Exercise is great for the mind and body. We hope you enjoy listening to our adventures and consider trying one for yourself.
