After that we hear about John Landry's experience at the NYC Ma...

Who knew that trying to interview elites after they finish a race in a Nor'Easter would be so difficult?

Listen as you will hear about Mike and Chrissy's experience at FIT's 'Frills Trail 5k Multi-lap! You will also hear from two elites from the event. Unfortunately, there's not as many podium interviews because Mike was too busy crushing his goal, of completing three laps.  Next weekend we will cover the Tri-State Spartan Super in Vernon, NJ and hopefully hear from Jason or Jimmie about the Spartan...

Katelyn is back which means this episode is fun enough to make up for the lack of her last episode! For the real content of the show you'll hear from Kay who ran the full marathon course as well as Lucian who ran his first half marathon! Next weekend we will cover the FIT Frills trail run in Cumberland, RI! Ryan Atkin's article on ORM:  https://obstacleracingmedia.com/editorial/the-last-10-percent...

Mike runs his first Bonefrog event and luckily it seems to have been one of the better ones Jimmie and Angela have run this year!

Katelyn had some difficulty with obtaining elite interviews but makes up for it with great talks with vendors and some other  interesting people. Mike was able to cat...

No events this weekend?! We use the free weekend to discuss a series of races that we have run in the past that are either gone forever or have left our part of the country and we likely won't be able to do them again! Not nearly as much editing in this episode as it is more of a conversational filler episode but let us know what you think! Do you have fond memories from any of these events? Run f...
