  • We wanted to get an episode on the Spartan Beast World Championship again this year but it can be pretty difficult with language and time zone barriers!

    Luckily we heard back from Richard Hynek who we have heard and seen a lot about over the past recent years!

    We discuss what his athletic background consisted of before obstacle course racing, how he found Spartan Race, the choice to have surgery and the recovery from it, his successful history with the Trifecta World Championship, his more recent podium at the Spartan Beast World Championship, and much more!

    Be sure to follow him on social media and check out his RH Running Club!

  • It started off as a quick news story but Mike figured that he would reach out to the local athlete and he is so glad that he did!

    David Filar ran across the state of Massachusetts and raised over $10,000 for Christmas toys to go to the UMASS Memorial Children's Hospital!

    That is what initially caught our attention but we also discuss his running background, the importance of growth outside the comfort zone, and his career of designing incredible shoes for some well known people!

    Be sure to donate to his fundraiser, and support the companies that helped support his goal like PYNRS, Grillos Pickles, Vee Friends, and Puma! Follow David Filar on social media and keep an eye out for his documentary to be released!

He was vocal about 2024 being his final year as a full time athlete so we discuss what that looks like, how it felt to take the win at an OCRWC event, his recovery from his Savage Race injury, the state of the sport in Europe compared to North America, how he feels about so many championships and much more!

    Be sure to follow him on social media, check out his Get a Grip program, as well as the OCR Program that he developed alongside Ida Mathilde Steensgaard!

  • I have been wanting to do this for a while ... even though I'm not sure him or the others in The OCR Report believed me!

    It's Jack Goras, the guy behind the camera at pretty much every major OCR that has happened in Europe or North America in the past 5 or so years!

    We haven't had much time to talk in the past when covering events since we are usually busy doing interviews while he is taking pictures and editing. However we did get to hang out more at World's Toughest Mudder last year since it was a 24+ hour event, we shared a room at the air bnb, and he hung out at the bar crawl.

    This was my way of getting to know more about him, so now you can also get to know him!

    We talk about photography, his favorite places that he has been, how he ended up being the photographer for The OCR Report, some travel nightmares, how he is going back to Ukraine to help yet again, and much more!

  • A bit of a pivot for this week's episode since Mike had his "A race" of the year, the FIT Challenge Survival of the FITtest!

    A couple years ago he planned to take on the 30 hour but due to an upcoming wedding, the final and most difficult semester of grad school, and some achilles pain the registration was moved back.

    This is the raw and pretty unedited (especially since Audacity gave me issues with the episode and I needed to redo almost everything) journey of me being able to call myself an ultra runner again! So enjoy a look at the inside of my mind, many mistakes when talking, and a few ultra mistakes too!

    Next week we plan to get back to something more interesting but I hope you enjoy this anyway!

    Ja Shua was a prominent member of the OCR in the northeast before moving to Colorado, we chose him to be one of our sponsored athletes back in episode 300, and he has been Mike's coach for the past few months!

    Hear us discuss van life out west, his athletic background, how he found OCR, the thrill of making the world your playground through fitness, his experience at OCRWC, his recovery from his shoulder injury in Tahoe, his interest in helping others in the sport, his upcoming FKT in the Grand Canyon, and more!

  • This weekend was OCRWC in Mammoth Lakes, CA and you will totally hear about that ... next week when I have time to schedule an interview with an athlete but it is Tuesday and people are still traveling home!

    Instead we finally had Kevin "The Mudman" LaPlatney, on the show who has been in the sport since 2010 and has seen a lot of events come and go during his time living on Long Island. He owned Obstacle Athletics which was a well known OCR gym in the area for many years, and continues to be a prominent member in the northeast OCR community. We discuss his favorite events over the years, his love of ultras, being a dad, his thoughts on the changes in the sport, the fact that OCR is not dead yet, and more!

  • We had Yaris Cruz on the show once before while doing interviews at OCRWC in 2021, having her on again for her own episode was long overdue!

    Yaris as an athlete is known to be a force to be wreckoned with whether it be OCR, ninja, or even hybrid racing. We discuss her background in sport before finding OCR (or lack thereof), the importance of mental health as an athlete, how her position as the vice president of Puerto Rico OCR Association has changed her perspective on the sport, her thoughts on World Obstacle's OCR World Championships in Costa Rica, and much much more!

    Also, in a time where many North American races are having their final events, there are some new ones just getting started! Race Ready Obstacles has been building obstacles for races and selling quality training equiptment to people for years. This year they hosted their first obstacle course themselves, MidWest OCR and Yaris took the gold!

  • Well, we still can't believe this is the first time that Josh Fiore has gotten his own episode but here we are!

    Josh has been involved with OCR in the northeast for well over a decade as a weekend warrior, volunteer, motivational speaker, and as an elite. He has been on the show 7 times previous to this (episodes 114, 194, 328, 358, 360, 382, and 401) due to seeing him at Spartan Greek Peak, Kismet Cliff Run, FIT Challenge, World's Toughest Mudder, New England OCR Expo, and BoldrDash!

    This time however, we focus on his background of finding the sport of obstacle course racing, life changes he needed to make in order to compete as an elite, his thoughts on local OCR, how the Spartan Killington Ultra went, unfinished business at World's Toughest Mudder, and much more!

  • There were some big events that happened this weekend with Tough Mudder Infinity in Pittsburg, the final Conquer the Gauntlet under the Mainprize ownership, the first of the Savage Point Series races in Maryland, and the Spartan European Championships, but we covered the final BoldrDash OCR in Exeter, RI!

    BoldrDash as a race series had a huge role to play in our overall OCR history! It was Mike's 9th ever OCR, and Katelyn's 7th ever OCR back on May 3rd 2014 (video here). We have also volunteered more at this race than any other, whether it was Mike waking up really early to volunteer all day at an obstacle, or helping people through the course with the Find Your Bold/all abilities team!

    While it didn't have the huge reputation around the country or even world like FIT Challenge had with the annual community awards, it was still an integral aspect of local OCR in New England! Lynn Hall started these events back in 2011, has put on events at incredible venues such as beaches, ski hills, and former amusement park land, before settling at a permanent course at Canonicus the past few years. We wish Lynn the best in what she continues to do with Find Your Bold!

    Lastly, if you have information as to the spelling or last name of the guests in this episode, we would appreciate it.

    Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 7 years and 8 months, everyone who watched this live recording, sent in audio clips, guests who have been on the show, our patreon supporters, and everyone else who has helped this show keep going for so long!

  • Lots of events happened this weekend so it was difficult to figure out which event to focus on and which particular athlete to have on the show. I try not to have the same guest on for their own episode too many times, one of the big events had a lot of issues and I'd want to have more of the dust settle before we consider having an athlete on to talk about it.

    Then Mike saw that Jenny Overstreet won Toughest Mudder Chicago! He first met her at the end of OCR America 2 during the KC Timber Challenge coverage. He was severely sleep deprived from a full week of traveling across the country doing OCR so he has limited memories of that day but it definitely happened!

    Jenny is an athlete from the midwest who is known to be a formidable ultra OCR athlete from previous Toughest and World Toughest Mudders so we were excited to have her on the show for her own episode. Be sure to check out the MudGear Hannibal Race Pro Team that she is a part of as well as her gym RoKC!

  • The New England Spartan Super and Sprint weekend came back to Barre, MA and it felt good to be back! Most are pretty familiar with the ~10K Super and the ~5K Sprint so those don't need too much description.

    In addition to taking on both of these events though, we also completed the Teddy Bear Crawl which is a 7am wave where adults crawl the kids course to earn a kids medal and kids could bear crawl it to earn a Sprint medal! This event is free but it is recommended to make a donation in order to help purchase teddy bears for kiddos in a local hospital!

    Mike was able to talk to 25 different people on the mic and countless people off the mic across these 3 events. These people ranging from elite athletes, weekend warriors, as well as vendors. See specific people and brands in the time stamps below!

  • After Evan Perperis interviewed Mike to talk about OCR in the Northeast on Strength and Speed (listen to episode here), Mike pulled an uno reverse and asked Evan to come on our show!

    We have heard of some events that take place in the center of the country but to have a much better idea of the state of the sport in that region it takes someone more local to the area. With Evan living there for the majority of his OCR career, he was the perfect guest to talk about these events. We discuss 29 different events that are either still being put on today or left an impact in the time that they were still functional!

    The events discussed were: Mythic Race, Hazelwood OCR, KC Timber Challenge, The Seige, Muddy Water OCR, Filthy Monkey, Wildwood Aventure Park, Witchita Gladiator Dash, Muddy Hutch, Conquer The Gauntlet, T.H.O.R. Texomas Hellacious Obstacle Race, Gladiator Assault Challenge, Frontline OCR, Midwest OCR, Spartan Race, Warrior Dash, Atlas Race, BattleFrog, Battle Of The Lions, Hammer Race, Big Red Challenge, Dirt Runner, Terrain Race, Green Beret Challenge, Fugitive Run, Battlegrounds (Iowa), Primal Assault, Gorilla Dash, and City Challenge

  • It's that time for New England to get savage again! Mike woke at 6:15am and drove to Carter and Stevens Farm in Barre, MA to cover the Savage Race Boston and as always he didn't regret it!

    He interviewed a bunch of elite athletes as well as the vendors who were there to support the event! Savage Race has been one of our favorite OCRs since before they even came to New England with us only missing their 2021 and 2023 events. After doing interviews, Mike went out to do the Blitz course for a sweet green medal!
