]]> Mark Batres is a coach of athletes, Spartan Pro, and a form high-level runner on the track and roads. Including such accolades as - 5 time all American, and a 2:19 marathon. 

But his fast running did not make him an instant success at OCR - he worked as hard to learn the sport and is now one of the best in the world.

In this episode we cover:

  • Why the fastest runners are not always the best at OCR
  • The mindset to overcome injury - and in Mark’s case a devastating career-threatening injury. 
  • The value of coaching and why you should want a coach who has a coach.
  • And why you should floss your teeth.

]]> Very few athletes can train and succeed at a high level of endurance. Even fewer athletes sustain their success for decades.

But Ryan Woods is doing it. At 40 years old Ryan aka Woodsy aka RJwoodsy has been crowned the Spartan Race North American champion. 

Fresh off of one of the biggest win of his long career Woods joins Rich to talk all things training and shares why he believes he’s been able to smash training and his competition for years. 


During the episode we cover:

  • How Woodsy structures his training and the consistent benchmarks he uses to test his fitness. 
  • His reluctance to start strength training and benefits he found form it once he started. 
  • The recovery methods he uses and what you should do to sustain performance.
  • How he has made the transition from the track, to roads, to mountains, to OCR.

Running is hard, the obstacles are hard, and the terrain is crazy hard. 

Preparing for an OCR should not have to be a challenge - but many of us do not have easy access to a mountain or steep trails. Spartan Pro Team member Kirk DeWindt is no expectation - but he has figured out how to train on flat land and still kick butt.

Kirk joins Rich and John to explain how he has climbed the ranks in the Spartan world while living in a mountainless area. 

During the episode we cover:

  • What workouts you can do to improve in OCR.
  • If training like an OCR athlete can improve your V02Max and make you faster.
  • How to get better at climbing without having inclines and what you can do on your own.
