Episode 139 - Today's guests are two old friends of the show. We first talked to Don Mann in March of last year when Battlefrog first burst onto the scene. He has since left BattleFrog and created Frogman Charities. He talks a little about why he left and what his new charity organization is all about.

Next up is our old pal Hunter. In 2012 and 2013, Hunter was on the podium almost every time he raced (and he raced a lot). Hunter has made a shift in 2014, and has not been on the Spartan circuit nearly as much. We caught up with him after his recent move to talk about his new job in Miami, his TV job that has been top secret up until now, what races we may find him at, and checking out a vegan lifestyle.

Episode 138 - Rob Butler is the man behind Shale Hill, a permanent obstacle course located in Vermont. His obstacle designs and ideas have always been original and he puts on some of the most unique races in OCR.

Now Rob is on a search to find some super fit human beings and has created The Universal Athlete Challenge. He is looking to get 250 athletes to pay $2,500 and vie for a $100k top prize and $300k overall. We talked to him about what inspired this event, how he plans to get people to sign up, what kinds of challenges are involved, and what it is going to take to win.

The second interview today is with Spartan Pro, April Dee. Did you know April finished 3rd last year at the Vermont Spartan Beast AND UltraBeast? Our chat includes discussing how she did that. Plus, several topics including "periodization", which is how she trains in a way that allows her to peak once a month for key races. She also lets us know what those "key races" are for the rest of 2015. Will she be taking on World's Toughest Mudder? Tune in and find out.
