Episode 143 - Today we meet Ben Gray.

Ben ran 100 miles around the city of Atlanta one day, for the story not the glory. He also ran in the first AND last wave of this year's Peachtree Road Race.

Ben's job for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has him writing and taking pictures at some very cool places and events. Some times running gets to be part of the assignment as well. It is safe to say Matt wants to be Ben when he grows up.

Listen in as they discuss running, journalism, and lots of things Atlanta.

Episode 141 - Cassidy Watton was the 2nd place female and finished ahead of 75% of the men in the elite field at last October's OCR World Championships. Since then, she has had a number of top finishes including 2nd at the Spartan in Sydney, AUS stadium Sprint, 2nd at the SoCal Beast, 2nd on the Bahamas Cruise, and 1st at The Citifield stadium race.  

At one of the more brutal Spartan courses this year, the Palmerton, PA Super, she finished ahead of  powerhouses April Dee, Deanna Blegg, and KK Paul.  Even after a year like this, her competitors seem to share the spotlight with each other, but not her.

In this interview, we talk to her about that, and if it affects her in any way. We will also learn about her college sports career, who led her to obstacle racing (we'll give you 3 guesses), and what her future OCR plans are. Matt also digs into her diet and workout plans, cause we know many of you enjoy finding out "What The Pros Do".

Brady is one of the course designers for Tough Mudder and is one of the main men behind World's Toughest Mudder. He and Phoebe talk about a variety of things including what inspires his course builds and what new obstacles we may see at WTM 2015. She also asks if we are going to be seeing The Cliff again, or perhaps something even scarier.

Next up is Joshua Cox. Joshua and his pal Carlo Piscitello started the Pis and Cox YouTube show back in January. The have a steadily growing fanbase with their weekly rants about Tough Mudder, what's going on in the WTM Community, and whatever comes to their heads.
