Episode 147 - Several weeks ago, Tough Mudder HQ threw down the gauntlet stating any team that could compete 100 miles (20 laps) at this year's WTM, would split $100,000. So, 2013 and 2014 WTM Champ Ryan Atkins did what any red blooded Canadian endurance champ would do. He called a few buddies to take it on. Listen in to learn who he rounded up.

The 2nd interview on today's show is with Ronan Gardiner. He is one of the creators of the Men's Health Urbanathlon. This event launched way ahead of the OCR boom, all the way back in 2006. Learn how this race came to be and what they have in store for their 10th year.

If you don't know who either of these guys are, there is some info in the show notes, but do yourself a favor and do some googling. Then be blown away at their athletic accomplishments.

Listen in to learn how Nick put his team of ultra runner badasses together. He also talks about how the hell one paces appropriately to win a 120 mile race, how horrible conditions at previous ultra experiences pay off for him, what he thinks about "The FastPass" for WTM frontrunners, and much more.

Interview with Matt and Joe Decker from 2012

Episode 145 - Matt Waller has built a resume around endurance challenges. He has completed several Death Races along with crewing for a fellow Death Race finisher. He and his partner in crime, Tanya Bickham, have also gone on to produce their own endurance event, The Gauntlet.

This was not always the case, however. Listen in on how frightened Matt was do run a whopping 3 miles and tackle the brutal obstacles at his first Warrior Dash, back in May of 2010. From there, we learn about Matt's journey to where he (and Tanya) are now in terms of racing, and training others to be successful.

This is a MUST listen if you are interested in crewing or participating in a Death Race, Ultimate Suck, Gauntlet or other 24 hour plus endurance event.
