Episode 153 - In this episode, we talk to Michael Wardian. Go to his Athlinks and his Ultrasignup page in the show notes to get a glimpse of the volume of races that he runs. (and how well he performs!) In this conversation, we attack such burning questions as: How does he do so many darn races and can you race too much? Which costume and treadmill records are important to him? What are his exercise replacements when he does get running injuries? What was it like to be a Runner's World cover finalist? What are his favorite podcasts to listen to while running? Who is he going to drop from his fantasy football team? Today's show is sponsored by: Men's Health Urbanathlon.

Episode 149 - On today's show we have some hot off the press interviews with the top finishers of the 2015 Spartan World Championships from Lake Tahoe. Robert Killian was introduced to most of us with his 3rd place finish on the televised Spartan race from Palmerton, a few weeks ago. In this episode, we learn about how his previous experience prepared him for success, and how he learned to beat the best of the best. We also learn what he is up to for the rest of the 2015 Championship season. Zuzana Kocumova surprised everyone, including herself, by being the first female to cross the finish line, beating out favorites (and previous champions) Amelia Boone, Claude Godbout and Rose Wetzel.
