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.

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 128 - Up first on today's show is an interview with Pat Patterson, race director from Ragnar Trail Relays. We ran the Georgia stop of that event for the 2nd straight year, and despite some serious rain, had a great time. The next set of interviews are from Georgia's Spring Savage Race. After interviewing "Operations Manager", Garfield Griffiths , we decided to take a slightly different approach to this episode. Rather than talking to all of the top finishers, we decided instead to talk to some different kinds of folks. Starting with the owner of the property, and then several everyday finishers to see what they thought of the race. Enjoy.

Episode 117 - On today's show we bring you one of the first interviews about Urban Mudder, which is being dubbed as "Tough Mudder's Cousin in the City". We talk with Ashley Ellefson, whose current role is VP New Event Development at TMHQ. After we learn a bit about the new event, we talk to Ashley about what it's been like the last 5 years at Tough Mudder. Back in 2010 she answered a craigslist ad to become TM's first employee.
Next up is Junyong Pak, who we haven't spoken to him since the night before last November's World's Toughest Mudder in Vegas. We called Pak to talk about his recent Guinness Record feat for the fastest marathon wearing 40 pounds on his back. That leads right towards a conversation about what went wrong for him at 2014 WTM. We then get into what his immediate OCR future looks like, along with some other career endeavors he is looking into. Today's episode is sponsored by Mad Anthony Mud Run and The Macon Mud Run.

We wish them much success and hope more and more people come and check them out. The 2nd interview goes in a very different direction. We talk to Dennis Caco from something called The Undress. Dennis and his business partner April created this very cool product which solves a common problem for runners, and other athletes who need to change their clothes on the go.

With 8000 feet of elevation change over 8 miles, everyone said it was harder terrain that last year's Vermont Beast.

Hobie Call-The most recognizable man at any Spartan Race talks about not being the poster boy anymore. |
Wed, 21 August 2013
Episode 63-Joe Desena was on CNBC this morning, you can watch the clip here. I was under the impression that it would be an intelligent conversation about OCR, the growth of the sport, and/or sponsorship dollars. It was not. This gave me a great excuse to call Joe and talk about anything that changed since we last spoke about the big Vermont race. I also wanted to see how he thought the CNBC piece went. Please listen very close to the end of the first segment with Joe for some sage advice. I was already planning to air interviews which had taken place just days after the Death Race ended. So, lucky you, you get a double dose of Joe Desena on today's podcast. You will also hear from Junyong Pak. Pak is best known for being the 2X World's Toughest Mudder. He is also a previous Death Race finisher. It came as a surprise to many when he quit this year's Death Race about 12 hours before it ended. I ask him what happened and if he ever plans on doing the DR again. Today's episode is brought to you by Man Games. Their amazing first event takes place Sept 6 and 7th. |
Tue, 6 August 2013
Episode 61-The interviews in this episode kick off with a short call I had with Joe DeSena. He talks about the recent "Spartan Rash" that occured at the recent Spartan Race in Illinois. He also talks about a TV show in the works for NBC. I then, sort of, beg for a job. Next, I speak with 3 2013 Summer Death Race finishers. Amelia Boone, Olof Dallner, and Pete Coleman. These 3 all got skulls which means they did everything (or almost everything) asked and outlasted everyone else over the course of 3 days. I wanted to know how this DR compared to previous ones, and find out what it takes to actually finish one of these things. |
Mon, 13 May 2013
In today's episode, we start by talking about the Triple Race Challenge that I did over the weekend. I successfully completed 3 races in one day and am challenging others to top this feat. Listen in to hear the official announcement on how you can win a free entry to a future OCR event of your choice by doing so. I will also talk about two of the three races that I did. Savage Race and The Electric Run were both awesome events, for completely different reasons. Hear me tell you why. I will then play my interview with Chef Richard Blais. For those that don't know him, Chef Blais won Top Chef All Stars and has begun building a small empire which includes 4 restaraunts in Atlanta alone, a new book "Try This At Home", and tv appearances it seems almost daily. It turns out he is a runner which gave me a great reason to sit down and talk with him. We talk about running, food, Top Chef, and some of his future plans. I then attempt to convince him to attempt an obstacle race in the near future. Find out more at MattBDavisRuns.com |
Tue, 7 May 2013
Another podcast episode chock full of obstacle goodness. First, I talk a little about the need for some rule tightening over at Spartan. Then, we have two great interviews for you I have done in recent weeks. Brad Kloha is going to run 100 races (mostly obstacle) in 52 weeks starting June 15th. He is on a mission to stop Alzheimer's. Listen in to learn what inspired this cool adventure and how he plans on getting it done. The other interview is with Tory Fitzgerald of Out-Fit Challenge. The world's first LGBT obstacle race. OCR is already the most fun you can have your clothes (mostly) on. Imagine all that mud and fun with the added the flair of the gay community, hellloooo! |
