The OCR Underground Show

Episode 34 Show Notes

In this episode we ask one of the most important questions you might be afraid to ask yourself, “Are your workouts making your worse.” A common trend in fitness, is to push ourselves with disregard to what it might be doing to our bodies. There is a balance between intense workout and maximum function and performance.

In our research review I discuss how despite being pain free, your shoulder may be a ticking time bomb. I explain the findings a 3 research studies that show how even if you have no shoulder pain, you might be completely jacked up.

And finally in our coaches’s interview, I have on Coach Bonnie Spartan from Fitness Without Limits. Bonnie is known for being an OCR all-star. You will find her at just about every race out there. As we expand our topic of other Obstacle Course Races, I wanted to bring in an expert to discuss all the different options out there. We touch on the most common OCR’s you will find on the West Coast and what you can expect if you sign up for one.
