The OCR Underground Show

Episode 45 Show Notes

We are well into 2018 and the race season is upon us. This episode brings you more tips and strategies to bring your best game for the 2018 OCR Season.

In this episode I discuss more on my recent blog post and video on the most common bear crawl mistakes made and a simple progression to master the fundamental exercise. Plus I go on a little rant on how many people seem to be handling injuries. If you find your self with an injury, following these important steps.

This episode’s research review is all about grip strength. How to test for it and how you should train for it. Plus we talk about the different kinds of grip strength you need to work on.

And in our coach’s corner, I have on SGX Coach Bayo Adio from Adio Fit in Manhattan, KS. Being a fellow former high jumper, Bayo also shares how he went from a non runner to enjoying obstacle course races. He discusses how and what he assesses with his clients to determine what they need to work on. We get into the biggest mistakes made by endurance athletes as well as some strategies he uses to incorporate breathe work into his training for better performance.

All this and much more in this week’s episode.
