The OCR Underground Show

Episode 49 Show Notes

Are you read for more training training tips to help you prep for your next Spartan Race or other OCR?  We got you covered with another awesome episode.

In this episode, I share some great tips on how you can train your legs to better prep for hills without running hills.  In our research review I discuss the different between training for muscle size versus muscle strength.  Your goal is to understand the reason why behind doing certain exercises and training protocol.  Then you can match your training with your specific goal.  This research sheds some light on how you may want to focus your strength training.

Finally, I was able to interview Elite OCR racer Aaron Nowlin.  Recently I was able to catch up with Aaron while driving out to Vegas for the Spartan Super.  During our time in the car we had a killer conversation about our recap of the Vegas race, stressing out about the course map, how to learn how to love running, his favorite training methods, dealing with injuries the right way, spear throwing tips, and a while lot more.
