The OCR Underground Show

Episode 62 Show Notes

The OCR Underground Show provides you with everything you need to maximize your training for your best race. In this episode I share some great insight on how you can have a smarter training plan.

Hoping to redeem my Big Bear race, I am off to race the Spartan Sprint in Minnesota. At least there is no snow in the forecast.

In the Inside Mike’s Mind segment of the show, I explain the truth about cramping during a race. Is it as simple as dehydration or electrolyte loss? Most likely not. Tune in to see how you can stop cramping before they start.

We have a great race recap with Jordan Boyd from Australia. He gives us a great recap of the 24Hr OCR Enduro Championships.

In my research review, I discuss why you need to disperse your training intensity and the value of low intensity training.

And we have a great announcement about a new sponsor of the show. Venga CBD is our newest partner. I orignial interview their CEO Jay O’hare. After chatting with him about the benefits of CBD and how it can help the endurance athlete specifically, I decided to give it a try. I was incredibly impressed with their products and I am excited to have them in support of the show.

In this episodes interview I chat with Jay and gives a great summary of what CBD is and how it may benefit you in your endurance performance.

All this plus much more!
