The OCR Underground Show

Episode 91 Show Notes

Back again with another jammed pack podcast with more OCR Training tips.  It feels like forever since my last race and I am definitely getting the itch after seeing everyone post their pics and medals recently.  Hopefully I will get my chance soon.  But until then I will keep training and getting better every day.

In this episode I share my 3 step process in conquering any obstacle.  There is a lot that goes into training for specific obstacle, but I like to break it all down into three categories.  For each obstacle you face you need to be able to do these three things.  Once get this down you are ready to take on any obstacle.

Next in my research review I share an interesting study showing how stress in football players leads an increase injury risk on the field.  I talk about how we can all relate to this.  Stress, in any form, is something that has to be managed.

Finally, I share my thoughts on the famous anabolic window.  Does it really matter if you eat right after your workout?  Will you lose all of your gains if you don’t have that shake immediately following your workout?  Just like most things it depends.  I share when you may want to focus on getting fuel in right after your workout and when it probably doesn’t matter.
