The OCR Underground Show

Episode 96 Show Notes

The OCR Underground Show is the best resource for OCR specific training programs.  In this episode I share two studies on Carbohydrates.  Specifically they are about carbohydrate restriction training.  When I wrote my book Fuel and Fire, my plan was to help readers understand the importance of food and training.  These complement each other when done correctly and can provide powerful improvements in your performance.  Carbohydrate restriction can boost or blunt results depending on how you do it.  These two studies show how in one situation it can help your training and in another slow it down.

In the Inside Mike’s Mind segment I dive into Off Season Training for OCR.  This time of year I always stress the importance of dividing your training cycles into an in season and off season plan.  This might sound confusing, so I share some of the key aspects of off season training and what I am currently doing for my program.

And finally I have a great chat with SGX Coach Gina DiSanto.  Gina starting her fitness career over 20 years ago while living in Germany.  She had to overcome a huge language barrier, but fell in love with the industry.  Fast forward and she is a nutritionist, spinning and pilates instructor, as well as SGX Certified.  Gina recently competed at the Spartan race in Sparta, Greece as well as the Deka World Championship.  She shared some of her training plans on how she is prepping for these big races and well as how she overcome significant injury to compete at a high level again.

All this and much more in today’s episode.
