The OCR Underground Show is a podcast built to help you crush your next obstacle course race.  Each episode is jammed packed with tips, strategies, and interview to help you train smarter.

In Episode 97 I share my experience at the latest Epic Series event and how I did in the Average Joe & Jane category.  In my research review I talk all about VO2 max.  Learn what VO2 max is and why it is so important for endurance athletes.  Plus I share a few studies that should what intensities seem to work best for improving your VO2 max.

In the inside Mike’s Mind segment I talk about breathwork.  While this is a very trendy topic, not everyone understands how to incorporate breathwork into your routine.  I share 4 simple ways you can include focused breathwork into your training without adding much time to your overall training routine.
