The OCR Underground Show

Episode 98 Show Notes

Welcome to the OCR Underground Show. Your best resource to training tips to crush your next obstacle course race. As always this episode is packed with strategies for smarter ocr training.

In this episode, I recap my first Spartan Race of the year in San Bernadino, CA. It was a fun race and excited to get back into it. My research review discuss different strategies for improving your pull ups. Obviously being better at pull ups is a huge advantage in many obstacles. See how these different techniques held up.

In the Inside Mike’s Mind segment I discuss some of the principles of training. These aren’t philosophies or suggestions. These principles are the law of training and if you aren’t considering them you are missing out in how your training can better help you improve.

And finally I chat with Coach Gary Lombardo. Gary was previously on the show for episode 54. Gary is no stranger to endurance events. From Iron Man, to Ultras, to high altitude expeditions, Gary has done it all and helped others push their limits for endurance. Gary is participating in the upcoming Winter Death Race and share his training to prep for it. Plus he shares some tips for taking on more endurance based activities if you are ready to step up your racing.

All this and much more in today’s show.
