Lindsay Webster Dec 24, 2015

Show notes

Episode 161 - Lindsay Webster's first ever OCR was The 2014 Spartan World Championships, where she surprised everyone (including herself) and came in 4th.

In 2015, she cemented herself as one of the most dominating women in the sport. She made the podium at over 20 races this year, finishing first 13 times. For OCR Championship season, she did not slow down, taking 2nd at Spartan Worlds, 1st in OCRWC, and 1st in The BattleFrog Championship.

We talk to Lindsay about having a sweet exterior, and still having the eye of the tiger. We also discuss the shadows she's had to step past to make her own name, and it's not just been her hubby to be, Ryan Atkins. Lindsay also covers training, eating, and how she'd like to be remembered when this is all said and done.

Christian Griffith #liveforaliving Nov 05, 2015

Show notes

Episode 154 - Christian Griffith does not do anything quietly or half-assed. When Matt met Christian in 2012, Christian was already living what most consider a "pretty good life". He had a well paying job at an ad agency in which he could dress how he wanted, and travel to races all over the world on any given week. That was not enough for him and in April of this year, he moved from Atlanta to Jacksonville, FL to go work for GORUCK.

Sounds great right? Still in marketing, but for a gear and event company that pushes people past their comfort zone. Seems like a perfect fit, however, 7 months into that job and he realized he still had a thirst for more. Much more.

On Monday, Christian left GORUCK to start the next chapter of his life.

Listen in and find out how he plans on taking on truly being his hashtag #liveforaliving.

You will also hear his unique opinions on OCR, and what he doesn't like about Matt.

How does he do so many darn races and can you race too much?

Which costume and treadmill records are important to him?

What are his exercise replacements when he does get running injuries?

What was it like to be a Runner's World cover finalist?

What are his favorite podcasts to listen to while running?

Who is he going to drop from his fantasy football team?
