Training Tuesday #81: How to Train While Racing Frequently Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

Some people just love racing. They would rather race than train, and they try to fill their schedules with as many races as possible. The question becomes, “How do I structure my training in between back to back race weekends (or back to back to back)?”

Episode 81: Kevin Donoghue Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

Kevin Donoghue has never chosen the typical path through life, so it is only fitting to have followed the same outside-the-box approach as an athlete. What started as a career as a defensive lineman and kick returner turned into a passion for endurance racing, ultimately leading him to becoming one of Obstacle Racing’s most decorated athletes.

Episode 80: Annie Dube Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

Annie is a relative newcomer to the world of endurance racing, but has had immediate success. Not an outstanding runner as a youth, she ground her way to the top of her sport through years of consistent work and an abundance of grit.

Training Tuesday #78: How to Assess Your Race Performance Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

Training built to race day, but now the race is over. What do you do now? The first thing every runner needs to do is assess their performance in a non biased manner. Easier said than done!

Excuses vs factors. Positives and negatives. Luck vs execution. Lack of toughness vs lack of fitness.

We use Kirk’s race this past weeks to walk you through how to approach your after action report and what to do with the information!

Training Tuesday #77: Consistency is King Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

We’ve all been there, searching online for the magic workout or training plan to get us through our next big race. Searching for the secret sauce that sets the great ones apart from the mortals. But what the great ones understand, either intuitively or through trial and error, is that success is the result of days, weeks, months, and years of consistent work. There is no magic workout that will launch you forward. Today we break that concept down and explore it fully!
