After an obstacle race comes through your town it can often be weeks, months, or even a year in some locations before a race comes back to a neighborhood. In between those times, you can get your fix of the OCR world through television shows but when those seasons are over there is another way to keep the OCR fire alive within you, podcasts. Over the years more and more obstacle racing podcasts and those closely related to the industry have popped up.
There was a lot going on in the world of endurance. In The Cooldown Episode 8, we focus on the endurance world following Western States 100-mile ultra marathon over the weekend as well as a crazy adventure race and how to add intervals into your training.
