What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Updated review: Mike and Katelyn have been crushing it for over seven years now. Congratulations you guys. Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to 400 more episodes from you two. Five starrrrrrrs! —— Mike, his female co-host Katelyn, and their friends talk about their running exploits and do interviews with other runners. They're doing races from 5k color runs to Spartan OCR's. Even if you've never run a Tough Mudder and don't ever plan on doing World's Toughest Mudder you'll find something on this podcast to help your running. Give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.

Mike and his team really go above and beyond with their live event coverage and interviews. Great quality, excellent questions and they cover a wide variety of topics! He's also nice enough to film you completing obstacles in the middle of the night! 10/10 recommend 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Dope Scorsese · Nov 2023

They may not say it anymore, but this is the most consistent OCR podcast. Look it up. Like clockwork; the clock bares 12:00 at noon… Also at midnight… Or if the power went out recently and you haven’t re set it. Time is a construct. So too this podcast posts good episodes reliably on schedule. Humble hosts. The struggle to pronounce racer names is always charming. OCR still has a pulse and podcasts like this are an important part of it.

WhitB90 · May 2023

Always a great listen with Mike and Katelyn. A relaxed and down to Earth style with a great balance of local, regional, and national level events, athletes, and event directors. Always happy when I see Mike and Katelyn at a race, and I download every week. You should give them a download as well for great running and OCR content.
