Obstacle Running Adventures

Back in December of last year, a guy reached out about wanting to come on the show to talk about the Barkley Fall Classic in 2026. Once I had the date, I added it to my potential future episodes spreadsheet, and when the time came around, I reached back out to him! John Calbarese comes on the show to talk about many of the events that he has done, how he feels about DNFs, what he loves about the adventure, the magic of food related ultra races, the Barkley fall classic, and more!

Over the many years of doing elite interviews there have been some athletes that have risen to the top of Mike's favorites, Logan Broadbent being among them. Katelyn recently saw a post about him winning an ultra and setting a PR on the course and figured that we should have him back on the show. Once Mike realized how long it had been since his last appearance on the show (Palmerton 3K Live Coverage) he reached out to change that! Logan has competed and done well in a variety of sports including OCR, ninja, boomerang, and road running yet stays incredibly humble.  We catch up about him winning the Boomerang World Cup, the Spartan Northeast US National Series, and a road ultra! We also discuss why he loves his home city of Cleveland, and much more!

A couple episodes ago during quick news we mentioned the GoFundMe to help lessen the financial impact of Kris Rugloski participating in a endurance horse race in Mongolia! We followed along with her multi-day adventure from her Instagram stories and Mike reached out about potentially having her on the show to talk about the Mongol Derby as well as some other big life changes! We discuss some life changes like earning her degree, ending a long term babysitting job, and getting engaged as well as her background with horses, her adventure in Mongolia, her upcoming move, and much more! Be sure to follow her on social media and consider supporting the GoFundMe because it looks like it is still up!
