Today we explore Jack Daniels’ training formula, the Norwegian approach, the Five Pace training theory, and the MAF method. We break down the main premise of each program and discuss what type of athlete would (or wouldn’t) be a good fit for each!
Some highlights include: Can shoe drop cause Achilles pain? Why do I feel terrible during my taper week? Do compression calf sleeves help with cramping? What inclines should I train at for different intensities?
Do you need to be good early on to be considered talented? Or are their other types of running talent you might unearth as your training journey unfolds?
Ian returns to the podcast to chat training, racing, the state of OCR, and to preview the USA OCR Championships which is going down one month from now in Georgia.

It’s been over a month since we last dove into your most pressing running questions! We aimed to keep the answers succinct and to avoid rabbit holes. We failed.
Kirk just had his first track race of the year. The 5000m race distance reminded him of certain things that needed reminding and taught him a few things that needed teaching!
It’s almost race week. You’re worried you might not be totally prepared. Just one more big effort couldn’t hurt, right? If you mimic the demands and the hurt of the race once more, you’ll be more prepared to handle it, right?? We’re here to talk you off the ledge. It’s officially time to Not Screw It Up!
Three years, 3000 miles, 1500 streets, and one stress fracture later, Lisa has become the first female (and second overall) to ever run every street in the city of Milwaukee. Find out what she learned, how she strategized, the best and worst of her experiences, and more!
The Games have concluded and we’re back with our impressions, takeaways, and favorite moments from the final races of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
We react to the Olympic races that have been run up until this point, discuss the lessons learned, biggest takeaways, and what we’re still looking forward to!
You asked for it, so we’re doing it! Today we give you our philosophy of why runners should all be strength training, how we think about executing a strength session, and what exercises and rep ranges to target.
A year ago, Matt thought his running days were over. His knees were bone-on-bone, he was arthritic, and he couldn’t run downhill to save his life. Now 50 years old, he recently set the FKT on Mauna Kea, just missed the master’s record at Mt Marathon, and is training 12+ hours per week.
Whether you’re moving from the roads to the trails, mountains to the track, or OCR to HYBRID, your legs need to be ready for the impact demands of your new terrain in order to fully use your existing fitness!
Kirk and a surprise guest co-host answer your burning questions!
How to approach training when your life schedule is atypical
Are you leaving performance on the table due to imperfect nutrition?
How to execute Kirk’s favorite workout: Float Style Intervals
When executing a Split Long Workout, is short rest or longer rest between workouts better?
Some people struggle to get things done. TJ is not one of them. What can we learn from someone who hasn’t missed a workout in years despite working full time , having three kids, and not being a natural runner?
Today we discuss how much volume is needed for an athlete to run-walk a marathon, how we would train for life if races ceased to exist, what we would do if we had one year to become the biggest monster possible, and what to do if your half marathon time is disproportionate to your marathon time.

hands down my favorite podcast. education and entertainment galore
This is the best running podcast for OCR. Kirk and Brakken give you all the fundamentals and advanced concepts to understand, construct, and refine your own training.
I listened to my first ever full podcast when my team mate Chris Shipley was interviewed by Kirk & Bracken earlier this year, I have listened to every one since & caught up on some of the earlier episodes, I am an OCR racer so maybe a little bias but these guys know there stuff & have got so many tips in this time. Keep up the good work lads 👌🏻
Fantastic podcast! Found this a little later but made to sure to catch up on all the previous episodes. Great insights from two elite obstacle course racers and stellar runners! Have applied many of the principles into my own training already!
another great episode! thanks for all the help tips!
The best podcast for running out there. They do focus on OCR, but I pull a ton of useful info on regular running from Kirk and Brakken. Plus, you get 2 episodes a week and their interview episodes are awesome. These guys know the questions to ask.
Great episode!!! fantastic information that I'm going to use Immediately! love listening guys!
