Training Tuesday #81: How to Train While Racing Frequently

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

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

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. Equal parts distance runner and mountain goat, Annie’s story is a great one. Enjoy!

Episode 79: Kris Brown

Kris is one of the most widely successful endurance athletes in North America. A self described “hybrid athlete”, he has seen success in everything from ultra running to obstacle racing.

On top of that, Kris is a chef, restaurant owner, coach, and course designer. 

Training Tuesday #78: How to Assess Your Race Performance

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!
