The OCRWC Podcast OCRWC

Shell first took on OCR as a bucket list dream, and fell in love at first sight.



When her son Luccketta lost his best friend to suicide, she did the only thing she knew how to help him, and got him involved in Spartan Races. This lit something in him, and he realised that if all children had access to this sport, it might help them, and so Lionsheart Fitness was born.



Since then they have been serving the community and building the OCR community up with love, safety of being and physical strength, and they've never looked back.

As the Director of Video for the OCR Report, Jason Dupree has experienced a tonne of what can happen during a live stream of an OCR.



From fast paced sprints in Mexico, to 27 hours of World's Toughest Mudder, Jason has been there.



We talk about what it means to put on a successful live stream, what can go wrong, and what can go right.

In this episode we are joined by Elite OCR athlete Annie Dube.



We learn the importance of time, trial, and adapting when it comes to the success of an athlete. Whether pro, age group, or open anyone can learn from how Annie approaches an OCR!



We talk about her experiences in racing, her thoughts on the new Spartan Competitive format, and discuss the OCRWC 2024 location of Mammoth Lakes, and what changes to expect this year.

Ian Hosek of USAOCR joined us this episode to talk about upcoming selections for the US Nation OCR Team and hoe people can apply for Pro or Age Group... Not so spoiler... Deadline is coming up soon!

It doesn't take long talking to Federica to realise how many of the varied OCR Championship events worldwide she has taken on.
