Warning: you will either agree with us today or you will be really upset! Stretching and mobility work are such touchy topics. Runners will happily debate high vs low mileage, threshold vs vO2max work, or Lydiard vs Daniels, but bring up mobility work and watch those smiles get turned upside down real quick! So, today is OUR take on what runners do and don’t need to worry about when it comes to flexibility, mobility, and range of motion. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

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!
