Man, I had a lot to talk about in this episode.  This one is pack with some really useless tips for your OCR Training.  In this one I share some cool info on a new FREE grip training series.  You can check out some of my favorite and most effective ways to train your grip here. And more exciting news my new, and first, the book is now available!  The book is Fuel & Fire and is a step-by-step guide on how to properly train for an obstacle course race and how to set up your nutrition to properly fuel your workouts.  I packed everything into this easy read, plus give you a starting program to work with. This project has been in the works for 3 years so I am super excited that it is finally ready.  You can pick up a copy through the link below or on Amazon: http://outskirtspress.com/FuelandFire In the inside Mike's Mind segment I discuss what the difference between an A and B race are.  I have talked about this before and recently was having a discussion with a client that was understanding why you would have a B race.  I clear up any confusion and discuss how you can properly plan for your race season. I also discuss research comparing circuit training and running looking at how you can't always use how you feel to determine how good a workout is. And finally I discuss the most important recovery strategy you can implement.  Not only that but practical ways you can put it in place. Full shownotes:  www.ocrunderground.com/episode-77
