I enjoy listening to this podcast, the focus on the athletes training, competition, and daily lives is very insightful. Believe it or not the personal aspects of how competition affects their daily lives is very relatable for anyone who lives a competitive lifestyle.

The longer the episodes, the better! Love listening to you guys

Thanks for training advice and insight. Pure and simple.

Rich is a wealth of great training info. Appreciate his insights, solid guest list, and all he’s doing with TORC

Not a standard podcast that talks about the same thing every week. The topics are broad and the guests come from all kinds of fields/backgrounds. Whether it’s guests from OCR, the functional fitness space, nutritionists, strength, etc… there’s always something to learn!

Love this podcast and everything Rich brings to his listeners. His solo episodes, guest interviews, and fantasy drafts are all basically equally entertaining, interesting, and informative. Highly recommend if you’re at all interested in running, strength training, OCR, hybrid racing, etc!

I love the Reinforced Running Podcast. As an athlete coached by Rich I’ve gotten to see you close just how knowledgeable Rich is in all things training. He’s also very aware and stays in his lane, sticking to things he’s good at and knowledgeable of. He also knows how to apply the coaching and is just super relatable and relational. Love listening to the podcast, he gets the most out of his guests and is just a great listen on any run or ride.

Running and OCR focused conversations, but with a variety of coaches, athletes, and good minds in the field of competition, nutrition, and a broad spectrum of sport science. All OCR athletes should have this in their Que.

Rich is well versed in all things running and obstacle course racing. His knowledge of both running, general fitness, nutrition, and recovery will give you the pieces of the puzzle you’re missing in your own training. Rich being active in the sport is also great because he has other athletes on regularly as they share what they’re doing to prepare for many of the upcoming races that we the listeners are too.

The reinforced running podcast is covering all the hottest topics. Weather its running, ocr or the new sport of hybrid racing! Rich is always talking to legit professionals in all areas of these sports along with also doing a fantasy ocr draft. Super entertaining and informative! This is always on the top of my must listen to podcasts!

In a sport that’s already small and not so well-known, Rich manages to jump into some very specific topics that fill some very special niches for those of us who are extreme geeks for OCR, and I love this show for that! Whether it’s the post-race breakdowns with TORC athletes that give excellent in-depth details that we really want to hear, the pre-race prediction drafts that bring a whole different level of excitement to races (even ones we can’t be there for in person), or diving into the fine minutiae of nutrition and training theory, you can find real, helpful details here. Thanks for being there for we OCR geeks, Rich!

Rich puts out an excellent podcast. Whether previewing or recapping a race with TORC athletes or talking about training, Rich has the knowledge, experiences and performances to back up what he’s saying. His conversational style makes for an easy listen while out for a run or on a commute. He is genuinely interested in the points of view of his guests and is honest about what it takes to be a better athlete. Easy five stars.

Rich knows so much about hybrid racing and personally helped me rethink my training. If you’re looking for a podcast with obstacle course racing talk, cross training and running tips, even great guests who have talked about nutrition and health; give Rich a listen!

Rich brings a great perspective to what’s going on in OCR. He’s competing with the top athletes, knows what’s going on in the current race events and knows so many of the other athletes. Love how Rich shares his expertise on how to execute these virtual races. Rich brings on the up and coming athletes in the ranks for the TORC talks.

Easy listening with great information that is presented in a way that’s easy to understand. Big fan of this podcast

Rich is great at talking about topics that everybody can pull from to help with their fitness level. They talk about everything from slow runs to lifting weights. He is able to fight top athletes to come on his show and gets new ones every week.

Rich has great guests and always provides great tips to get the most out of your training! Thanks for the consistent content

I met Rich Ryan at Hyrox Chicago 2021. Guy is a beast out there on the course, Off the course, one of the nicest and most humble athletes Iv met in the sport. Was a pleasure to have met him. Hopefully one day I’ll reach a point in my time in this amazing sport, to where I can run toe to toe with these guys.

This is an amazing podcast for any athlete, but especially for obstacle course racers. Rich is a great interviewer. You can tell he’s really engaged and always curious, ready to learn and be inspired. And that translates easily to the listener. This is definitely one of my essential podcasts!

Solid, knowledgeable, accessible, and always positive-minded, great compelling podcast!

There’s nothing better than tossing the earbuds on and listening to Rich interview some of the best athletes and experts in the health and OCR/Running realm. This show is extremely informative on all things running and OCR related. Keep up the great work Rich!!!

I’ve just gotten into endurance running and am only an “aging” enthusiast, but love hearing the tips and perspectives from competitive athletes. Rich does a great job of covering different topics including nutrition, eating disorders amongst runners, strength training, racing, trail running, etc. He presents an interesting podcast, plus I usually learn something that I can apply to my own running hobby.

One of my fave guests so far - Ryan’s work ethic and dedication inspires. Amazing to hear about his transition from a legit basketball player to where he is now. You guys had awesome back and forth - you do such a sound job of guiding the conversation towards quality subject matter content. Great listen.

The amount of knowledge I have gained from this podcast is incredible. I always look forward to the weekly episodes and taking the information given and implementing it in my training. This is a must listen!

This podcast is a must for improving in the sport of OCR and or running!! From listening to top level athlete interviews including their routines, to getting game changing training techniques and nutrition information. Rich is not only a great coach but an all around solid guy and athlete.

Love hearing from a fellow northeast OCR fanatic. Rich has some of my favorite athletes on for some great conversations, everyone from Josh Ried to Cali Schweikhart! Great for people who are looking to up their training or who just want to hear from some awesome people in our sport!

Top my list for running and OCR podcasts.

Not sure how I have not found this one. Not a fan of the banter before the goods but hey. These guys do know their stuff.

You guys are some bro’s.

This is the best running podcast out there. So much knowledge dropped by rich and the guests he has come on. Keep up the great work!!!

I’ve enjoyed all the episodes and appreciate the effort put into getting quality guests who have lots of info to share! I love running but have enjoyed learning more about OCR too! Thank you! Coach Rich is awesome!

My favorite part about this podcast is the guests they choose to have on. In the OCR world we hear from the same athletes over and over but Rich and Josh find new athletes to get to know and learn from. It’s nice to hear from athletes other than the same ones we’ve been hearing from for years. Keep up the good work, fellas!

You guys picked my question in the latest episode about making my first elite podium. I think you guys have great advice about taking a serious look at my training. I think I can use these ideas to hopefully make my first podium. Great listen! Great podcast!

Great podcast for OCR athletes! I love hearing the perspective of all the various athletes who are guests on the podcast. Hearing all of the different training styles / techniques is really helpful and informative. Especially for someone who would love to have a coach, but cannot afford it on top of gym memberships, race fees, race gear, and just the cost of life in general. Lol. I have definitely started adding various training techniques/workouts/etc that I have heard on this podcast within my own training. This podcast also just helps educate you further about the sport itself. Some guest stars also have backgrounds in nutrition or ex phys and give good information in regards to diet, recovery, and more. Rich also adds fun to the podcast with fun questions to get to know the athletes more and makes the interviews light hearted and funny! This podcast gets me through long runs, long car rides, and boring treadmill workouts. Thanks Rich!

The conversations found within these podcasts are game changers. One knowledge drop after another. This is definitely one of my go-to podcasts each week.

These guys do a great job pulling out content that we can use as the listener. I get training gems every episode

One of my favorites for training tips and technique. I appreciate the content.

Entrepreneurial spirit is evident with Rachel Wyman and Dave Welsh. Insightful questions and answers. Dr. Conenello’s survival story was awe-inspiring. Great podcast. Great tips and recommendations to stay healthy when training for any sport.
