This is our first episode of the new year!  Listen as we talk about the goals we set for ourselves in 2017 and whether or not we were able to achieve them. Also, you will get to hear what new goals we set for ourselves to accomplish in 2018.  You will also get to hear the heated debate about Joe De Sena's comment on 50 vs the original 30 burpees and whether or not mandatory burpee completion (for Spartan Races) should be a thing for all athletes or just elites. Another discussion that follows is more in depth feelings about the Ryan Woods DHEA results and how it should affect the sport. Also thank you for bearing with us as we tweek some show changes the next couple weeks! 2017 Goals video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDEGe-MHISo Obstacle Racing Media on 50 Burpees: http://obstacleracingmedia.com/podcast/joe-desena-burpeesless-innovation/ World's Toughest Podcast on Woods vs Perperis: https://worldstoughestpodcast.libsyn.com/059-the-talk-with-ryan-woods-and-evan-perperis Next weekend's episode will be learning more about what motivates Alex Youngworth on the team.
