    Hyrox and OCR split!
    I complained in a review previously that I didn’t like surprises, if I clicked Racebrain I wanted to hear Rich, Jack, and Brakken. The episodes with Matt were great but an unknown, you all changed it and it’s a show on its own. Thank you! More RaceBrain swag please!

    Pyramid Scheme
    Really enjoy every episode! I know that OCR content has been tough lately, but still appreciate all the coverage of these events. Be cool to have Kirk back every once in awhile. Thank you guys!
  • HeatherCouz1193
    Dude, these guys are just the best
    These guys are funny, know their stuff, and they back it up!! SUBSCRIBEEE
  • KwaderAROO
    Laser Pistols?
    “Send it to……Nazareth!!!” Rich with the quote of the day on the 3K Palmerton/Poconos epi. Quiz segment should be called: “Jack’s Facts” (You’re welcome;) Brakken WAS look’n 👀 yoked on 3k course. Banter on POINT 🎯👍
  • mike4537
    Great show
    Ever since Jack upgraded his dial-up internet this show has gotten really good- whether you’re interested in OCR, hybrid fitness racing, or are just a runner. The banter is fantastic. Brakken is smooth with his endless monologues, Jack has the sense of humor you’d expect from an Aggie engineer, Kirk sits on the periphery and injects his wisdom and wit, and Rich herds the crew with his trademark Philly brand of sarcasm and humor. Glorious!

    Best OCR collaboration podcast
    Bringing great athletes and podcast hosts together to form Race Brain has been awesome. The hosts are money and the content is fun and knowledgeable. If you found this pod, check out Reinforced Running and The Running Public for more content. Good job fellas and don’t be afraid to get out there for real Spartan races again, not the 3K baby stuff
  • Brett (the T-tex) milks
    The best
    I do believe this was a great Idea guys to make this podcast! Reinforce, and the run in public and now race brain podcast helps us become better athletes and our weekdays are 💯 % better with the podcast Thank you guys 🦖
  • Truth Be Told 22
    OCR podcast hosted by people who actually run OCRs
    Who needs ORM when you have Race Brain?
  • Dr. Jonathon
    Perfect!
    Exactly what everyone in this realm has been waiting for from the people who live it! I look forward to this every week
  • GroundPounder-RLTW
    Loving the Content!!
    Gents- great work on the show! Always entertaining, full of knowledge, and keeps me coming back for more! 5 Stars !! ~ CJ D!
  • tlambo13
    Love It!
    Three hosts from two of my favorite podcasts, plus the infamous Jack Bauer who has saved the world a million times and has all of the numbers to either back or contradict all of the absurd stuff that Brakken says. Who can ask for more?
  • Singletrackscott
    Just what the hardcore fans asked for!
    If you’re a true, analytical fan of the sports of OCR and hybrid racing, this is the show that all other OCR podcasts have fallen short of, now fully realized by some of the top minds and personalities of our sports. Rich, Jack, Brakken, and Kirk mesh very well right from the word go, and while I sometimes feel they gang up on Jack a little too much, those breaks help to keep the overall tone light and fun, in spite of their covering some deeply nerdy and in-depth content. And unlike other podcasts who’ve tried to do shows like this, these four have the true knowledge and experience to back up their analyses, and to provide truly meaningful insight that’s both fun and useful. As a tool to both learn from and keep you engaged from one event to the next and all the days in between, this podcast will keep you listening and growing your love of this sport and all its many details. Great job boys, can’t wait to see this show grow and help carry the sport forward in its own fun way!
  • Kick butt the awesome
    Yes!!!
    Reinforced Running and Running Public pods are two of my fav OCR related shows and putting these guys together with Jack for the in depth analysis and debate of the athletes, races, and issues in the sport has me on OCR Cloud 9 right now! Looking forward to more from Race Brain!!

    Listening to these guys during my runs has changed everything! They are so engaging, knowledgeable, relatable, and just plain awesome! Their advice is spot on and so applicable. I have more control over my running already. So happy I found this!

    Love this group of guys together. They bring such a good and fun energy with their banter, lots of great intel into the sport (coming from impressive athletes themselves), and Kirk is my secret podcast crush #MachoMan 🔥 It’s exactly the podcast this sport needed. So good!!!

    I’m happy this crew of knowledgeable OCR and hybrid fitness guys has formally come together for a podcast. Keep the content coming — including the witty banter. But be careful with two redheads on one show. Things could get dicey…
