Obstacle Running Adventures

Last episode we had Miranda Kilpinski on the show to talk about her return to obstacle course racing, and her win in New Jersey. Jordan McDougal took the win for the men and had a return to Spartan racing for the first time in a while so I invited him on as well!

Jordan talks about what he has been doing since we last had him on the show 3 years ago, his torn meniscus, the race itself, plans for the rest of the series, and more! Be sure to check out his McDougal Obstacle Lab as well for some fun fitness ideas for kids!
