011: Kevin Donoghue - Diving in Behind the Scenes

Tales of Toughness

If you’re familiar with the Spartan world, you’d certainly recognize Kevin as the Spartan Pro, who's been on the podium in his age group last year in 30 separate Spartan events. Kevin is also the voice of Spartan on ESPN.

Stepping out of his comfort zone last year at the World's Toughest Race, Kevin took a job in production behind the cameras.

For him, it was an experience of a lifetime that brought out more weaknesses than he would ever have thought – but out of that mentally, emotionally, and physically brutal experience, he came out much stronger.

Today, Kevin gives us his different perspective on the race.

In this episode, you will hear:

• The physical and technical challenges of his job as an assistant cameraman at the EcoChallenge
• Kevin's Spartan race experience and how he trained for his races
• How the Spartan SGX came about and The Daily Burn Spartan
• A look into Spartan and OCR athletes Ryan Atkins and Rea Kolbl
• The camaraderies built from the race
• How he was able to bring out authentic conversations with the athletes
• Kevin’s personal challenges during the race
