Spartan race

[bayernstick1]

What kind of training should somebody be doing to prepare for a spartan race. I know it involves alot of running and climbing. So i would do some american ninja type workouts?

Running and climbing would help. Don't overthink it

 

[stevesmi]

a lot of long, slow, distance to build up your cardio as the cliche goes

when i was an endurance runner i would do a lot of this because it will not wear down your body and it works. set your watch to 40-50 minutes then go slow jog without stopping on grass

Treat your training like "practice". Perform the types of exercise you will be required to do to finish the race.

Spartan race is similar to crossfit. It's all about being strong, lean agile and quick.

I bet a lot of lifters at your closest crossfit gym also participate in spartan races
