How to train for Spartans!

People see Spartan Races and assume it’s about CrossFit style metcon work but they fail to realize that Spartans are RUNNING RACES with obstacles.

The shortest distance is still 5k with only 25 obstacles which means most of the time is spent running.

The key to being a successful Spartan is being a good endurance athlete who is also STRONG!

Focus on your running, add in some specific strength, then with 6-8 weeks to go pre race you can do some combined sessions to sharpen for the race itself.
