Spartans

I just completed The Citifield Race. Do bodyweight exercises before your runs, AND after. Believe me, That's where I made my changes! LOL! Good Luck!

I did my first one last year and was intimidated by it but it was not so bad. The run is broken into segments with the obstacles in between. Take one at a time. Do some cardio work 2-3 times a week. It doesn't need t...

I ran this event last year, Helene's answer is exactly what you want to do really. As it's only 5km your CV endurance doesn't have to be high, as long as you can keep moving and tackle the obstacles as they come you...

Hi Dave! I am also doing my first Spartan Sprint in june and I subscribed on their website to the WOD (workout of the day). I receive everyday an e-mail with the training to do. It includes running and other kind of...

I am not very fit, but I am very strong and have great muscular endurance. I've not done much actual running, so would really appreciate ideas on how to start my preparation.

I'm giving serious thought to pursuing the coveted Trifecta this year. I think I've got it mapped out and it should be attainable.

Any hints?

I've done two Spartan Sprints (Malibu 2011 and 2012) and one Super Spartan (Arizona 2012). I'm training for the SoCal Super Spartan race in Temecula next month and the NorCal BEAST in April! AROO!

I competed in my first Spartan last month in a Spartan Founders Race and had an absolute blast.  What an amazing run it was, looking forward to the next one!  Had little idea what I was in for when I went but with a solid fitness plan and conditio...

yes the spartans were truly great warriors there dedication to training was disiplined and painful that is why they became the greatest army the world had ever seen  gary l

Hi guys!

I'm new, and loved the name of this tribe.  Anyone ever think about being like one of the Spartan/Greek demi God's while training?  Kratos ftw ;)

Happy Training everyone :D

Here is another event that you Spartan Warriors might be interested in.

Brissy sounds good. Do you know when that one is on??

If you eat healthy 90% of the time you still have more than a month, 36.5 days, to pig out each year. It is not as hard as it seems but it does require a little discipline, like most things worthwhile.

Spartan discipline came from the fact that the society had strict punishments for those who did not follow the rules....that's if you survived your childhood of course. Unless your trainer is pretty hardcore he/she probably isn't going to punish y...

The Spartans ate communally (so their eating was public) and lived off a type of gruel...their diet was considered to be so restricted and foul-tasting (it was actually pretty nutritious but dull as dishwater and pro...

After watching the movie 300, I deeply admired the Spartans. Partially for their bravery, partially for their teamwork, but most of all for their ridiculously rock hard abs. I want those.

Did my first Spartan on June 10th. It was amazing. I can't wait to do another one next summer. The gladiators at the end are a riot. They were coming at me with those sticks and I told them to not even think about it. I said that I had just finish...

Right, Stamina, Strength and Endurance is not a problem for us, so how do you, Spartan, get trained and eat for all of these?

Skipping is great idea! I'll have to get one and bring it to the vessel next trip. Cheers.

I definitely agree with Oluva about goals and milestones. Make lots of small goals so you're constantly acheiving them and improving. Also try skipping as it doesnt require a lot of space but its still great cardio!...
