The decision to enter the Super Spartan race this September was an easy one. A group of my coworkers signed up without really realizing what we were getting into and we've all been pumped ever since. We have about 2 and a half months to train for a race that is approximately 15km+, and includes roughly 20 obstacles along the which include chin-ups, climbing 8 foot walls, and rope climbing.
To start we decided to work on our endurance level to make sure that we could at least finish such a race. I was running roughly 4km, 3 days a week and I've since increased that to 7km on my lunch break 3 days a week, and then I focus on strength training 2 days a week with recovery on the weekend.
I've got a long way to go, but I'll keep you posted. I'm doing a 5km race at the end of June as a bit of practice; I'm pretty competitive and I need a personal best to chase after to keep me motivated.
