Be sure to know not only what to expect, but how to prepare for it.

How to Prepare for a Spartan Race

Your rudimentary three-day a week training regimen is nothing close to what you should be doing to prepare yourself for a Spartan Race. No treadmill or bench press can replicate what you will feel as you take on up to seemingly endless miles of rugged terrain and limit-pushing obstacles. For that, you need to immerse yourself in a training environment that mimics what you can expect to experience during a Spartan Race. Your training plan in the months leading up to your race should consist of:

Rather than focus on building muscle for aesthetics, train for functionality. Regular endurance training allows you to perform harder and longer while interval training aids that effort by helping to increase your anaerobic threshold. Total body strength circuits are essential as well as they prepare you for the numerous obstacles littered throughout the course. Pair all of this with optimal nutrition and scheduled rest days, and you’ll be well on your way to becoming a Spartan. Your local gym is highly unlikely to have all of the equipment necessary to prep you for race day. For that, you’ll need to visit EPIC Interval Training.
