If you're a regular PB&P reader, you know I'm a big fan of setting goals and challenging yourself to see what you're made of, whether it be in the gym, at work or in your personal life! For runners and other fitness enthusiasts, a Spartan Race is a perfect opportunity to do just that. To find out exactly what you're made of...and according to the folks at Reebok Spartan Race, "you'll know at the finish line."
So...what is Spartan Race?
Spartan Race has been a leader in obstacle races since 2005 and has been voted #1 obstacle race by Outside Magazine. Spartan Race features a race for everyone beginning with the entry level Spartan Sprint (3+ miles and 15+ obstacles), intermediate level Super Spartan (8+ miles and 20+ obstacles), the advanced Spartan Beast (12+ miles and 25+ obstacles), and the ‘99.9% need not apply’ extreme level Death Race.
Spartan Race prides itself on ripping its racers out of their comfort zones, and therefore does not provide course maps or details on what obstacles will be encountered. But for an idea of what you might expect during a Spartan Race, check out the video below:

I want to get better at running
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals is to run a marathon, preferably the Boston Marathon. At the moment that farthest I can run is 3 miles, so it's a work in progress.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to complete a Spartan Race and become an official bad ass. The teamwork, mental and physical strength needed to complete one of these is quite challenging and I would like to prove to myself I can do it.
ReplyDeleteI love being outside, running, and getting dirty! Once in awhile I gotta do something extreme though!
ReplyDeleteI need a free race.
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals is to run another marathon is year and beat my previous time.
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year was to run 12 - 5k's. I had only run 3 last year all together. I actually have lost count but think I'll be doing #13 next weekend. :)
