To Shock or Not During Obstacle Racing | Judgement Day

In a week I will be competing in the Judgement day race! Below is a very interesting point of view I share on why we should remove the electric shock obstacles from our races! The main argument being: how do we train to get better at it?



To Shock or Not During Obstacle Racing | Judgement Day

Wednesday, 1 January 2014

Before and during your Spartan Race - and a happy 2014

Eat a good breakfast - for my two Spartan Races, with my team, we have met in the morning for a good pasta, chicken and asparagus breakfast! 

Stay hydrated; drink two hours before your run, then or every hour during the race. Unfortunately Spartan Race is famous for being stingy with water (one station in 2012 and 4 stations in 2013 for the Beast) You’ll need more water during high humidity and hot temperatures.

Energy/ fuel; have some energy bars/ gel to eat during the race. In 2013 Spartan Beast there was a banana stand but by the time we got there there was no banana left!
