Practice Before Spartan Race

Promotions & Recommendations

Joining the obstacle racing challenge is not something we can play around with especially this coming Spartan Race Socal CA January 28th-29th 2012, as well as the upcoming stage in Arizona and Florida during February 2012. It’s not the race for kids and girls where they can hangaround the race and like walking in the garden. Spartan Race is a true mind and body stregth test which allows one to join the obstacle race with a length of time. We would like to recommend something before a person jumping into the race without preparations. Starting off by registering and paying for the race at the site. Racer can always use Spartan Race Promotion Code to get discount and that’s a clever way to do this. After the registrations, racer should start to get fitting immediately. The most common drawback from not getting fit & firm from any sports activities are such as muscle pain, flu, weaken muscle and tissues, and the ablility to recover slower than those who does regular exercises. Racers can always subscribe to Spartan Race Newsletter as there will be almost recommendations and suggestion through the racer’s email on regular basis. Now, in order to get ready for the race, those who are certain to join should try any of these warm up of the day that Spartan Race has recommended through its newsletter:

Warm up: One mile run

Five Rounds:

• 1 Minute – Weighted Situps
• 30 seconds – Flutter Kicks
• 1 Minute – Rollouts
• 1 Minute – Plank
• 1 Minute – Russian Twists with medicine ball
• 1 Minute – side plank right/left side5 -

-  7 rounds One buddy runs while the other does the strength set, then switch 20 Push-ups, 20 Box Jumps, 10 pull ups, 20 Air Squats, 60 Second Plank, End with 400m Buddy Carry

-  Long run AND mix in some strength – Do your long run (that is unique to you) but throw in a set of a strength exercise at every mile or set time interval. For example: 13 mile run with 10 burpees at each mile or 3 hour run with 30 lunges every 20 minutes

-  Grab two 5-35 lbs dumbbells, Run/hike 2-4 miles (preferably hills, can put weights in backpack)

-  With weights: 200 squats, 200 lunges, 2-4 miles run/hike (yes, with weights)

-  We shall neither fail nor falter; we shall not weaken or tire…give us the tools and we will finish the job. w/u – 15 minute jump rope optional 3-5 mile run, then the Cindy: 5 Pull-ups, 10 Push-ups, 15 Squats, (as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes)

Warming up before the race begins is critical and we should not leave these schedule aside.  Don’t say that you don’t have enough time for the day as this is something we can always do at home after work.  Those who do warm up before the race tend to have a better chance to get to the finished line more than those who don’t ( Luck is not the part of this ).  Stay tuned for more recommendations in warming up for Spartan Race!
