SPARTAN Magazine - September 2014

In this issue

JUST RUN

Spartan Race is, at its core, a race. Sure there are obstacles thrown in to make you work, and we don’t keep the race flat. We also make you do burpees for each obstacle you miss in order to insure you don’t get comfy. In the end though it is absolutely a race and that means running.

What we find though is even some of the fittest people on our course aren’t comfortable doing something as adults that we did so often as children, for hours, smiling the whole time. Yet it seems running is a bad word in some circles. It is still one of the most efficient modes of transportation we have, not to mention one of the best ways to lose weight and feel better. This issue of Spartan Magazine is all about that oh so important activity. You can climb walls, ropes, throw a spear, but if you can’t run you’re missing a key part of this whole thing. So read a little, then strap on your shoes, get outside, and just run. You’ll find if you do this enough your next race, will be your best race.
