If you want to do Ultra or Enduro events, you’ll have to train LONG. You’ll want more power and explosive training than long-range endurance. You’ll train more speed and less long runs. If you want to be good at ALL short courses, you’ll have to master every company’s obstacles and keep up-to-date as they introduce new ones. If you do the Stadium Series you’ll need to work on your ball slams, stair running, box jumps, and more. You need to practice Atlas Carries, Hercules Hoists, the Bucket Brigade, Barbwire Crawls, etc. If you have decided on short courses, and you think Spartan Race is where you want to specialize, you need to become an expert at Spartan obstacles. But if this is the area you want to specialize in, go for it! Turns out they aren’t just amazing endurance athletes, they are also very fast. You love the short distances with the all-out effort! There are a plethora of short course races you can fly through! You’ll run into a lot of the athletes from the mid-distance courses in these races. This is where you’re going to be matching up with the majority of the best: Jonathon Albon, Robert Killian, Cody Moat, Ryan Atkins, Hunter McIntyre, Holby Call, or many more, you’ll have to learn to compete with these athletes. Do you want to compete with the likes of Atkins on super long races?ĭo you want to be the master of mid-distance races? You’d be competing between 7-25 miles. He constantly wins Spartan Race’s Ultra World Championship as well as World’s Toughest Mudder with over 100 miles completed in 24 hours.
He sometimes loses short, and mid-length races, but he is unmatched at long races (30+ miles). Ever heard of Ryan Atkins? If not, he is one of the best OCR Athletes in the world (some say he is the best).
