Spartan Beast Training Plan: Increase Your Grip and Mileage

 

During this training program, our main goal is to significantly strengthen your grip and to increase your mileage. This program is designed based on obstacle specificity and building your obstacle immunity. Not only will you walk into your Beast race with an increase in strength and cardiovascular endurance, you will also have a significant increase in your grit and your determination.

About the Spartan Beast

The Beast is a demanding race designed to test even the most seasoned athletes. This course is for competitors looking to turn up the heat and for teams who are ready to push each other through moments of doubt, all the way to the finish line.

The Beast may be 13 miles, but don’t make the mistake of comparing it to a half-marathon. We’re going to throw 30 obstacles at you along the way, so it might be the hardest thing you’ve ever done. Running a Beast is not just a competition against others: it’s a competition against yourself.
