Super Spartan Training Plan: Day 27 - Endurance

Welcome to your final run in your Spartan Race Super training. This run will be short and quick in comparison to our last 3 weeks.

Although we are dropping down our distance and our repetitions of exercises, be mindful today of your form with your exercises. Are you utilizing every muscle adequately? Are exercises feeling less challenging? How can you make these exercises slightly more obstacle specific? This is your challenge today.
