Crush Your Week: Project 300 Week 18 Workouts

BY The Spartan Editors

Welcome to Week 18 of our 28-week Project 300 bodyweight training program, designed to build strength, endurance, and overall athleticism while prioritizing recovery and injury prevention.

By strategically blending running, strength, and conditioning sessions, our Project 300 program will help you develop a well-rounded fitness foundation for long-term performance and health. Each week for 28 weeks, you'll have five days of work, one day of active recovery of choice, and one rest day. Each day, your workouts will be one of the following (except for Sunday, which will always be your rest day):

  • Running and Strength: steady runs with targeted strength training

  • Conditioning: high-intensity, full-body sessions

  • Strength: focused strength training

  • Long Run

Your running distance will begin at 3 miles and you'll work up to a max distance of 13.1 miles. This program will be released on a weekly basis.

Welcome to Week 18, and get psyched: This weekend, you'll very nearly hit a 10-mile run and you're closing in on the final handful of weeks of the program. We hope you're feeling proud of what you've accomplished so far, and confident that you can bring it home now. In less than 10 weeks, you'll be primed to conquer anything. Let's get started on the week.

If you're just joining us and want to start at Week 1, find that here to get started.

What are the benefits of adding mobility exercises to your workouts?

Each week throughout the Project 300 program, you'll have an active recovery day that's engineered to focus in on controlled transitions and/or deep stretches, refresh your body, refocus your mind, and tap into the enthusiasm that will keep you going for 28 weeks strong. In addition to this week's 20-minute walk, we recommend adding in some box breathing, plus a dose of hip, hamstring and shoulder mobility movements.

Here's why adding a mobility workout to your weekly programming is always a good idea:

  1. Relieves muscle and joint stiffness

  2. Increases range of motion

  3. Improves functional movement and ability to do everyday tasks

  4. Improves mental focus

  5. Preserves joint health

Monday: Running and Strength

This running and strength day pairs a focused run with targeted strength work to continue building endurance, power, and durability.

  • Alternating scorpion

  • Upward dog to downward dog

Run:

Run for 5 miles at an easy pace and aim to maintain the same pace throughout the run. Remember to keep it conversational: If you can't hold a full conversation, you're probably going too fast. And if you're feeling any aches or pains – or just need a low-impact substitution for now – we recommend cycling for 15 miles instead.

Complete as many reps for quality as you can in the allotted time.
