To nail my Spear, I literally need to take 1 step left of the target I am aiming for to stand a chance of hitting it lol

@profbenperrin your welcome, and thanks for watching!

@@karllatraverse6772 Bonne chance! Pratique courir avec de l'élévation, Tremblant est apic!

@brandongomez1014 Thank you Brandon. It was a good race !

@Emilysadventures-dm2kv hey Emily ;)

@@2steve74 Thank you very much! 👊AROO!!!

@UnderCover_300blk Definately not the same, different goals, and protecting your country is way more honorable than racing ;) stay safe !

@MateoAGRoblox I do both during the winter. Set realistic distance goals and be ready to pivot in the event of bad weather. Either move the long run to a nicer day or change your long run for time on your feet. If you know you're running 30km in 2.5 hrs, convert it if poor conditions to running 2.5hrs and disregard distance. The best way to do this is to run an out and back but probably turn around 5-10 mins prior to midpoint because you will run slower in the second half. You don't want to run past 3 hrs unless you're going to do ultras. The risk of injury creeps up with not a lot of real benefits. Secondly, if you're doing a speed session / intervals, when the roads aren't clear instead of setting 800m or 1km or whatever your interval would be, set it for time, 3 mins hard 90 secs rest x 8 as an example. Consider doing some interval sessions on the treadmill, and it will measure your proper distance, and you can do distance or time. 60 secs hard, 30 secs EZ. For our purposes, you want to jack up your heart rate and get your body used to recovering quickly.

⁠awesome thanks for all that great info. I’m probably going to stick to doing my weekly speed session/intervals on the treadmill but we’ll see what happens.

@MateoAGRoblox a quality speed session on the treadmill will beat a crappy outdoor speed session any day of the week

@@JoshBye99 you might crush me in Brimacombe in the Spring ;)

​@jonathanbouchard12426 that's a goal of mine 😅😊

@Amanda_OConnor Thank you! I have encouraged many people to sign up for their first race. No one has ever regretted it and they have all been returning racers. It's a great experience!

Thank you very much!

@Baileyswonderland-bn4vg thank you girl!

@ your welcome

Hi

@yawwepiam8236 Thank you!!! Coming off Covid 3 weeks before that race, I was disappointed with the result. It was a morale killer. Thankfully, my two races on Sunday went well and boosted my morale, and the whole weekend boosted my fitness level, and I am more confident now heading to Sparta

@mikegilchrist6983 Thank you! The danger of running your first race is being hooked. Now, to plan your season for next year ;) Feel free to reach our if you have any questions.

@jonathanbouchard12426 will do man thanks!

@trevorconlon6466 I recommend you need to train for specificity. To run uphill efficiently, you need to get your body used to it. Flat running doesn't translate well to hill running. Try incorporating Hill Sprints and slower long runs on very hilly terrain. I also like to walk on treadmill with 15-degree incline with ankle weights and weighed vest to get the legs stronger with the uphill.

Lauren here, I just enjoyed watching this and re-living the pain cave of Sunday 🤣 thanks for posting. Good luck in Greece!

@@MateoAGRoblox Thanks for watching Lauren, let's keep on training and crush it next season!!!

@@jordanlebow7708 I train a lot, lots of hill running, lots of road running, lots of interval runs to work my top end speed. I'll hit 5000km this year of running.

@@jonathanbouchard12426 I need to follow your training regimen.

@Baileyswonderland-bn4vg Thank you, right back at you, my little Spartan!!!

@@JoshBye99 Thanks brother!!! See you there!!!! Let’s crush it!!! 110% on the Beast

@kaisser1993 it was a very dry course thus year. I had inov8 roclite

@@Baileyswonderland-bn4vg I agree

@NenadP thank you, but with the proper prep, you'll smash it!!! Volume and consistency will help you reach your goal!

@@profbenperrin good luck on your trifecta weekend! Crush it!!!

@@BeyondLimits12345 will do, will be next weeks topic :) I figured out how to put background music 🎶 on this video lol

​@@jonathanbouchard12426nice job with the music ☺️

@@jniertit Thank you ! 😀

@@Baileyswonderland-bn4vg you'll get your first Kids Trifecta medal 🏅!!!

@k-hops7792 Thank you for the feedback. Enjoy the rest of your racing season 😀 AROOO!!!

@JoshBye99 Thanks, brother ! Much appreciated. See you on the course ;) or dare I say a training run before haha !!! AROOO!!!

That's amazing. Competitive Spartan Races are great! You can really push yourself to the best of your ability. To train for hills in your cased you have some steady hills on the roads near where you live? During the winter months I can't use the ski hills for obvious reason, I will put a 10lbs weighed vest and run up and down the staircase in my house for a set period of time e.g 30 mins. Is it boring ? Yes! Is it effective? Yes. Make high incline treadmill, your best friend. Run at max incline start at 5-10 mins, my incline has a rolling hill program that's always an option. I like to be able to run 45 mins straight at max incline, and keep in mind the speed is slow, but I train to run longer without walking.

@@jonathanbouchard12426 awesome thanks for the tips. The staircase at home is definitely doable. I’ve also hacked my treadmill by adding a 4” wood block to elevate the front, so I can get it up to closer to 20% elevation now which I’ve been using to power walk/short sprints but wasn’t really sure how effective it was. I guess that will be my go to in winter :)

@MateoAGRoblox once it's not challenging enough, add ankle weights and a light weighed vest. The more we struggle with training, the easier race day will be!

@pinkchristmas4793 Hope you can use some of the information to help you get better :) see you on the podiums ! AROOO, AROOO AROOO!!!

@@Baileyswonderland-bn4vg I always have fun girl

@@Emilysadventures-dm2kv hi little Emily

Ready for your race?

@Baileyswonderland-bn4vg thank you Bailey, the grips do look cool and if only they were a bit deeper they would help more on mud ;)

Thank you Em!

@@vaidasmince553 happy I could help! Enjoy the intervals!

@@JoshBye99 thanks buddy

Thank you Ivan, having funnat the same time :)

Thank you very much for your feedback ! Same here, Olympus is unfortunately a lost cause... even building one would prove pointless since it would be made of wood. These events couldn't happen if it weren't for all the volunteers, I definitely try to thank them all on the way. I used to think like you that an Ultra was crazy, but on just my second ultra I got 1st place in my AG, it ain't that bad with proper training. Keep racing, and don't be afraid to try an ultra!

Thanks brother !

Your just like your daddy ;) that's why we need to run faster than other people to catch back up

We were fortunate it wasn't super hot, if not it could of gotten really nasty

Thank you girl

I hate it witha passion!
