SPARTAN MOUNTAIN SERIES TRAINING PLAN

SPARTAN MOUNTAIN SERIES TRAINING PLAN

Our Spartan Mountain Series training program is designed to introduce Spartans of all skill levels to the proper training needed to get up, down and through whatever each Mountain Series race throws at you. Your legs will be tested, your grip will grow stronger, and just when you think you can t quite make it up any higher, your body will shut your mind off and continue trekking. Over the next four weeks, you will maximize your leg strength, while also growing your upper body strength to help you to overcome the most signature of Spartan obstacles. With the addition of mountain-specific cardio workouts, you are sure to be completely prepared for the steepest of climbs. Get ready, Spartan. You re about to run head first into the toughest and most effective Spartan Training Program to date.
