I’ll begin by saying I live in Portland, Oregon, but this “Portland” race is actually located about 40 minutes away, so there will be no location bias here. The Portland Spartan Sprint is hands down the best Spartan Race location in the nation. Facts are fact, Mud Run Guide fans!
The Mud Run Guide community is toeing the starting line around the world this weekend. At races like Spartan on the west coast of the United States to North American Obstacle Course Racing Championships in Vermont and beyond.
RXBAR offers a more natural bar for those looking to fuel their next race or training run.

2018 marks the first year Terrain Race has an event in both Denver and Colorado Springs. This was a brand-new race venue for participants and was a much different experience than the Spartan Fort Carson Honor Series from earlier in the year. Racers were introduced to new style obstacles, more mud than they had earlier in the year, and a fun family-oriented experience.
This week on Training Tuesday we feature Spartan's workout - The Barn Beast. Barn Beast was a name given to Jason Jaksetic (featured in the video) when he lived in Pittsfield, Vermont in Joe De Sena's barn.
OCRTUBE is the brainchild of Arnel Bawana. He has traveled around the world documenting obstacle course racing. He not only has created videos showcasing the race companies, recipes, and now he is working on a series to showcase the people of obstacle course racing called OCR Life.
This week's members were at the Spartan in Utah and Rugged Maniac in Canada. Showing us that couples who race together stay together and sometimes you just have to have fun at a race.
CLIF sent me a couple boxes of their new bars in Tart Cherry Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Wild Blueberry Acai filled. The three boxes didn't last long in our house between a few adventures and a quick snack the boxes were quickly gone. They were so good in fact, I have already been to REI to restock.
Roughly eight thousand people headed to Eden, Utah and the Nordic Valley Ski Resort to run what would be the final stop on the 2018 Spartan U.S. National Championship Series, a venue that is a great place for families to enjoy winter sports and recreation has been transformed into a battleground for Spartans from far and wide that proved to be a struggle for many, especially for me.
I’ve never done any of the typical recovery you hear. I don’t stretch, I don’t roll anything out, I don’t cooldown run, I’ve never gotten a massage, et all. Then my friend Spencer texts me and asks if I want to check out this new recovery clinic he recently started working for in Austin. I figure, why the hell not.
