The Best Mud Runs for Beginners

By |September 15th, 2015|

All of these events are big on fun, and in descending order of difficulty. WIPEOUTRUN is the easiest, all the way down to Spartan Race Sprint as the hardest "beginner-friendly" races. If you're looking for a good reason to get muddy and experience an actual mud run/obstacle course race with guys and gals, our best suggestion is to start with Warrior Dash. Yeah, we know you're the adventurous type - but recommend getting at least one OCR under your belt before you move up to Spartan Race Sprint; even the short distance is pretty darn difficult with mandatory obstacle completion (the only one on this list that requires it)!

Sport Specific Training And OCR

By |July 24th, 2015|

The principle of Specificity has been a long followed dogma in the field of sports performance. You may then ask the question, “how can I apply this sport-specific training idea to a sport like Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) where I don’t know what the course will look like until sometimes just a day before the event?” I contend that you know a lot more about that race than you probably realize and taking what you do know and applying that can help a lot when it comes to putting together a training program.
