Hey everyone,
A bunch of my coworkers are signing up for the spartan sprint in August, and while I'm already signed up for a few mud/obstacle runs, they were the low pressure kind.

I saw this article
http://www.tripfitness.com/beginners-guide-spartan-race-sprint/

It seemed very informative, but is it true? Does anyone have anything to add?

It's just the sprint, so it's the shortest path, but any tips?

Also is anyone doing the warrior dash, dirty dash, or blacklight run in MA?

    I am doing the Spartan at Mohegan Sun in CT in June. I am scared sh**less. My hubs installed a pull up bar in our basement... I am even scared of that. The Spartan website has "WOD" (work out of the days) you can sign up to get them straight to your emial every day. They are helpful!

    I currently can't do any pull ups, push ups, and I've never ever done a burpee.

    I guess I need to go to a play group to start with the pull ups?

    I'm working on my running right now but i'm going to find something to get me started in strength training, besides carting around my massive toddler.

    I'm really excited, I may not do well, but I can do this.
