I just signed up for my first Spartan Race on May 11th, has anyone done one? Any tips for training? I am excited and think it will be a fantastic challenge, but I just want to be prepared!

    I did my first one this past Saturday with a group of friends. It was a lot of fun! We were in the first heat so it wasn't *too* crazy muddy yet. :)
    Rope climb was the toughest --- rope was so skinny and muddy ... I got almost to the top then crash all the way into the pool below! Burpees with water & mud streaming in my eyes weren't fun, lol.
    I definitely want to do it again!

    work on upper body strength and grip strength. i'm training for tough mudder and during every run, i run stop by the park and do a few rounds on the monkey bars. kettlebells are also great at improving grip strength.

    also work on endurance. the course is likely going to be uphill so do some uphill sprint training too.
