I am training for a Spartan Race in October and found this free ebook with an 8 week training guide. I thought it might be fun to start an 8 week challenge starting the first week of July. Maybe on the 5th so that we can enjoy the 4th. Let me know if anyone is interested!
Here is the link to the ebook: http://www.spartanrace.com/spartan-race-guide-to-obstacle-racing-ebook.php?ebooksource=103048

If you guys have any ideas of a start date I am up for changes too. I am ready to start on the 1st so lets get a group together for this challenge!!

    I would love to be in if you will let me. The 1st is great to me but it seems more practical to start it on the 4th as you said just to let everyone have there final big eating whatever they want day lol.

    Spartan has an awesome WOD they email out each night. I've yet to do them, but I've thought about it... I did my Sprint a couple of weeks ago but I'm doing the Super on September 7th and the Beast on September 28th. I just downloaded the eBook. I have to be flexible with my workouts though, so I don't know if I can follow a plan.

    Yeah I get the WOD & FOD too. You could just join us and do the days that you are able with your schedule.

    3rd!! I'm freaking out about my first! I am 20# over weight and out of shape from 2 years of bulking my brain and ignoring my body in Grad school! Fail!! I am hoping the 8 week training guide will help me out!

    Nice! I'm in GPT! We'll have to get everyone who's doing this race together for dinner or something before or after the race! It'd be awesome to meet after and 8 week training session!

    I am doing the Sprint in the Northwest on August 4th. I've been doing Insanity and will finish a week or so before the race. I am going to go hunting for the ebook.
