Am I crazy for considering this?
Spartan races are coming to Perth next year and they have their Super Spartan on Saturday and then the Spartan Sprint on Sunday.
I'm planning to do both. I've done a few obstacle runs so far, but haven't done any spartans.

Any advice besides train, train and train some more?

    Pull ups, push ups, burpees, and bear crawls.

    As some one that has done a sprint, and is about to do a beast, these muscle groups are definitely important.

    As for the running...find some trails and run an hour two to three days per week. Once you maximize your hour of running you'll do great! Aroo!!

    Practically all my running is on trails, or at least on hills so that is covered. I'm hoping to have my weekly 'long run' up to around 13miles, with my weekly total around 23 miles.
    Burpees trash me, but I'm doing the 30 challenge and I think I'm going to make it part of my daily thing, pullups/pushups definitely starting on them again. I'll have to investigate bear crawls.

    I'm hoping I can get my running base to a point where I may actually be competitive over both days. (Freaking long shot!!)
