JOSH HOWELL // Spartan Racing Enthusiast, Dad & DIY'er

I conquered my first Spartan Race back in 2018. A Spartan Sprint (5K), completing all of the obstacles and finishing in the 2 percentile.

I trained for less than 3 months and wasn't exactly super-fit before that. What I did do though was use my love of learning to make a detailed plan on how to succeed.

Since then I've completed over 14 Spartan Races including an Ultra (50K, 60 obstacles) and a Trifecta Weekend (a Sprint, Super & Beast over two days).

I love running Spartan Races - it makes me feel like a kid again. Now I want to share that enthusiasm with others and help you reach a new level of fitness!

After a short conversation with Joshua, I began to see my own super cape unfurling! He outlined key elements to required for approaching a Spartan race adventure. Sure, he hit on the physical training components, but beyond that he focused on beginner mindset, injury prevention, creative strategies like watching videos and, my favourite, FUN!

Frequently asked questions

Still aren't sure if you're up to the challenge? Check the FAQs below or shoot me an email if you've got a specific question.

What is a Spartan Sprint?

A Spartan Sprint is the entry level Spartan Race. It's a classic obstacle course experience featuring 20 obstacles. You'll run for 5 kilometres on an off-road trail course usually with water and/or mud. You'll climb over walls, under barbed wire and up ropes. You'll traverse monkey bars, carry heavy stuff and even throw a spear - it's a LOT of fun.

It looks so intimidating. I don't think I can do it.

I thought the exact same thing before signing up for my first race. I even chickened out a few times. It wasn't until I learn that my aunt, who's a decade or two older than me, had already completed a Tough Mudder, that I started to think "well, maybe I COULD do one". First you've got to BELIEVE it's possible and knowing someone who's done it helps immensely. Taking this online course is the next best thing to knowing someone in person who's done one.

What if I can't even do 1 burpee?

The finish line, in this case it's completing a Spartan Sprint, is the same for everyone but... the starting line is different for everyone. I've designed this course with this in mind. Can't do a burpee? No worries. Let's start with push-ups. Can't do a push-up? No worries. Let's start with planks and build up from there.

What if I hate running?

Many people don't like running. It's usually because they try running too fast too soon. Then they get an injury and think "running is not for me". That's why I've dedicated a whole module to learning how to enjoy running.

I’m an experienced athlete, will I still get value out of this course?

Yes, but only if you haven’t done a Spartan Race. You’re probably familiar with training fundamentals and mental toughness but this course will help you learn what the Spartan Race Obstacles are, what techniques to use and how to tailor your training for this type of event.

Can I do this with a friend?

Definitely! If you do both this course and the Spartan Race with a friend, you'll both likely to do much better than on your own. I highly recommend getting a buddy you can train with. It's more enjoyable and you can hold each other accountable.
