Expert Training Tips to Dominate the Spartan Super

Preparation doesn’t stop at packing. Crushing the Las Vegas Spartan Super requires targeted training.

Build Strength

Focus on compound exercises like deadlifts, pull-ups, and squats. These moves mimic the functional strength needed for obstacles like wall climbs and heavy carries.

Endurance Is Everything

Integrate HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) and distance running into your routine. Alternate between sprints and long jogs to develop stamina.

Mental Resilience

Spartan Races aren't just physical—they're mental tests, too. Incorporate mindfulness exercises and mental visualization to stay calm and focused when things get tough mid-race.

Train for the Unknown

OCR-specific workshops can teach you technical skills for rope climbs, carries, and burpee technique. Many Spartan enthusiasts swear by Spartan's own training program, Spartan Edge.
