Endurance Races involving obstacles are becoming ever more popular and training up for these events acts as a perfect training incentive. (Not having a clear goal is often the defining factor in whether someone keeps up the hard work, or decides to “sack it in”)
Here at 5S Fitness we take a more educated look at how to effectively train an individual towards achieving their sporting / fitness goals.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when training for these events is that they concentrate entirely on running. Obviously running is a key aspect of any endurance race, however running alone will simply not strengthen and condition the body to the point where the individual will be performing at their best.
Without the right Strength & Conditioning implemented into the training regime, the individuals performance is going to be far less efficient… Not just on the obstacles but also on every stride they take. Specific conditioning will also dramatically reduce the risk of injuries being sustained… Strength & Conditioning is the base of all programming!
