What does a spartan race entail?

http://www.spartan.com/en

A Spartan race is basically a running race with a lot of obstacles thrown in. The obstacles are pretty standard (rope climb, barbed wire crawl, heavy carries.)

The races are a lot of fun for me and it's a great way to measure progression of strength and endurance.

Haven't kept this thing updated! May just update with "SGX workout". I forget a lot of the reps we do. It's mainly just HIIT for an hour. I want to incorporate compound lifts but for now I think I'll just keep it simple.

Yo! I've signed up for a couple of Spartan races that I've been training for for the past week. I decided to start logging my workouts to keep track/reflect/fine tune my training sessions. This journal will probably start out pretty feeble and sketchy but the point is to refine as my training evolves and time progresses.
