I am using workouts a lot like this “Hurricane” Training workout to prepare for a 50k Spartan “Super Beast” I have coming up in about 10 weeks… and I have to say… I feel like I’m in some of the best shape ever, at the age of 40!

At this stage of the game, I want to be:

– Healthy
– Strong
– Lean
– Conditioned
– Flexible
– Injury – “proofed”

…and workouts like seem to be just the ticket.

Over the last eight or nine years, I’ve trained 11 different groups for various different Obstacle Course Race – type events.

Without fail, the people who make it through the training get leaner, stronger, and just overall BETTER by the end.

I put together a 12-week training plan, based on these experiences, to help YOU do the same. You can get the same benefits, whether you are specifically preparing for an Obstacle Course Race or not. This 12-week training plan is going on sale later this week, so stay tuned!
