Tip #6 — Sled Pushes & Pulls

If your gym has a sled and you're not using it, you are leaving race fitness on the table.

The sled is one of the most underutilized pieces of equipment in any commercial gym — and one of the most race-specific tools you have access to.

It builds raw push/pull power with zero eccentric load, meaning you can hammer it hard without destroying your recovery. That's exactly what Spartan demands.

Low and heavy simulates the grind of moving obstacles. Fast and light builds the explosive power you need to surge over walls. Both matter.

🙌No sled? No problem:
Leg press with slow, controlled negatives gets you surprisingly close.

💪Focus on the push through the full range — feel every inch of resistance.

The sled doesn't lie. It doesn't let you cheat the range, the speed, or the effort. Neither does the course.

Push the sled. Push your limits.

Tip 5 — Training for the Sandbag & Bucket Carry

The Spartan sandbag and bucket carry are some of the most underestimated obstacles on the course.

They are awkward and heavy, and they come at you when your back is already torched and your grip is already gone.

Standard gym lifts won't fully prepare you for it — you need to train the chaos of an odd load.

Here's what actually transfers:
🏋️Heavy trap bar or dumbbell farmer carries — grip, posture, and grit all in one

🏋️Goblet squats — front-loaded and brutal, just like the bucket carry or sandbag

🏋️Bear hug carries with a plate or medicine ball — this mimics the exact position you might be in on the course

🏋️Weighted dynamic ball carry on an incline treadmill or stairmill - this trains your legs and endurance for the hills with that heavy load

The goal isn't just strength. It's learning to move efficiently when the weight is fighting you.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable with a load in your arms and that bucket & sandbag carry becomes just another thing you handle.

💪Train the carry. Own the carry.💪

Tip 4 — Treadmill Incline
Flat ground rarely exists at a Spartan Race. Your training shouldn't either. Supplement your outdoor hill training in the gym on an Incline Treadmill.

🌄90% of the Spartan courses are designed with hills — relentless, soul-crushing, beautiful hills — and if your training has been on level ground, your legs are going to find out the hard way.

💪Here's what actually works:
Crank the incline to 10–15% and walk/run it regularly.

💪Do NOT hold the rails. Feel every step.

💪Add treadmill intervals working up to your target race pace — this trains your legs to keep moving when they're already fried.

💪Progressive overload: add time and incline week by week.This builds the specific leg endurance and hip flexor strength you need to keep moving on climbs long after your lungs want to quit. It also mimics the fatigue patterns of the course better than flat running ever will.

Let's get ready to go out and CRUSH it!! 💪🏃

🫐Fresh Organic Blueberry Protein Muffins🫐

Makes 24 Muffins

🧈Ingredients:
1 cup cooked blueberry cream of rice, cooled
1½ cups almond flour
½ cup vanilla whey protein powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/2c honey
⅓ cup melted butter
½ cup milk (dairy or almond);
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1–1½ cups fresh blueberries, folded in at the end

🥄Mixing and baking notes:
Whisk almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt together first.

🥄Whisk eggs, honey, melted butter, vanilla, milk, and cooled blueberry cream of rice in a separate bowl until smooth.

🥄Combine wet and dry just until mixed; if the batter seems very stiff (whey can thicken it), add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it’s thick but scoopable.

🥄Fold in blueberries gently.

🍪Bake at 350°F for about 18–22 minutes until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean. 😍 Enjoy!!

Tip 3: Develop Core Stability under Load

A weak core doesn't just slow you down during a Spartan race — it breaks you down.

Spartan obstacles are a constant assault on your midline. You're carrying awkward loads, pulling from unstable positions, climbing over walls, and doing it all on terrain that's never flat.

None of that is possible at full speed with a core that collapses under pressure.

This isn't about crunches. It's about anti-rotation and bracing strength — the ability to stay rigid when the load is trying to twist you apart:

👉Planks — but make them hard. Add weight. Elevate your feet.

👉Ab wheel rollouts — the single best core builder most people skip

👉Pallof press — anti-rotation work that directly mimics what obstacles demand

👉Hanging leg raises — grip and core at the same time

Build a core that locks in and holds position no matter what.

When you're 7 miles in carrying a bucket of gravel up a hill, that stability is the difference between grinding through it and breaking down.

Brace. Lock. Move.
