Complete a marathon
Get a Spartan Endurance Trifecta
This is a goal I have been working to since I fell in love with Spartan Races! This means completing the Ultra Beast, Hurricane Heat 4hr and Hurricane Heat 12hr; aka some really hard work! The 12hr is a long way away for me but since seeing the guys complete it in Marston Lodge last year, it has been on my mind.
Toughest Mudder
An 8 hour event through the night where you run as many 5 mile laps as possible. Yes please! After doing Tough Mudder for the first time last year, I got hooked pretty quickly! So why not go big! Year of endurance right?
Races
With all the endurance events I’m planning there is no better training then doing actual races! I will do at least 1 normal Spartan Trifecta (I need to get at least one set of the new 2018 medals!), Tough Mudders (want to reach my 5x headband), Nuclear Races (thinking of doing all 3 race types but this is very dependant on my diary). I would like to try some new races I have yet to do also. The ones that are standing out are the Rat Race Dirty weekend which looks amazing, the Zombie Apocalypse Race (I loved the section at Mudnificent 7 last year) and the Nuts Challenge which I’ve heard good things about.
Run Distance
With a combined distance of 330km racked up last year, it’s time to step it up! The aim is 500km! I might need new shoes after this happens!
Overall Fitness
Becoming a better athlete across the board is a big thing to me. This means not only going to the gym and running, but incorporating things such as swimming, cycling and rock climbing/bouldering into my activity. I know this can only make me better when it comes to OCR!
