Episode 60: How to Run a Fast Obstacle Course Race

Episode 60: How to Run a Fast Obstacle Course Race

Warrior Dash is a fun vacation from more traditional road racing. If you're bored and need a new challenge, an obstacle race might be just the cure.

They're fun – but you need the right training to prepare yourself for the challenge of completing a difficult obstacle course. With obstacles every few hundred feet on courses that are almost always hilly with uneven terrain, it's downright difficult to maintain your pace and get in a groove.

But there are specific ways that you can train to ensure you have a successful race. Make no mistake: whether you're running a Warrior Dash or Tough Mudder, these aren't your typical road races. It takes a particular mindset to conquer them. Here's how.
