Obstacle Course Training & Attaining Long Term Incentives

By Robert Sutter


When it comes to exercise in general, there isn't one action that people can get into more than running. Being able to move on foot does not require you to pay for much and this goes to show just how cost-effective a method it truly is. However, what about being able to do so with far more intensity by your side? I think that this could be done through obstacle course training but what are some of the benefits you can pick up on in the long term?

Intensity seems to go well with events along the lines of Spartan Race and there are many reasons for this. This level of competition goes to show that there are many elements that could come into play, each of them potentially eliciting more fear than others. However, being able to engage yourself in obstacle course training in the long term will do you a world of good. Mud and fire stand as just a couple of aspects to consider, as they stand as potential blockades in your way.

Endurance means a tremendous amount in any kind of race since it's very likely that you're going to be working hard in a certain stretch of time. You want to be able to put forth the best effort possible but can you do this if you find yourself becoming winded rather easily? These types of competitors have to make changes to the actions they go about when practicing. Perhaps there are strategies which have to be tightened up or maybe training in general has to be done more constantly.

Teamwork is, in my mind, one of the most important aspects so focus on this if the situation presents itself. You have to remain responsible for not only yourself but for the wellbeing of every person you're working with. There should be a strong sense of communication seen amongst you, which probably goes without saying. Each of you has the goal of finishing the race and doing so together can add another important element which may not be seen in other races nearly as often.

I believe that there is a lot of help that obstacle course training can give but it's up to you to accept it. You want to be able to work in a way that will be able to benefit you in general as well as potential teammates you might have on the field. Each of you should be physically fit to go through this race, levels of fatigue proving to be substantial. You should not tire out quickly and if this is the case, it is likely that changes have to be made to training in general.
