What to Expect at Your First Spartan Race Super 

Totally agree! You are spot on. 6miles/10k is our standard run distance now on the weekends. It's the perfect length. The signature obstacles at the Spartan Super are also awesome. They are what really make the Super stand out. We wish there were actually more Supers around us.

Yes, agreed

Excellent! Glad your Sprint at Bethel went well! I hope you take on the Super. We are shooting for Bethel NY Super this year as a matter of fact. It is a great spot, and if you've done the Sprint there, you'll be familiar with the terrain and be in really good shape to take on the additional distance. The signature Super obstacles add an additional challenge, but since you've done the rest, you know what to expect for 80% of the race. If you do it, we hope to see you there, so hit us up beforehand if you decide to go for it. AROO!

@@OCRKings I'm signed up and currently waiting for the map to drop. I've even convinced my 17 year old daughter to run it. Hope to see you there!

Aroo!!

WOW! Three Trifecta Weekends, awesome! Good luck out there with your 3x Trifecta, keep us posted throughout the season as to how it's going. We may cross paths at some point this season, we're hoping to get out to more races this year. AROO!

Can't wait!

Thanks!

Super exciting (see what I did there?) - good luck everyone out there in SoCal!!

Yup, totally agree with you

👍👍

Happy New Year my friend! Here is to new adventures in 2024!

Winter is tough, esp. with the holidays. Too cold, and too much food. Looking forward to putting in some miles starting this weekend.

You guys have had a lot more bad weather this year than us in MN. but today we start the real cold 🥶

Stay warm!

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you!

Happy new year!

Thank you!

Yessir! Happy New Year my friend, best to you and the family!

Agreed!

very true

You will both be GREAT! If you strength train and are at the gym that often, you will do fine, don't be nervous. For Spartan beginners, if you have no obstacles to train on, just work pullups into your routine. They'll work the same muscles you'll use to climb and pull yourself up or across most of the obstacles at the race. Pullups will also work grip strength. If you can get out and run, especially in the gear you intend to use/wear at the race, even better. Stick together out there on the course, take your time when you get to the obstacles, and just have a good time. If you have any specific questions, esp. about particular obstacles, hit us up ocrkings@gmail.com. AROO!

Ok, it might be a good idea to try out a Sprint first. If you are in decent shape, you should be ok. Sprints are the shortest distance (5k/3miles) with the fewest obstacles. This race can help you gauge what to expect for the longer distances (Super and Beast). If you can run a 5k with little or no difficulty, you're gonna be fine. If not, start run training. If you can do pullups without much difficulty, you're also going to be ok. Pullups work the same muscles in almost all of the up and over obstacles and well as the go across ones (like monkey bars, etc.). Not a bad idea to work pullups into your workout routines in general. For most of your training, it's a good idea to work out in the gear you plan to run the races in too. Try out your footwear, your clothes, your hydration/snacks, and any packs you might want to use WELL in advance of your race. You may not need a pack for the shorter distances, but depending on the temperature and elevation of where you intend to do a Beast (21k/13miler), it might be a good idea to plan on wearing some sort of pack and have some hydration and/or supplementation in there. Not sure if this helps. Please hit us up if you have any more questions and we'll be glad to help.

Happy New Year! So far looking at Jacksonville, and NJ multiple times for Spartan, then NY and CT for a few other races, then NYC Marathon in Nov. More to come I’m sure. How about you??

The OGs of RU-vid OCR tutorials. Practical, realistic and based on real world experience. Happy New Year guys. See you on the course.

Thank you sir! Hope to see you out on the course and in the greater NYC area later this year!

Spartan Supers are like the middle children of the franchise. Many flock to the Sprints, then save up and go big with Beasts. Supers are kind of hanging out there. They have the cooler obstacles like twister and beater. Trying to create some buzz there.

why was this video buried under a ton of crap on the suggested videos feed and not available at all on the yt home page when i logged in?

sad but true

they hate us so it seems
