Train for mountains without mountains – Kirk DeWindt

Strength training for Spartan Race

Obstacle course racing (OCR) has a lot of challenges. Running is hard, the obstacles are hard, and the terrain is crazy hard. 

Preparing for an OCR should not have to be a challenge – but many of us do not have easy access to a mountain or steep trails. Spartan Pro Team member Kirk DeWindt is no expectation – but he has figured out how to train on flat land and still kick butt.

Kirk joins Rich and John to explain how he has climbed the ranks in the Spartan world while living in a mountainless area. 

During the episode we cover:

  • What workouts you can do to improve in OCR.
  • If training like an OCR athlete can improve your V02Max and make you faster.
  • How to get better at climbing without having inclines and what you can do on your own.
