Spartan Race or Warrior Dash

[bamajja]

I am thinking about running a Spartan Race and wanted anyone's opinion who has run one of these type races. Did you like them and what was your training routine like before you ran it? If anyone has done a Cathe rotation as training before running one that would be great to know!

Thanks

I did Warrior Dash this past spring. It was 3 miles. Ours was really more about getting down and muddy. Lots of running and crawling on all 4's in the mud. You can opt out of any of the obstacles. I opted out of doing the cargo net because I'm not too fond of heights. I already run a couple of days a week so between doing that and Cathe DVDs, I really did no other training. Good luck!

Thanks! My friend wanted to start with the 8 mile Spartan and I thought I should try the shorter one first! Good to know you can opt out of some of the obstacles.
