Welcome to your new Spartan Beast Training program, Spartans. This plan features Spartan Race-approved workouts. As we progress into our Spartan Race Beast training, our intention is to continue to build on your previous training from our last 28-day program, the Spartan Race Super training plan. If at any point in time during this program you see noticeable weaknesses, please refer back to our pulling days from our last program.

During this training program, our main goal is to significantly strengthen your grip and to increase your mileage. This program is designed based on obstacle specificity and building your obstacle immunity. Not only will you walk into your Spartan Race Beast with an increase in strength and cardiovascular endurance, but you will also have a significant increase in your grit and your determination. These Spartan Beast Training workouts will prepare you your next Spartan.
