Stadium Sprint Training Plan: Day 6 - Endurance
The purpose of cardiovascular endurance in a Spartan is to get you from obstacle to obstacle. As a Spartan, it is essential that you can both push your heart rate and push your strength interchangeably. Today is the day to practice this.
Perform today’s segmented run on any treadmill, road, or trail, focusing on finding a pace where you can keep moving through both cardio and strength without feeling the need to rest. Spartans do not need to be traditional runners; Spartans must be able to move consistently through cardiovascular endurance and strength-based tasks. Whether its life, training, or racing, continue to push yourself at a pace where you can keep moving and always try to find that extra 1 percent extra drive. Aroo!
