Trying (and failing) to jump start our way into shape for the Hong Kong Spartan Race
In the penultimate training session for the brutal 6 kilometre obstacle course, it looks like there is plenty of punishment in store for the Post reporters taking part
Delusion often follows every Spartan Race training session – “It wasn’t that bad,” I think, “I’m quite fit actually.”
But revisiting the movements has a habit of reminding us we are not blessed with a natural level of fitness, or in some cases, even coordination.
With less than two weeks until the Spartan Race on April 14, the group of Post reporters completed their penultimate training session with personal trainer Andrew Power, as they count down to tackling the challenge.
The Spartan Race is a 6 kilometre obstacle course involving monkey bars, crawls, weights, and electric shocks – with a set of 30 burpees the punishment for failing any section.
We have been training with Power for six weeks now, and on Wednesday we covered burpees and bear crawls to make sure we had not forgotten the technique.
