I've never... Spartan Ultra 50km (all obstacles course race) 🏃‍♂️

The most in-depth video, with the names of all the obstacles, and as close to the action as it gets in a 50km Spartan Ultra race. This race was done in Fayetteville, NC on Saturday, May 14th, 2022. Thank you all for your support.

YES,, another goal more accomplished. now you can see how difficult this race was a lot more distance a lot more obstacles. You are looking for them more and more difficult and that recognizes that you throw away the courage and training to face obstacles. I congratulate you with all my heart and I always send you my blessing.

I was there doing the Beast that day. Good job bro! Whoever does the Ultra has my upmost respect.

[@neverdonethisb4]

i'm moved and humbled, thank you for those words. i remember doing my first beast , it was in San Luis Obispo, CA

[@sagi2tarius-722]

it took me 3 attempts to finish Tahoe ultra. when complete, best feeling ever.

[@neverdonethisb4]

totally agree, the feeling of accomplishment is underrated . and im glad to hear that the first to attempts didn't stop you to fulfill your goal.

Great work what an achievement

[@neverdonethisb4]

thank you , i truly appreciate it. it truly is an unique experience

[@MrAlexmiele8910]

I need to actually test my endurance out on one of these flatter courses. I always do the Vermont beast… it’s gnarly.

[@neverdonethisb4]

i honestly didn't even research the altitude on the courses, i just did that one because the location was convenient lol 😆

[@MrAlexmiele8910]

@@neverdonethisb4 hahaha ya that’s why did the Vermont race. It’s the closest by hours. Just so happens to be one of the hardest courses 😂😂 almost 7k elevation gain on a beast. More then double for the ultra.

[@michaelmaldonado9914]

i would never do an ultra in vermont, i have so much respect for anyone who does an ultra in vermont because fuck that shit lmao

[@MrAlexmiele8910]

@@michaelmaldonado9914 I always saw those guys running past me… on their second loop, those people are wild men and women. Very honorable what they are able to achieve.

Great job the spartan ultra is no joke well done very difficult

[@neverdonethisb4]

Seriously, i was aiming for like 8-9 hours. But With the rain and muddy terrain 12 hours was 😵‍💫

[@neverdonethisb4]

@@JT-oc2dn realistically yes there's stopping, jogging and walking. at you own pace kind of thing.

Fayetteville Ultra was my first one. Did an Ultrafecta weekend. Congratulations

[@neverdonethisb4]

Congrats

How long did it take you, roughly?

[@neverdonethisb4]

oh geez, i don't even want to remember but it was like 12 hours. in my experience, note: some of the most painful moments will come after the race, not during but it's worth it saying you finished it haha

[@benda777nba]

wow this looks tough! I just ran my 1st beast in Granbury (Dallas) and I must say it was the hardest obstacle course ever! (besides my 1st race which was a tough mudder classic). Later I found out I actually had a low grade fever too so another obstacle I had to overcome!

[@neverdonethisb4]

Keep at it! It’s a truly unique experience being able to say i did it!

[@xHelloSushix]

did unjust jump to an ultra within a year?! what a beast!

[@neverdonethisb4]

hey yea i started doing crrossfit in september, did my first 5k in october , my goal was to do a marathon but ended up doing an extra mile ( well maybe a few more miles with obstacles) haha now i'm just training for triathlons, i'd like to do an Ironman but that's a little out of my budget at the moment. thank you🙏

[@adventureawaits5003]

Looks fun nice 💪

[@neverdonethisb4]

🙏 thanks and pretty challenging, not only physically but mentally as well

[@cbraypvanguard]

So, I’d say to just walk the whole course and save your energy for the obstacles.

[@neverdonethisb4]

people fight their battles in different ways, some want the easy route others don't...

[@cbraypvanguard]

I have one coming up August in Hawaii. Totally not ready for it. But hopefully 3 1/2 months with good training to prepare for it.

[@neverdonethisb4]

@@cbraypvanguard if you want it bad enough you''l find a way, leave with no regrets !

[@danielmarques9278]

Great job, what kit did you take with you? What did you do for food? I have my first Ultra race in a weeks time

[@neverdonethisb4]

just a generic water bag, and then i snuuck in there like 5 snacks plus w/e they had in the course which isn't much but i made it work,.. good luck , make sure to work your way there doing other smaller races even if it's on your own .

[@race_guru]

Nice

[@thrillan69]

Did you follow a training program? What’s the best way to prepare ?

[@neverdonethisb4]

I did race a few races before this one, I worked my way up with a 5k, 5k obstacle course race (ocr) 10k, 10k ocr 15k ocr Half marathon, 21k ocr , full marathon, and then this one I made sure i completed each one below jumping to the next one

[@neverdonethisb4]

All within a year it’s on my videos

[@neverdonethisb4]

All while also working out and doing CrossFit. Hope that helps

[@neverdonethisb4]

@@JT-oc2dn that wasn’t my case so i won’t ever know. Like i mentioned earlier i worked my way up starting with smaller races. Making sure that i know im capable of doing more on the next one. 💪 I’ve heard a few stories of some that jump for too much too fast and don’t finish. Stay strong 🧠

[@DaybyDay_100]

What was your time?

[@neverdonethisb4]

Like 12 hours

[@Delabrian]

Did you finish the Olympus obstacle?

[@Delabrian]

Also congrats on finishing 🎉

[@neverdonethisb4]

I did all of them the first try. But the second time around, not all of them.
