Running a Spartan Race with NO Training?!

[@TheJswerve]

I just did the 21k beast yesterday in Newberry, SC. No training, 49 years old. Finished in 5 hours. Very tough day.

[@lindam2837]

In spartan canada we climb ski hills, and it's easy to pick out those who didn't train ... A lot of puking and stretchers

[@michellabelle6357]

Yup... did the Sprint in Wakefield 4 times. First time I didn't really train and it sucked lol. Trained for the the next year and ran with the elites. Beat my time by 1 hour lol. Came up 126th place. Love Spartan Race's.

[@confusedsandwich7544]

Happened to me, volunteered for the race at Big Bear, and I was told I could get into a race for free. I was excited to maybe do a 5k or 10k but they threw me off the deep end straight into the Beast 21k. Still made it, hell of a first race.

[@seanroberts7695]

Retitle it to walking a Spartan. Where are the burpees?

[@Jess-vw7ej]

Do you have to do burpees for walking?

[@randomthought78]

@@Jess-vw7ej burpees for failing or skipping an obstacle...

[@jeso317]

Yeah, I feel like walking a spartan is do-able with no training as long as you aren't in complete horrible shape.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

In all fairness, it does make a lot of sense to walk after the water obstacles so you don't chafe.

[@polevixxxen24]

This was great to watch!!! Gave me hope for my first one, which is coming up soon.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

I actually ran my First ever Spartan race like that just to see what I can do before I began to train. Like a "before and after" for results. Naturally, the race I picked was a 15 mile Abomination in Vernon NJ this past April... Still finished it.

[@worldfamilyenglish]

omg actually did you like really do that like?

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

I wouldnt recommend doing this. You can get seriously injured if you dont train first. I recommend training. Pushups. Sit ups. Jog. Pull upz.

[@tonyobyrne5588]

@Rubén Mosqueira Ruiz Start training now. If you feel like you haven't trained enough by the time the Spartan comes to your area, don't sweat it - give it a go, but take it easy and don't take unnecessary risks.

[@Laszlo2693]

@Rubén Mosqueira Ruiz i have been doing it for 6 years now I have been in the top ten of elite sprint super and beast have done 6 races I train 4 times a week and run every day no smoking no drinking no sodas and other crap work hard for it AROOOO

You forgot burpees

[@mattweinberger1452]

My first spartan race will be this exact one in December. Thank you for showing me the course

[@veronicalaborde3946]

Good job! I'm more of a runner also. My fiancé and I are addicted to it and we don't train! It's something fun to do and to try and convince others to do lmao! Great video.

[@absentplaysauditore5653]

Oh gosh I'm doing this with a weighted vest xD

[@sercaps88]

You both should look into Spartan Trail! Same events but no obstacles.

[@Kebaldo]

this is the best method to get an injury. you have to train yourself even for a sprint, btw well done but be careful

[@nivcras]

Burpees?!

[@lovekeepsrollingtrucking7826]

Did my first race the other day and didn't train. Big mistake caught terrible cramps in both legs near the end and almost didn't finish. Definitely training for the next one lol.

[@klydeoliversecular8553]

Skipping some obstacles and no burpees??

[@ashtonwaters5312]

I did it for my first time at saraland al with no training and I only had to do burpees 3 times but it was really fun I'm thing about doing super but I'm going to train for that one lol

[@Vlabar]

This gives me hope for my first one in June

[@scirip2280]

why is no one doing 30 burpees for each obstacle failed ?? is that not a thing in the U.S ?

[@anotherdude9456]

Yeah we have to do 30 burpees here in the U.S. I know some people just half ass it and skip the burpees people are usually off to a side somewhere doing them. I try my best to do every burpee I hope he did. No point in doing a race if you don't do it right.

[@joyagonzalez5501]

Thank you for this

Dreamy Lullaby very cool! Yeah my start time was 1pm if I remember correctly. Was it his first race?? Did he enjoy his experience?

[@OliveWingedFox]

​@@greenspaces8487 Yeah, my dad and my sister started at 10 am. It wasn't my dads, but it was my sisters. They both had a blast doing it while me and my "baby sitters" watched them go.

[@gfole5900]

Very nice video,compliments!!!

[@Grffnbone]

Haha. Nice job! I’m in a similar position. I signed up for the NJ ultra, but an injury has kept me from training for the past few months. I’m going to be SO undertrained. Nevertheless, it’ll be a fun time and that’s what it’s about.

[@eddyyong66]

Awesome doing the spartan race with no training. I plan on doing the spartan races this summer and want to record it also. What type of camera and mount did you use?

[@eddiemiacoria8477]

Bro congrats , hell of fun I always saw it like a jungle gym for adults.. but how much to do course and is it timed or just complete at your pace.. great video. Keep it up.

Stay away from the keto plans, protein is recommended, Atlas carry, ballet for balance, loads of cardio with weight, pull ups, tire flips, and normal workout regiment daily, I'm doing one this year and I think without a doubt that I would beat it without any problems

[@miacanesfan1]

When you run a real race like the Big Bear beast or the Utah beast, it’s easy to find the people who didn’t train properly. They’re all lying down on the side of the mountain all cramped up and dehydrated from the brutal hills and 5,000 feet of elevation gain.

[@Fire91ful]

Thought it was 1.2k gain?

[@springichoose]

Damn....this is me

[@H3LIOTROP3]

I think Joe Biden can WALK a Spartan open race with zero training. My dead gramma can probably do it too

[@jacobholmes2418]

This is a joke. Looks like a bunch of bs. The walking talking and no training. Guys at my work were saying a spartan race was harder than a ironman. I beg to differ

[@Ctok23]

Honestly if you notice they struggled through even the simplest of obstacles. They skipped obstacles they couldn’t handle. His buddy struggled with a 2 m wall. This is a poor representation of what it should look like, but he kind of prefaced that by saying he did it without training. If nothing else it should show you that you can be lazy and put out minimal effort and still make it to the other end. That shouldn’t feel like a victory though. Like oh I did it, no you walked most of the way and skipped the stuff that was too hard. Even the spear was too heavy for them.

[@anotherdude9456]

It's really on the individual and what time you wanna get at the end, also if you run a competitive race elite, or age bracket, they are supposedly strict about the rules and burpees.

[@AidenZen88]

This is demeaning to Fitness.

[@god5535]

Says the gamer...

[@joeybrown6288]

So you can pretty much skip the whole damn thing

[@greenspaces8487]

JoeyBrownVlogs sure technically yes you could. The rule is anything you skip you have to do 30 burpees. They do make a point at the beginning of the race along the lines of “a medal you bought vs a medal that you earned.” So they’re fully aware that there are some people that do just skip the whole damn thing for sure.

[@Alyssa684]

You can do whatever you want in Open. Elite and Age Group you have to follow all the rules and do 30 burpees for any failed obstacle and only have one try at most.

[@marekbabik2791]

​@@Alyssa684will u get the metal in open ???

[@AntikesRom]

You managed rope climb, all overhead obstacles without any help and untrained at your first race?? Wow, that's awesome. But I simply don't believe it😄also, you've got just one try at the spear throw. After failure, 30 burpees😉I do not see a single one in the video (olympus failure for example). Don't get me wrong. But you have to do this inside the rules. Without, its completely meaningless

[@MK-_-Rob]

Just did my first spartan race (first race of any kind too). It was never insinuated that you had only one try at the obstacles. I saw volunteers actually encouraging people to try again. Its not like you make the race or an obstacle easier by needing to do it another time. Also the spear one seemed like it was just for fun, and you could wait in line to try if you wanted to. And not a single person did burpees for missing. I dont really believe the spear is a real obstacle.

[@DubKc]

Looks easy

[@benmlo]

Props to you bro! I can’t do it without training... 😂💪

[@greenspaces8487]
