I ran the 5k sprint in Big Bear Lake, CA a few weeks ago. Your tips in this video were spot on. The only obstacles I failed were multi-rig and rope climb and both were just not having the grip strength and climbing technique.. I didn't realize how steep the climb would be and the 5k seemed like way more. I'm training for the 10k next year!

[@iashawoodham7538]

Thank you for the tips! I'm looking forward to the video of your Spartan race!

[@sherwoods667]

Really cool video, I’m prepping for my first 5k spartan right now and this was really helpful! Thanks!

[@ramonveltmeijer9961]

This video really helped me. I trained a lot and have my first race tomorrow!

[@veroninou4594]

Thanks for the advices Morgan i’ll be doing my first one this year 😁

[@gianpy22000]

Hi Morgan, hope to see you in a Spartan or OCR race in Europe. I'm not a pro, but amateur one and I race in my age group from 5 years. I love them. God luck for your first Spartan.

[@FeelGoodOK]

Very good video! Someday I'll use your tips to prepare myself for this kind of competition!

[@gottahoopemall]

This WAS awesome! Great video so easy to listen to and watch

[@TheRunExperience]

You are welcome! We are so glad you liked them!

[@abdulgani4214]

Thank you so much

[@jeannyrosez3865]

This is so helpful, thank you .. I'm also joining a lot of time in SPARTAN RACE but I'm always Field at monkey Bar or any kind of hanging Obstacles,.coz I'm just 5'ft and i have small hands, can't really reach the distance of monkey bar...so Sad ' anyways ' im still racing until i can do my best...... thank you again and arOoo 💪

[@SBoots29]

So I thought you planted the seed in my brain to attempt a spartan race. Then the Burpee thing came up. I do burpees and hate them, despise them. But I do them. I think Ill stick to triathlon racing. Yes I am not that strong. Good luck to your first Spartan race. Im sure you will knock it out of the park.

[@TheRunExperience]

sometimes we need to embrace the things we just like to make us better athletes.

[@handlemybiz]

Won't have to worry about burpees if you don't fail the obstacles. 😜. If you run open wave, burpees arent enforce, theyre just more fun. Plus there are other races with no burpees. Savage Race, Tough Mudder, OCRWC,...

[@dawnramirez46]

If you're not racing competitively, you do not have to do the burpees or penalty laps if you fail/ do not attempt an obstacle.

[@runnersfamily3368]

Love from runners family ❤❤🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@larryfarkas]

Thank you.

[@bernadetteglikin24]

Can you link the follow up video? I’m not seeing it on the page-thank you!

[@scottysumner5946]

Very helpful! Thank you so much. Basically all you need is some trees and rope lol

[@satyacricket18]

What study state running??

[@hell1515]

Hey I got one of those lime green ultra bib from Vermont. wondering where that was at. Go crush and kill it on the course! 👍

[@samuelrivera6781]

can i use my nike spikes for a titans race , 5k obstacle run?

[@plnkfloydian7814]

God I wish they had events like this in my area. I enjoy my runs but it’s been getting a bit stale.

[@FeelGoodOK]

I gonna run 1 km on sand in 20 days (Redbull quicksand). What are your advices for me? What should I train more?

[@TheRunExperience]

We actually have an entire video of how to run on the sand on our channel you should check it out!

[@kentwood9821]

Is it okay for my chest to hit the ground when doing penalty burpees?

[@Alyssa684]

So are you thinking you’ll do elite or AG? Which venue and distance?

[@TheRunExperience]

Coach Morgan is signed up for the elite wave in Bethel, NY

[@SpartanCanadaTube]

AROO AROO AROOOO 🔥

[@charlesmcglinchy1169]

You are 100% right. If you don’t practice your grip strength, there is no way you’ll complete a Spartan. It’s a lot tougher than on a YT video lol.

[@absilva76]

Good luck on your first Spartan Race! As I am sure your fiancé has already warned you, this can become pretty addictive lol In which venue will you be racing?

[@TheRunExperience]

haha yes i’m fully aware 😅 I’ll be racing at Bethel, NY

[@turtlehead4522]

Oh geez 30 burpies each fail!!? I thought you can just pass them by 😭! Maybe I messed up signing up 😂. I’m so nervous I have one coming up In may it’ll be my very first time

[@jonnym5677]

How did it go?

[@pegcaptain]

Amelia Boone - that is all.

[@TheRunExperience]

she’s a beast!!

[@zombiejesus7445]

Hahah "heavy carries". You know those sandbags are about 35-40lbs

[@TheRunExperience]

yes but carrying about 40 pounds up a ski slope for a quarter of a mile is not an easy task.

[@Alyssa684]

You haven’t done a competitive Spartan have you?

[@zombiejesus7445]

@@Alyssa684 I have. Multiple times placing top 5 in competitive bracket. Mostly beasts and ultras. They are fucking jokes for races. 80% of the "racers" can't even jog the whole race. So if you can at least do a 12minute mile you will crap on most of your heat

[@joannald89]

Yes I have my first Tough Mudder course coming up in less than 55 days I needed this!

[@uncertainscientist]

Columbus, IN?

[@TheRunExperience]

So glad to hear this! Coach Liz on our team just did the Tough Mudder 5K in New England this past Saturday! You are going to have a blast! Which distance did you sign up for?
