Are you someone who is constantly looking for a little extra push to get going, or take you to that next level?

Whether you are looking for;

Motivation to get or stay fit, 

Reasons to travel (Solo or with others),

Be part of something larger than Yourself,

Or you are just the creeper looking to see fit people in tight clothes... 

Then you need to be planning for and/or signing up for some sort of event/trip/race!

Hear me out, even though I Am one of those crazy gym rat people,

I didn't become one of those crazy racers until the Fall of 2012 when I ran my first Obstacle Course Race.

It was a Tough Mudder at the racetrack in Englishtown NJ, a grueling 12 mile course with over 25 obstacles along the way.

What on Earth made me decide to sign up for one of those mud runs that you get electrocuted during?

Crazy I know!! Just look --------> 

Truth is it took me over 3 years to sign up for the event.

I had people ask...

I don't know about you but as an Obstacle Course Racing athlete, one of my least favorite things to do is CARDIO!!!

I'd rather train obstacles and strength all day, but unfortunately cardio plays a huge role when it comes to finishing a race without death looming over you once you cross that finish line. 

 The question then becomes what do you do to make cardio less of a chore and keep you motivated to do it? 

 There are many ways around this, except when NJ, or any other Northern area, decides that it wants to be its own Arctic Enema and keep you from being able to run outdoors. 

One of my favorite pieces of cardio equipment is the
Technogym SkillRun, because of the Bootcamp option!

This allows me to replicate the physiological aspects that I would experience on the course into my indoor workouts.
I can seamlessly switch from running or walking (from -3% decline to 25% incline), to a weighted Sled Push, or wind sprints with a Parachute......
