Episode #11 – Spartan 101 with the Gilberts

Ever wondered what Spartan Racing is really all about, or maybe thought about signing up but had no idea what to expect? In this special episode, my wife Marisa and I dive into everything you need to know about Spartan Races—from the different race types and competitive heats to obstacles you'll encounter along the way.

We share our personal stories and best tips gained from completing more than 40 races combined over the past three years. We break down what to expect at Eastern Canada race venues, talk about our favorite (and least favorite) obstacles, and reflect on how racing has shaped us individually and brought us closer as a couple.

Whether you're new to obstacle course racing or a seasoned athlete looking for a fresh perspective, this episode is packed with real experiences, practical advice, and plenty of encouragement to get out there and challenge yourself.
