Spartan Up!

A Take-No-Prisoners Guide to Overcoming Obstacles and Achieving Peak Performance in Life

By: Jeff O'Connell, Joe De Sena

Narrated by: Christian Rummel

Twenty-six point two miles isn’t enough anymore. Obstacle course racing, which combines the endurance challenges of a marathon with the mind-bending rigors of overcoming obstacles along the way, is taking the world by storm. At the center of this phenomenon is Joe De Sena, the driving force behind the enormously popular Spartan Race. De Sena offers a simple philosophy: commit to a goal, put in the work, and get it done. From that philosophy, as played out first in his own life and now for millions across trails, through mud, and up mountainsides, Spartan Race was born. Now in Spartan Up! De Sena gives you a life strategy guide that takes you out of your comfort zone and into a combat zone. As he breaks down obstacles from his many races, detailing how each parallels real life experiences, you will learn how to:

• Conquer your greatest obstacle - your will
• Embrace your greatest friend - discipline
• Make limitations vanish and establish a new normal
• Achieve the ultimate: obstacle immunity

Other events breed sheep; Spartan Race breeds wolves.

Filled with unforgettable stories of Spartan racers as well as hard-won truths learned along the course, Spartan Up! will help anyone reach their full potential - in life, business, relationships, indeed anything one sets out to do. It is the blueprint that takes you right past Go, to your finish line.

Just signed up for the race

Great book! Been doing burpees since started listening to the book and just signed up for my first spartan race

Good infomercial

It would have been better if this was not so infomercialish because it had a lot of good points. If you can get past this you can take away some benefits.

great advert for Spartan Races

The book had some great points but more advertising than I expected.
He has valid points and completely in agreement with overall message.
I would recommend
