We’re not runners, so we’re definitely not racers. We followed up last week’s episode on starting to run with a conversation about setting a goal to compete on one of a couple of popular types of races. Both of these have large, supportive communities and are considered to be a lot of fun. Is the prep the same for both races? Can you do it alone? Do you have to be able to run the whole distance before your first race? How can you prep for the all the kinds of tasks and obstacles of a Spartan race? You can find James and Rich on The Ragnar Life podcast, and on social media as @Jamesvanprooyen and @richnicholes on most social media platforms. We kicked off with the related question, can you call yourself a powerlifter if you don’t compete? Hosted by Mike Farr (@silentmikke) and Jim McDonald (@thejimmcd).
