You will be familiarized with the Spartan pillars, and learn about what it takes to be a Spartan, how Stamina, Grit, Endurance and Courage are the keys to succeed in a Spartan race. We will focus on mental and physical, stamina, endurance and strength, and how to apply breath sequences that are an important feature to the race. The training will take place on an amazing multi-elevation nature trail that runs through the forest and along the river, with the sound of rushing water and the succulent fresh air. The adventure will nourish your body, mind and soul.
You will embrace wellness at REO's gorgeous nature adventure and yoga resort. Enjoy delicious meals, beverages, desserts, daily yoga, evening social hours, dark sky star gazing, nightly campfires & much more during our well-crafted 4-day retreat.
