I don't think that you need me to tell you just how exciting it can be to involve yourself in the realm of adventure racing. This is, to me, one of the best ways to work out and it's very difficult for me to argue against such a sentiment. There's going to be a great deal of effort put forth into just about any event but what about some of the specifics which help to make this better? Amongst the many steps to take into account, I feel it is worth starting out with these three.
1. If you want to keep up a diet in anticipation for the race, it should have the necessary fuel. Perhaps this is a subject that isn't known very well to you and I think that this is where you will most likely have to make changes to the regimen in place. Protein is one component to take into consideration and you can rest assured that it is going to keep your muscles maintained and they may build as well. For the best fuel during any exercise, you'd be hard-pressed to find any better than carbs.
2. Practice should be maintained and sometimes it doesn't have to be as heated as you may imagine. In fact, you can probably benefit immensely from a casual jog that is done on a daily basis. It's the best way to become more awake, if you ask me, but maybe you're not totally for the idea since it doesn't have the same stakes which can be tied to a race. If you were to ask me, though, you don't always have to incorporate that same kind of pressure.
3. Let's say that you were part of a team; make sure that interaction with your crew is constant. This is important, especially when you take into account that events along the lines of Spartan Race are known for being quite varied as far as types of competition are concerned. You don't think that adventure racing is going to limit itself to one category, right? Interaction with your teammates is going to be important and it's up to you to take what others say into account as opposed to simply thinking alone.
These may be just a few steps but I would like to think that these are just a couple when talking about the idea of adventure racing. These are some of the most important, in my eyes, because they show just how much work goes into this particular physical activity. Are there other steps which should be looked at as well? Of course there are and I am sure that you will uncover these soon enough as you're working to prepare yourself for the race at hand.
