The Underground SGX Show

Episode 21 Show Notes

In this episode learn tips and strategies to help better prepare for your next Spartan Race.  Learn about a training app to track all of your training activities.  It gives you live feedback on your training, heart rate, intensity, and progress.  This app provides incredible feedback to help you understand your training and determine if you are making the right progress.

Also, learn the research behind rhythmic breathing and its effect on running.  Rhythmic or cadence breathing refers to timing your breathes with each step while running.  Learn the physiological and psychological benefits of this breathing strategy and how it can help make you a better, more efficient runner.

In our SGX Coaches’s interview, I talk with Coach Bryan Ginger Spartan.  Coach Bryan is the co-owner for Fitness Without Limits.  Him and his partner Coach Bonnie Spartan are living and embracing the Spartan Lifestyle.  Bryan shares his story how he was in his 20’s and pre-diabetic, suffering from high blood pressure, exhaustion, and a host of other health issues.  He took control and lost over 100lbs and eventually found Spartan Racing.

Coach Bryan’s passion is undeniable, and you will learn some incredible insight and tactics to help you with your training.  Coach explain how Spartan Racing can play a role in your weight loss journey, how to eat for weight loss and performance, how to be a better runner when you struggle at it, planning for the 2017 race season, and lessons he learned from being on Season 4 of the Bone Skull Challenge.  Learn this and a whole lot more in this episode.
