Current: 2006 Triumph Daytona 675
Past: 2005 Ducati S2R 800 Dark
Background info: I'm only 150lbs, with about 6% body fat... skinny. I'm strong enough to easily throw myself around, but I lack in cardio (only thing that kills me on our weekly MTB rides)6%BF maybe, what test result gave you that?I don't believe you.

Just saying for body fat, I have never seen flat numbers for BF, it's always 8.6%, 7.4%, 22.8% etc, at least from BodPod testing, which is pretty accurate stuff. Funny thing is, I weighed in now this morning at 150lbs, 180cm, 6.2% body fat, and some other gas exchange/capacity numbers - apparently these numbers are seen in elite athletes relative to my size
I would do this obstacle course but I'm already racing that weekend. SCRC all the way
Okay.. sorry to hear that...?
That electrical test they do for you at some gyms when you sign up for a membership, as part of your "fitness assessment". The actual reading was 6.4%. Next time I'm at a meet, and you happen to see me, you'll understand.
So much for getting any training questions answered...
No, I believe you, you could be in that range.The actual reading was 6.4%. Next time I'm at a meet, and you happen to see me, you'll understand.
*Personally, the bio electrical impedance tests (if its the one where you hold it infront of you with your two hands, that one only takes into account your upper body), the one you stand on is a bit more accurate but still dosent measure everything
-Whats nice about having a BodPod test is that it tells you your % and how many lbs of muscle you have, % fat and how much in lbs and other things...
Obstacle course will probably have things to hope/climb over, duck under, running etc so I'd do some circuit training (your typical stuff, squats, lunges, push-ups etc "P90X will do the trick" start running too. As much of an awesome bike rider you might be, running is totally different) A decent pair of running shoes will be helpful + if you plan on continuing to workout, then you have a nice pair - buy yourself something nice.
Hi
I will be running a Spartan Race in June, I am in fairly good condition. I'm 6 foot tall, 148lbs On my 20m beep-test I got a 9.5, I can do about 55 consecutive push ups and in 1 min I can do about 50 sit ups (real ones not spasms), I am am a sprinter and can get about 11.5 sec/100m, can anybody give me an idea of what will be on the Spartan Race in terms of obstacles? I am doing the one in Ottawa. I plan on using an old pair of aasics that I have lying around, but for some reason I always get scared when I think of doing any race that involves a lot of people, ( I prefer to be alone when I run, or with my dog). I don't know why. Does anybody have a training plan they would be willing to share? Currently I am doing a 5k every 3 days through a clear cut zone near my house and a 10k on the days in between.
Any help would be appreciated.
I put hot rocks under my foreskin and run half way round the world before breakfast......pussies.
