Spartan Race

One of my I Ho Chuan personal requirements for this upcoming year is to compete and finish the Spartan Race in Red Deer in September.  I chose to do this as a way to push myself physically and mentally more than I have ever done.  I figured this would help me mentally to prepare for my black belt grading both physically and more importantly mentally.  I know that this as well as my black belt grading is going to be physically demanding but it's the mental side that worries me most.  It's our mind that tells our body to quite when our body can do much more.  This is why I want to compete and complete this race, to prove to myself that I'm mentally strong enough.  By preparing for this race, it's going to push me to improve my diet and put together a training regiment that will include strength training, cardio training, high intensity and low intensity training.  Follow my journey to the race on my blog as there will be many many posts surrounding my preparation.
