Training Details
Obstacle Course Racing (O.C.R.) is an increasingly popular sport which involves total body and mind activity. Total fitness is required, cardiovascular fitness, strength, agility, flexibility, specific techniques to conquer tough obstacles, a dose of adaptability and mental attributes too. Courses are generally set to challenge you in every way, (almost) to breaking point at times…..
During Fit For Anything's obstacle-run training sessions you can expect an approach suited to the needs, wants and ability of the individual participants. Training to improve total ability, ones form and so on in order to reduce the body’s imbalances which in turn reduces the risk to injury. All of this will ultimately boost total fitness and performance. Team FFA will share health and fitness knowledge, guide, coach each other and can help you with other common things such as motivation, accountability, training programs, periodisation and nutrition. The “How to Obstacle-run” (H2O) training sessions can be combined with an “improve running performance” session so running drills can be incorporated within obstacle training, even small and timed race scenario’s can be included within a session. Fit For Anything will pass on their own advanced Obstacle Course Race experience and provide the extra relevant training content, knowledge and guidance.
