Whether you’re you an obstacle race expert or a novice who spends more time in the mud than out of it, we can help you improve.
Join us on our Obstacle Course Race (OCR) training programme, which have helped many ordinary people feel that maybe they can be extraordinary.
Training with us will help you improve your technique so that you can feel confident taking part in mud runs and obstacle course races such as Tough Mudder and Spartan Race.
Obstacle Course Races tend to be designed to include three aspects; running, strength and technique, if you master all of these elements you’ll be competent on a course and handle whatever obstacle is thrown at you.
OCR is a great and adventurous experience, whether you’re running as an individual or part of a team. There are so many different types of event and each race will test your fitness in multiple different ways. Whether the courses are run during the day or at night, are a short sprint or a long endurance run, you’ll need to train and prepare for every eventuality.
You’ll come across lots obstacles on a course including high walls to climb over, water to wade through, nets to crawl under, monkey bars to swing across, balance beans to walk along and heavy weights to drag along the floor or lift to the top of a hoist, as you do at Spartan. Our training will ensure you're daring and fearless when it comes to taking on these ambitious obstacles.
Races in the UK are steadily becoming more technical to keep up with their European and World counterparts. This puts us in a great position to coach you on specific techniques to use, so that you can traverse high and low rigs, learn how to climb ropes and conquer walls ranging in different heights and angles.
Our training plan is not like any of the circuit training, boot camps or long cardio sessions you might have tried in the past. Instead, we provide a strength training programme that focuses on upper body strength so you’ll be able to use the pull-up bar and do push-ups with ease.
You’ll find our core-based exercises will strengthen your abdominal muscles and improve your stability and posture when running. We’ll also work on your legs so you feel confident that whether the miles you’re covering are short or up to half-marathon length, it will feel easy.
Holding onto bars and rings on an assault course is a big part of some races and many people find this tricky, so we’ll help you work on the power in your back so you’ll be able to hold onto the bars and rings for minutes at a time.
By following our OCR training programme, you’ll know that once you line up on the start line of your race, you’ll be in the best shape possible and will have the right mindset to run an exhilarating race.
At our private Personal Training Studio in Nottingham there is a custom-built rig, which has been designed specifically to practise obstacle skills. It has a set of monkey bars, a twister, climbing holds, ropes, rings and various attachments you’ll see on a course. This means you can develop your techniques in a relaxed training environment, so when it comes to the race or a pressured situation you’ll be self assured and know exactly what to do.
I’ve worked with clients who have taken part in their first Spartan Race and Tough Mudder to those who have represented Team UK at the World Championships. I’m one of a handful of coaches in the UK who is a World OCR Certified Coach as well as having competed in a number of Obstacle Races each year including the 2019 World Championships, you’re in safe hands when you train with me.
