ANECDOTE

Prepping for Desert Obstacle Race

  • Bracken prepares for a high-level obstacle course race in Saudi Arabia by doing intervals to keep up with the front pack.
  • He will do 10K distance with short rest intervals to simulate race intensity on desert terrain.
ADVICE

Time-Based Trail Workouts

  • Translate any road workout to trail by switching from distance to time intervals.
  • Keep the effort level consistent rather than pace, as terrain affects running speed.
ADVICE

Choose Trail Terrain Wisely

  • Pick the trail terrain that closely matches your next race for best training specificity.
  • Choose the biggest elevation gain available if technical terrain isn't accessible.
