Synopsis:
Joe De Sena, one of the founding creators of Spartan Races, sounds the alarm of how soft and weak we've become through modern living. Spartan Up! is a call to arms, motivating readers to take action in their lives through inspiring stories and practical advice.
What do marathoners do when 26.2 miles just isn't enough anymore? They try obstacle racing, combining the endurance challenges of a marathon with the mind- and body-bending rigors of overcoming obstacles along the way. At the heart of this phenomenon is Joe De Sena, the driving force behind the Spartan Race.
De Sena overcame his own obstacles--working his way from Queens to Wall Street to legendary extreme athlete--by adhering to a simple philosophy: commit to a goal, put in the work, and get it done. From that philosophy, as played out now for millions across trails, through mud, and up mountainsides, the Spartan Race was born.
Filled with unforgettable stories of Spartan racers as well as hard-won truths learned along the course, Spartan Up! will help you reach your full potential in whatever you set out to do.
"A must-read for anyone looking to take his performance to the next level, be it in athletics or in life."--Dean Karnazes, author of Ultra Marathon Man
"If there's anyone out there who has taken extreme to a new level, its Joe De Sena--in adventure racing, in business, and ultimately in the business of adventure! Spartan Up! is a must-read."--Robyn Benincasa, world champion adventure racer and New York Times best-selling author of How Winning Works
About the Author: JOE DE SENA is the founder of Spartan Race, as well as a legend in endurance and adventure racing circles--he completed the 135-mile Badwater Ultramarathon, raced the 140.6 miles of Lake Placid Ironman, and finished a 100-mile trail run in Vermont, all within one week. He lives in Vermont.
