From the Back Cover
Joe De Sena is the real deal. Spartan Up! is a must read for anyone looking to take his performance to the next level, be it in athletics or in life. Dean Karnazes, ultramarathoner and author of Ultra Marathon Man
26.2 miles isn t enough anymore. Obstacle racing, which combines the endurance challenges of a marathon with the mind-bending rigors of overcoming obstacles along the way, is taking the world by storm. At the center of this phenomenon is Joe De Sena, the driving force behind the enormously popular Spartan Race. De Sena overcame his own astonishing 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, Spartan Race was born.
In Spartan Up! De Sena gives you a life strategy guide that takes you out of your comfort zone and into a combat zone. You will learn how to:
conquer your greatest obstacle your will
embrace your greatest friend discipline
make limitations vanish and establish a new normal
achieve the ultimate: obstacle immunity
Filled with unforgettable stories of Spartan racers as well as hard-won truths learned along the course, Spartan Up! will help anyone reach their full potential in life, business, relationships in anything one sets out to do.
