Publisher Description
Twenty-six point two miles isn’t enough anymore. Obstacle course 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 offers a simple philosophy: commit to a goal, put in the work, and get it done. From that philosophy, as played out first in his own life and now for millions across trails, through mud, and up mountainsides, Spartan Race was born. Now in Spartan Up! De Sena gives you a life strategy guide that takes you out of your comfort zone and into a combat zone. As he breaks down obstacles from his many races, detailing how each parallels real life experiences, 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
Other events breed sheep; Spartan Race breeds wolves.
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, indeed anything one sets out to do. It is the blueprint that takes you right past Go, to your finish line.

narrate it right
if you're going to write a book, take the time to narrate the book as well for the reader. nothing like listening to a book that was narrated by someone else who has the most unexciting monotone voice ever. not exactly motivating to want to buy an audiobook. which seems to be the case in 95% of audiobooks. Just having Joe Narrate it would mean so much more. As if he's the one actually teaching you his lessons in this book.
other than that it's a great book and joe de sena is awesome. very inspiring and motivating.
Great Book - Bad Voice
Book is great! Great stories to go along with life lessons. Hard to listen to the audio book, which is a shame. The voice seems like a prom or voice for over the top news coverage. Sorry. Joe should have read it, or one of the the guys that start the races...
