We are a family of three who decided to stop dreaming and start doing. We made it a goal to get in shape, exercise regularly, and challenge ourselves with races and triathlons. We believe that everyone has a dream that they can turn into reality, no matter how big or small it is.
But we also know that life can throw some unexpected challenges at us. That’s what happened to Chris, who suffered a spinal injury that nearly left him paralyzed. That was a turning point for us as a family to take our health more seriously and appreciate every moment we have together.
On this channel, we share our honest and real experiences as we chase our passions and face our fears. We hope to inspire you to get out of your comfort zone and start living your best life today!
Whether you want to travel more, learn a new language, run a marathon, or compete in a spartan race, we are here to cheer you on and show you how we did it.
Thank you for watching and joining us on this amazing journey!

In this video, we share with you a story of a 71-year-old man who was inspired by our parents running a Spartan race in their 60s. So, he decided to sign up for his first race and had been training for 8 months for the event. We felt that his story was INSPIRING and that it proves that you can make time for the things that matter to you most and your health, and setting goals that challenge you...
quick tip on TRAINING for a Spartan race
Переглядів 511Рік тому
If you are planning on doing an obstacle course race, a little TRAINING can go a long way. We recommend giving a little extra attention to the things that you feel need improvement. For example, if you think you'll have a hard time pulling, lifting, or carrying heavy weights, you may want to do a little strength training before your race. On the other hand, if you feel like you are not the best...

Lake Kaweah just so happens to be one of our favorite places to visit in the Central Valley. It is formed by the Terminus Dam and is fed seasonally by a river that originates in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Thank you for this video! It answered so many questions for me. I’m not sure about the body strength challenges but I’m going to start training harder and give it my best. I’m excited!
Some obstacles you didn’t have your small backpacks on. What did you do with them?
I just did a 5K in Anaheim Angel stadium. Preparing for a 10K
Heading to Killington, Vt., September 2025. I'll be 53, my first one, I may DIE! 😂😂
Great video. Thanks!
Good to know on the mustard packets
I’m curious: Why not wear gloves? It also seems like very few people are wearing them.
Looks like grip strength endurance, grip strength endurance, grip strength endurance. Oh, if you don’t walk it, running. Know your obstacles and technique. Excited to try this.
She’s so strong.💪
Miss your longer vids. 😢
When using gloves, just use them sporadicly. When wearing them full time the skin gets wet and soft which can lead to blisters never the less. The mustard I need to try ... ;-)
Great video. Thanks for sharing! Good luck in your adventures 💪
5:58 - wait!? Is that legal!? Walking on the hand holds??
Update - no, it's not legal.
What are the weights of the sand bags and the plate you were dragging?
me and the fam doing this for the first time, aiming for a tricepta as our first one :D
Nice to know about Big bear Lake, this location will be my 1st race.(Sprint). Also adorable to see a couple that shares a passion together. Maybe I will see you out there!
Same!
Great video and advice from a Spartan veteran. Like you said, the Sprint or Stadion would be the best first event except for someone who is very, very fit such as a cross-fit athlete or experienced runner, especially trail runner. I have found the Stadions to be the easiest with the Sprint next in line. If you are up for a real challenge and fit enough for it, try a Trifecta weekend, they are especially hard but satisfying.
Couldn’t agree more 👍 We’re thinking about doing a trefecta weekend this year, looking forward to doing the challenge together 😃
Thank you for this video, this is gonna help me sooo much for my first Sprint in Monterey, CA. I’m an ultra runner, but really afraid of the challenges/courses.
Congrats on signing up for your first Spartan race 👏 I feel like the opposite, where we started with Spartan races and are now getting into more endurance stuff, I’ll be doing my first marathon in June 😅
No mud either
Yeah, this was one of the only courses we’ve done so far that doesn’t have any mud or water
Where the hills
Yes, San Luis Obispo is a very flat course, great for beginners though
I'm interested in the race this June 2024 at Citi Field stadium in Queens, NY...I'm hesitant because I'm short and worried about some of the obstacles because of my height
That’s cool that you’re interested in doing a Stadion. We did one in 2022 and it was one of our favorite races. Johnni did it at 5’4” and was able to complete the obstacles and had a great time
Are gloves not allowed?
Gloves are allowed 👍
When she said 68 degrees was cold 😢
lol, yeah, we are used to 110+ degree summers
You guys are amazing❤ It looks so effortless because y’all did it so well. Hats off👏
Thanks!
Don't touch the top on Olympus, Helix, Z wall. Also surprised a volunteer wasn't up your butt about the bucket carry on the shoulder.
Yes, that’s true. This was an open heat and the volunteers we’re pretty laxed about most of the obstacles
So, I’m sorry, is this the 5k or the 10k?
The Super is usually a 10K-ish distance
Thanks for the video guys . Doing my 1st 2/24/24 Dodgers stadium. The monkey bars might be my weakness. Main motivation during the race. Is going to be that 🍺 that they'll be giving after you complete it 😁.
Hope you had a great race! How’d it go?
YOOOO did anyone catch spiderman at 33 seconds?!
Haha!
Thank you for this wonderful information 🙌🏾 I run my first race next month. Wish me luck.
That’s great! How’d the race go?
Thank you so much for all of the info!! What's the difference between a Sprint and a Stadion Race?
Stadions usually take place in sports stadiums and the obstacles tend to have less reps and lessened penalties, whereas the Sprints take place out on trails with hills and tend to be a lot messier / muddier. Both are around a 5K distance
Great intro to the sport, thanks!
Happy to help!
Thanks for the info!
You’re welcome!
This was a great informative video! 😃
Thanks!
How many months do I need to train before my first race? I'm 54 and have been weight training and doing cardio for 7 years now. I consider myself to be in very good shape.. Thanks.
First, congrats on wanting to do a Spartan race at 54, that’s awesome 👏 In regard to training, you are probably fit enough for the race with all of the cardio and strength work you’ve done over the years, but you may want to try doing things like rope climbs or sled pulls to train your grip strength. Personally, the more prepared you go into the race the better your experience will probably be, so at a minimum a month or two would be good. We hope you have a great race!
@MakeSomedayToday thank you for the reply.
Is there a time limit?
Most races do not have a time limit, however, some of the longer races may have cut-off times for safety concerns
How long did it take to finish?
This race took us about 2 and a half hours, including filming. However, the finish time can vary greatly depending on where you’re at (and to an extent how many people are on the course)
I'm turning 30 this year I have put it off for the last 5 years. I kept telling my self I'll do it next year... So I'm doing it this year I'm signed up and ready to go
That’s awesome! Which race did you choose?
@@MakeSomedayToday I just went with the 5k sprint as I am not back to shape as I once was next year I'll do the 10k
How was it? Did you do it?
Thank you for this
You’re welcome 🙂
mustard packet as in like...hienz...? Why?
Yeah, it can help some people prevent muscle cramping during a race
@@MakeSomedayToday 😮
As someone started out, this is truly inspiring! Keep it up.
Thanks, glad to hear that you’re making it happen and getting started
Did you record this with a GoPro or a phone?
Most of the footage was shot on iPhones
What apple watch model are you wearing? And how's the durability?
Series 6, had it for about 2 1/2 years and aside from a few scratches, it’s held up just fine
@@MakeSomedayToday Thank you so much! Planning to join Spartan next year and I'm looking to pick up an apple watch myself too, preferably the SE series. I hope w some casing on it, it would be fine!
@@nicholasting9726 Yep, the SE should do the trick, I hope you have a great race 👍
Awesome video! I’ll have my first spartan race next month. I’m excited for it 🤩
Thanks! Good luck on your upcoming race 👊
Mustered? Really? That's crazy.
Yeah, it’s odd but a lot of people swear by the stuff, and anecdotally it’s worked for us too in a pinch
What is one small thing you can do today that can get you started?
Great advice, thanks!
After doing a few Tough Mudders and a couple of Total Warrior events, I'm now looking at Spartan race in the UK. Your video has a lot of useful information. Thank-you.
Thanks and congrats on all of those previous races, keep up the great work and we hope that you crush your first Spartan race 👊
I really enjoyed this video..l have set my mind to do a Spartan Sprint next year that’s my goal😊😊
Thanks, we’re glad to hear that you’re setting the goal to do a Spartan race next year, good luck!
