Coronavirus has brought the events industry to a screeching halt. Here at Savage HQ, we make our living producing world class obstacle course races. But because Savage Race events are mass gatherings, we cannot produce our events now or for the foreseeable near term. With all this uncertainty, we’ve created a Savage challenge that you can do right from home, or anywhere!
The challenge consists of 14 separate workouts over 30 days. These 14 workouts will come from some of the top names in OCR including; Chrissy McFarland, Yuri Force, Rachel and Ken Corigliano, Ryan Woods, Ashley Samples, Lee Stowell, the Stangle brothers, and more. It also includes non-running condition workouts from the team at Comptrain.
Savage Race owner Sam Abbitt explains the challenge.
The Details:
This program does not require access to a gym. Ideally, you will have access to a few basic pieces of workout equipment: a dumbbell (or something heavy), a jump rope, a ruck/backpack, and a pull up bar. If you don’t have these pieces of equipment, a full body weight program is also offered.
All of the challenges are difficult and will make you feel uncomfortable at times. That’s the point. These challenges will make you stronger, faster, and improve your overall health and conditioning.
Seven of the challenges include running and seven do not.
There is a Race option (more distance on the running challenges) and a Blitz option.
Both challenges are 14 workouts over 28 days.
