Ultimate Obstacle Race Training: Crush the World's Toughest Courses

A busy book that has plenty of information relating to OCR. It covers the basics and summarises the various races currently on offer. It even provides you with DYI obstacles. If you are new to this sport or are looking at participating in a race this book will help you out. specific to the USA market.

Depending on your knowledge of obstacle course racing, this is a good informative book. Gives some background and different races that are out there. I bought it mainly for the training, where he breaks down different obstacles and the best ways to train for and beat them.

Highly recommend this book for someone starting out or looking into starting mud/obstacle racing....while I have completed 20 races over the past year there was still some useful information for me just not as much as I was looking for that I haven't already learned myself.

Introduces you to some of the marquee obstacles of the bigger race series, gets you ready for race day.

This book is very helpful for someone new to Obstacle Racing; particularly the sections on what to wear and how to prepare for specific obstacles.

I expected a lot more actual training plans to prepare for the race. This was mostly unhelpful, and I ended up just using training plans found online... for free to train for my course.

very satisfied with the books. They were very good.

Good intel for those who are just getting into the adventure running world. I would recommend it to all those thinking of trying these races.

Great product. Prompt service!

Books good - just don't try to buy from Worldbooks as you won't get it from them

Good book, various training plans and summaries of the various obstacle events around teh world; worth a read and buy

The book pretty much gives you an idea of what you are getting yourself into by entering the obstacle race. However, a person buying the book would already know what he/she is in store for. There was a section on what gear to use, but this was information that we could get from the net. The most important part were the exercises that were necessary to prepare you for the race. The routines were good, and I am sure that it would prepare you for the race. I would say that it is a good starting point but there are other systems out there that would help prepare you better.

Dieses Buch (auf Englisch) bringt einen nicht wirklich weiter. Es werden diverse Tough-Races vorgestellt, aber es fehlen auch eine ganze Menge. Das Training, das dafür in diesem Buch beschrieben wird ist absolut unnütz. Wer zum ersten Mal ein Obstacle Race laufen möchte, sollte sich auf die grundlegenden Dinge zur Vorbereitung konzentrieren: Kondition, genügend Kraft, um sein eigenes Körpergewicht zu halten und den Willen da durch zu gehen. Ein Buch braucht man dafür nicht.
