Training for an adventure race varies greatly from individual to individual, depending on your current fitness levels and what you want to achieve. However, whether you are going for the prize or are simply participating for the thrills, here are a few points that should help you out.
1. Focus on a range of cross training activities so that your overall fitness levels increase, and you are better prepared to handle different parts of the race.
2. Know the requirements of the race you will be participating in and base your training on that.
3. Adventure races don't necessarily take place in sun 'n shine. During training, make sure you go out in unpleasant weather so you are better prepared during the race.
4. Start slowly and gradually build up so you don't burn yourself out.
5. Finally, if it gets too much to handle in the beginning, take the help of a professional or somebody who has been a regular participant.
So - best of luck with that training & do let me know how it is going!
