I AM A SPARTAN OCR PODCAST

On this Episode, Paul Tadlock tells us about the Spartan Race AGOGE 300. The AGOGE took place in Sparta, Greece in conjunction with the Trifecta World Championship event. The AGOGE was a 60k hike with checkpoints, and surprises along the way. After they completed it, they started the Sprint on Friday followed by a 4 hr Hurricane Heat. Then a Saturday Super, and a Sunday Beast concluding the total AGOGE event. Paul did the AGOGE event last year, so he had a great perspective into how great the event was this year.20% off Spartan race use code IAMASPARTAN20SHOW SPONSORS⁠https://lionheartsfitness.com/⁠⁠https://www.monkeegrip.com/⁠ Use my Simply Good Supplements ambassador code SCOTT10 for 10% off your order at ⁠https://simplygoodsupps.com?sca_ref=8783377.eziTXHiPA1k
