Spartan up!: a take-no-prisoners guide to overcoming obstacles and achieving peak performance in life

When Joe De Sena took part in the Utatek endurance race, held in Quebec in the middle of winter, he had to cover 350 desolate, frozen miles by iceboat, skis and mountain bike, hiking through knee-deep snow or climbing icy mountains without a rope.

When he explained to people what he had done, they said he was stupid or suicidal.

He saw it another way: he had accomplished more than he ever knew was possible.

Taking on big challenges shows you possibilities you didn't know existed.

With that experience in mind, De Sena set up Spartan Races, a series of extreme obstacle events.

Filled with the unforgettable stories of Spartan racers, as well as hard-won truths learned along the way, this book will help anyone to reach their full potential.
