Fuel & Fire Elites: Your Complete 90-Day Spartan Race Prep Program

Get Confident. Get Prepared. Get to the Finish Line Feeling Strong.

A structured, science-driven training and nutrition program designed for first-time Spartan racers who want clarity, confidence, and a proven plan.

Your First Spartan Race Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming

Most new racers worry about the same things:

  • How much do I need to run?
  • How do I train for obstacles when I don't have access to them?
  • What should I eat while training—or on race day?
  • How do I avoid burning out or getting injured before I even get to the start line?

We built Fuel & Fire Elites to eliminate the confusion and give you a clear, step-by-step path to your first Spartan race.

This is the exact 90-day system we used to coach a full cohort of beginner OCR athletes—with incredible results.

What You Get Inside the 90-Day Program

  • Weekly Strength Workouts

Build the functional strength required for walls, carries, crawls, climbs, and the unpredictable demands of race day.

  • Running + Conditioning Program

Progressive run training based on proven energy system development so you build endurance safely and efficiently—without unnecessary mileage.

  • Tactical OCR Sessions

Race-specific workouts developed from real-world obstacle coaching so you know exactly how to train for the challenges you’ll face.

But Wait, There's More...

If all you got were the weekly workouts it would be a pretty cool program.  But that's not enough.  To really prepare you for your race you are also going to get more.
