3 workouts - Training for Your Next Deka Event!

Updated: Oct 20

Spartan Race's Deka events have hit the ground running this year! It's been great to see a few full DekaFit events as well as a ton of Deka Mile and Deka Strongs! I was able to do the DekaFit Atlanta event and I've also done two Deka Strong events.... I'm hooked! My first Deka Strong event time was 14:56 and a month later I knocked that down to 14:18. Sub 14 minutes coming up next! I completed my DekaFit event in 36:18 which I definitely know I can make huge improvements on at the Jacksonville event on June 26th! Deka events are a solid combination of strength, speed, and endurance and allow you to push to your absolute max or go at your own pace. To me, it's the perfect mix for those who aren't runners or CrossFit athletes, but a combination of both. It's also really awesome to be able to compete against your own time since each event has the same format.


Check out the workouts below and let me know how you do!
