What is OCR?
Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) is more than just a race—it’s a thrilling blend of
endurance, strength, and mental grit. From crawling under barbed wire to climbing
cargo nets, navigating muddy trails, and conquering water obstacles, OCR is designed
to challenge every aspect of your fitness. But don’t let that intimidate you! With
the right preparation, you will survive and thrive on race day.
Your Ultimate Guide to Training for Fit Fury
Run
Understand the Challenge: It's Ok, We gonna prep
you
well!
Fit Fury Run isn’t your average 5K. It’s a dynamic mix of running and obstacle
navigation, requiring a balance of speed, strength, and agility. The obstacles will
test your endurance, grip strength, and mental resilience. Think of it as a
playground for adults, where every challenge is an opportunity to prove your mettle.
Build Your Endurance
Running is the backbone of any OCR. Start by incorporating regular runs into your
training routine. Begin with shorter distances and gradually increase your mileage.
Mix it up with interval training—alternate between sprints and jogging to build
speed and stamina. Remember, you’ll be running between obstacles, so endurance is
key.
Strength is Your Secret Weapon
Obstacles like wall climbs, sandbag carries, and rope traverses require all-around
strength. Functional strength training exercises include pull-ups, push-ups, squats,
and deadlifts. Don't forget grip strength—exercises like farmer's carries and
hanging from a pull-up bar will prepare you for challenges like monkey bars and rope
climbs.
Tame the Elements - Fire, Water, Air and
Earth
Fit Fury Run will likely include water and mud obstacles, so it’s time to get
comfortable being uncomfortable. Cold showers can help you acclimate to the shock of
water sections while boosting your mental toughness. And when it comes to footwear,
invest in a pair of trail-running shoes with excellent grip. Trust us, slipping in
the mud is no fun!
Train with a Buddy
Everything’s better with a friend! Rally a family member, coworker, or fellow fitness
enthusiast to join you in training. Not only will you stay motivated, but you will
also have someone to share the highs and lows of your journey. Plus, training
together makes the experience more fun and less daunting.
Test Your Gear & Be in Your Comfort Zone
Race day is not the time to test new gear. Test your shoes, your clothes, and any
accessories including gloves or hydration packs, so that if something happens,
you're comfortable with that. You do not want a wardrobe malfunction in the middle
of racing.
Mental Preparation is Key
OCR is just as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. Imagine yourself
overcoming every obstacle and crossing that finish line. Keep reminding yourself why
you chose to enter—maybe it's to test limits, to have fun, or just to do something
new. And know that showing up on race day is a victory by itself.
Celebrate Every Step
Every training session, no matter how small, is a step toward your goal. That
5-minute jog? It counts. That extra set of push-ups? It matters. Celebrate your
progress and trust the process. As the saying goes, “Every little helps,” and it
truly does.
Race Day Mindset
As you line up at the start on April 27th, 2025, you may take time to appreciate all
the way you've come. Breeze across the course, or stumble in a few areas—just keep
in mind, you are lapping everyone who remains on the couch. This is not only about
crossing that finish line, but showing up and giving it everything you've got.
Always Remember: This is For You
At the end of the day, Fit Fury Run is about more than just fitness. It’s about
challenging yourself, having fun, and discovering what you’re capable of. Whether
you’re racing for a personal best or simply to cross the finish line, know that
you’re doing something incredible for your body and mind.
