Training Tips

  1. 1

    Grip hard from the start - squeeze like your life depends on it

  2. 2

    Walk fast with short steps - don't try to run

  3. 3

    Keep shoulders packed down and back

  4. 4

    If you must rest, rest at 100m mark, not randomly

Common Mistakes

  • Letting shoulders round forward

  • Taking too long strides

  • Setting weights down every 20m - commit to longer carries

Sample Workout

3x200m farmers carry at race weight. Rest 2 min. If you break, note where.

Equipment

The Kettlebells (2x24kg men, 2x16kg women) is what you'll use on race day. If you're training seriously, having access to race-day equipment makes a real difference in your preparation.
