Summary

“...You’re just getting super super good at one capacity, and if you’re lucky, and you ride the razor of cutting your diet down and doing your training right, you will be the champion of that. But, as soon as you take off your bike helmet, and get off the bike, you might as well be like a-- you’re like a toddler. You’re weak, you’re imbalanced,” says Hunter McIntyre, the Bulk Pony, 6x OCR World Champion, 4x OCR National Champion, Tough Mudder X Undefeated Champion 2017-2018.

Spartan Up Endurance Series host, Johnny Waite, talks with Hunter about how to be successful as a bigger person in the endurance world. In this episode you’ll learn about…

Embracing the powerhouse that is your body and testing how far you can go
Setting goals based on your size and abilities
Building endurance without giving up your size and build
Not having balance in your fitness when getting sport specific
Keeping off the path of chasing only one thing and setting milestones
