In this episode, I speak with Jarod Cogswell, the Sport and Education Director of Dekafit... Spartan's newest event in its quest to rip 100,000,000 people of the couch and into a healthier lifestyle. #Spartan has long been associated with being the world's greatest #OCR and the constant evolution of it, leads to exciting new things all the time!

Dekafit will be an indoor #decathlon (Dekathlon) style event that will lead you to new ways of getting inspired and motivated. It is for ALL #fitness levels and it will take your performance to a completely new level, leading you to victory in your own right. The Dekafit event will teach you to set constant goals for yourself, ensuring that you are always growing and improving. You will find a new way to #exercise and set goals with PURPOSE, which is the key to sticking with anything.

Each Dekafit event will have zones that will push you out of your comfort zone and set you on a path to victory.

DEKA Zones (each preceded by 500m run):

1. Ram Squat

2. 500m Row

3. Box Jump Over x 20

4. Med Ball Throw x 20

5. Ski Erg x 500m (concept 2)

6. Farmer's Carry x 100m

7. Air Assault Bike x 20 calories

8. Dead Ball Wall Over x 20

9. Tank Sled Push x 10

10. Ram Burpees x 20

Some great takeaways from this conversation to put toward your journey:

1. Have a strong enough reason to keep going. Set constant goals. What is your WHY?

2. Compete against YOURSELF. What can you do to improve your personal "Dekamark"?

3. Climb your personal mountain to get to the top. Set your target and go for it. Don't sell yourself short. Strive to get to the top... ALWAYS.

4. Find the belief, within yourself, to know that you can do these things and find the discipline to go above and beyond.

5. Be the version of yourself that you want to be. Don't wait for it. Go and GRAB IT!
