TRAINING
X Race is unique in just how trainable it is. We pre-release the route, the challenges and the weights months in advance so everyone knows exactly what to expect and can get race day ready.
In true Superhumansports-style, we choose movements that are low-skill yet challenging and more importantly, trainable in pretty much all gym environments - no fancy equipment needed!
Put simply: X Race Weston is an event that anyone can enter and train for, you just need to be willing to work hard.
It's highly trainable
To help you prepare you can find a free 8-week training plan here that was put together for last year's X Race: Blaise Castle.
We also have a Superhuman Affiliate Programme, where you can find a fitness facility that provides our event styles of training.
It's never too late to start. Choose your race, set your goals, download your FREE training program and start your journey today. You'll thank us at the finish line (maybe).
