Xtreme Coaching
Obstacle races, trails and expeditions — training for ground that keeps changing.

Programs
The mountain does not ask whether you feel ready.
The people who last out there are not braver than you. They prepared differently: skills that still work when it is cold and late, decisions made before exhaustion makes them, and a body that does not fail at hour four. All of it is trainable, starting from exactly where you are now.
What it is
Xtreme coaching prepares you for events that mix running, carrying, climbing and terrain. Grip strength, loaded carries and descent work are the parts people skip in training and then fail on in the event.
Who it's for
Anyone signed up to an obstacle race, a trail event or a multi-day trip, and anyone who wants their fitness to work outdoors.
What to expect
The demands of your specific event mapped first, then conditioning, carries and grip built against them, and a pacing plan for the day itself.
Why it matters for your health
All-round capacity and confidence outdoors, plus the ankle and foot resilience that uneven ground demands.
What Xtreme Coaching asks of you

The shop
Everything that supports your training, from the Sport Coaching shelf. Products are organised by goal rather than by discipline, so the same protein serves your xtreme coaching and everything else you do.
Three things worth knowing
1
Train the carry and the grip
Almost nobody fails an obstacle race on running fitness. They fail on grip and on carrying something heavy uphill.
2
Downhill is what wrecks you
Descending is eccentric work and it is what leaves you unable to walk on day two. Train it deliberately.
3
Rehearse the food and the shoes
Nothing new on race day, and that includes socks. Test everything in training first.
