The First Block: Six Weeks Into Project Hoplite

About this episode

Matt Robertson shares the first update on his journey through Project Hoplite, a program designed to prepare for a Spartan Race Super 10k.

Back in April, I launched "Project Hoplite," a 25-week program to prepare for a Spartan Race Super 10k. My "why" for this journey boils down to doing hard things for my family, my career, and my own capabilities. Now, six weeks in, I'm sharing the first update: how the gains are going, and the lessons learned from pushing the limits. See how the needle is moving!
