Slacked a little with my running this week. Started snowing and the weather got cold. Going to try doing my runs on the indoor track this week.

Didn’t complete the weekly challenge. Got all my running in for my program and managed to get a few good workouts in as-well. Even with the terrible weather. Hoping next week is less rainy.

Grip & Grit 💪 Spartan Project 300 Weekly Challenge Two weights. Five minutes of carrying. Three sessions this week. Your goal: accumulate 300 seconds of farmer’s carries per session, on three separate days within seven days. Leave at least one day between sessions. Here’s how it works: ▪️ Grab two dumbbells or kettlebells of equal weight—one in each hand. ▪️ Walk tall with your arms at your sides, core engaged, and controlled steps. ▪️ Carry for 20–60 seconds at a time. Set the weights down and rest as needed. ▪️ Keep adding your carry time until you reach 300 seconds—five minutes. Rest time does not count. Example: 30 seconds carrying + 30–60 seconds resting, repeated 10 times. Take longer rests if needed. Choose a weight that challenges you while allowing you to stay upright and in control. Start lighter if you’re new to carries. End the set before your posture or grip breaks down. Walk—don’t run. ✅ Complete three sessions. ✅ Record your weight per hand and total carry time. ✅ Post your results in the Project 300 SKOOL community after each session. Share a photo or short clip, too. Your check-in can be as simple as: “Session 1 complete: 25 lb per hand. 10 × 30 seconds. 300 seconds done.” Who’s in? Comment “Grip & Grit” Comment below Choose weight by control, not a fixed number. Use a 30-second test carry before starting: - Novice: Start light. You should finish 30 seconds walking tall, breathing normally, and holding both weights securely—with enough left to continue another 10–15 seconds. - - Advanced: Choose a heavier load that makes the final 10 seconds challenging while keeping the same posture, steady steps, and secure grip. - Too heavy: You’re leaning, shrugging, taking uneven steps, or your fingers are slipping open. Lower the weight. Too light: You could easily carry it for another full minute. Increase slightly on the next set. Use equal weights in each hand. The goal is to accumulate five minutes with good form—not carry to failure.

This week I didn’t so much complete the challenge. But I got my runs and workouts in!! Looking forward to the challenge next week!

70 minutes of burpees last week. Your legs remember. This week we let them catch up and give your head some attention too. Keep your regular training. Refresh sits on top of it. Every day, 3 boxes: 🌙 1. Sleep Same bedtime all week. Phone across the room 30 minutes before. 🚶 2. Move easy 20 minutes on top of your normal training. Walk, bike, row, stair climber, yoga, Pilates, stretching, or your usual mobility routine. Keep it easy enough to hold a conversation. Training days count if you add the 20 minutes. Still beat up from burpee week? Take your regular sessions down a gear too. 🧠 3. Reset 10 minutes for your head, no scrolling. Pick one: a walk outside, a journal, a book, or a call to someone you've been dodging. Your walk can cover both boxes: walk for 20 minutes and spend at least 10 of them without scrolling. ✅ Your morning check-in Reply to this post with 2 numbers: * Boxes yesterday: out of 3 * Energy this morning: 1 to 10 Example: 3/3 · Energy 7/10 Keep it all in this thread. First check-in is tomorrow. 18 of 21 is the target. 📸 📸 📸 Want to share a moment from your week? Drop a pic/vid in the thread. The view. The book. Your porch. Your mobility or stretching routine. Your training. A note you wrote yourself. Totally optional. Posting on IG too? Tag @300hardway @frank_sepe and @zraz. We'll ask you directly before resharing anything on Project 300's socials.
