The Old Dogs Were Right

Joe here, writing from the road.

When you're 25, you think hard means faster. At 35, it means longer. At 57, it means lasting. A lot of what we "old dogs" do—not for science, but for survival—is finally being validated by modern research.
The Formula for Longevity

Time on Legs > Speed: My mother told me 35 years ago that time on legs matters more than pace. Running at 60% of VO₂ max builds an endurance engine you can actually use.
Discipline Over Destruction: Consistency beats intensity when intensity breaks you. Hard is showing up every single day; it's not annihilating yourself every single day.
Exposure is Medicine: Train outside. Rain, wind, or cold—it doesn't matter. You don't negotiate with the weather; you adapt.
Fix the Pebble: In a race, a tiny rock in your shoe ends your day. In life, it's the same. Fix small problems immediately before they become boulders.

Hard isn't always max speed. Sometimes, hard is going slower than your ego wants, sleeping when others scroll, and training for the long road. We aren't training for a season. We are training for life.

No Excuses.
Joe

Week 5: Self-Love is a Standard

With Valentine's Day approaching, the world is focused on "self-care." At Spartan, we define that differently. We believe the highest form of self-love isn't a cheat meal or a day off—it's the discipline to keep the promises you made to yourself. When you train, eat right, and endure discomfort today, you are investing in the person you want to be tomorrow. That's not just "working out"—it's a commitment to your future self.

We are officially in Month 2. Those who have been with us since Day 1 are already seeing the gains from that consistency. If you've been waiting for a sign to start, this is it. All workouts are hosted on Spartan Edge, and Weeks 1 through 5 are available right now.

No more excuses. Jump in and join the pack.

Week 5 plans are now live

THE "INSTEAD OF" CHALLENGE: CAST YOUR VOTE

Project 300 is about changing behavior. We asked participants to take on the Qualia Challenge by identifying one "Instead Of" swap in their daily lives. We've selected the Top 4 videos, and now we need the Global Pack to decide the winner.
