Why should I be a super participant instead of a basic participant?
As a super participant, you will receive strength and running plans created by coaches who train elite athletes, they are the best of the best! They’ve designed a training program specifically catered to participants who want to enter this month-long challenge. Because our program was designed this way, you are receiving a plan more tailored to this challenge than one you can find online. You will also receive access to four mental workouts throughout the duration of this challenge. These workouts are designed to improve your mental and physical wellbeing by shifting you from your comfort zone to the edge. They are targeted to optimize your performance in the areas of wellness, career and relationships. You will have access to a community of likeminded individuals committed to their best selves, connecting with and supporting others to amplify potential and decrease isolation.
Will I receive any evidence that I completed this challenge?
At this time we are not planning on sending out anything physical to challenge finishers.
