Jason Fitzgerald, Expedition PR Expert

Nerve Rush’s own fitness correspondent, Jason Fitzgerald, is no stranger to obstacle race domination. A running coach who writes for an audience of more than 60,000 readers a month, Jason beat out nearly 17,000 athletes in Maryland’s Warrior Dash obstacle race. Jason understands running, nutrition and obstacle racing better than anyone else. In this guide, he deconstructs what it takes to win an obstacle race, step-by-step.
