Introducing the Merrell Spring Challenge Women's Adventure Race Training Programmes
Hey adventure seekers,
Ready to step things up? Our official training programmes are here, designed by Nathan Fa'avae, the mastermind behind our race courses and one of the most accomplished adventure racers in the world. With a career spanning over two decades and seven world championship titles with Team New Zealand, you’re in seriously experienced hands.
These programmes are your roadmap to race day success. They’re built to help you train with purpose, build confidence, and most importantly, enjoy the journey. Nathan’s philosophy is simple: consistency wins. It’s about showing up regularly, putting in the work, and trusting the process as you grow stronger, fitter, and more capable.
Of course, motivation isn’t always a given. There will be days when it feels tough, and that’s where resilience comes in. Those are the sessions that count the most, building the mental strength you’ll rely on during the race.
And remember, great training goes beyond just getting out the door. Prioritise sleep, fuel your body well, manage stress, and make the most of the time you have. Small, consistent habits add up to big gains.
The Merrell Spring Challenge Women’s Adventure Race Training Programmes are your chance to challenge yourself, connect with others, and prepare for an unforgettable experience.
Let’s get started.
