PHASE ONE TRAINING GROUNDS

Phase One trains out of a few areas in Spokane to include the Reardan Cross Country track, Riverside State Park, and Mt Spokane State Park, all providing beautiful and challenging opportunities to forge holistic strength.

INSPIRATION

This a part of the Phase One Mission. A bare bones, self supported, invitation to move through the dark to appreciate the light. No firsts, No lasts. Zero Dark Ultra is an invitation to embrace the quiet darkness to reflect and find gratitude and hope while running or rucking through the night. This event is more than a race. It is an invitation to train for adversity, define resilience, and find hope, leaving no one behind.

Using Endurance Fuel satisfies your caloric, electrolyte, and hydration needs. It is designed to be incredibly easy on the digestive system. The primary energy sources are dextrose (glucose) and sucrose, with a full complement of electrolytes. This approach to fueling has been the solution for many athletes, allowing them to avoid the dreaded gut bomb, bonking, and nausea that can come with more extended endurance events.
