Where to Begin
1. Start With a Race Review
Read one complete race report to see how the site documents experience from the inside.
2. Follow an Expedition
Expeditions are multi-part collections. Each Expedition includes a YouTube race preview, a post-race review, and field work covering terrain, geology, regional history, and the night sky.
Race · Terrain · History · Night Sky
3. Browse a Field Project
If terrain, history, or the night sky interests you more than racing, start here.
4. Read an Essay
Essays are slower and more reflective. Read these when you want synthesis rather than information.
What This Site Is
Shank Gym is a field-based archive rooted in Spartan racing and trail running.
It documents races, training, terrain, and place — from inside the experience.
For a full explanation of the project, structure, and scope, see About.
Nothing is sold here. No coaching is offered.
If that’s your kind of terrain, welcome.
