The weather
is nice and many people are leaving the gym for walking and running. This makes
a trail crowded, but for obstaletes (obstacle athletes-maybe I’m not the first
person to use this, but if I am, please give credit J) it’s a great opportunity. You know why?
Because they can be training aids.
Here are
great ways to make your run an obstacle course preparation run:
Pretend other
runners are zombies and dodge them. Use your
fancy footwork to avoid:
- people
- cars (for safety reasons I recommend only dodging parked cars)
- mail boxes
- trash cans
Today’s
exercise:
- Run 4-5 miles with lots of hills if possible
- 3 x weight carry for 40 yards example: Carry heavy weight with your arms in front of you (backpack, bucket, rock, etc.)
- Men-40 pounds
- Women-20 pounds
- Low crawl (army crawl) for 15 yards x 2
- Bear crawl for 15 yards x 2
- 5 burpees with pushups
- 5 Jeffreys (burpees with 2 pushups)
- Pull-ups to muscle failure with leg lifts
- Stretch
