Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training 10/8/13

If you haven't heard, after being unable to participate in the Warrior Dash Tennessee event, I will be running the Warrior Dash in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on November 2, 2013. I hope to see you there. In preparation, I am back to intensive training and plan to scale back after about two and a half weeks.

Today's workout is a long run with an intense but short strengthening regime. In my opinion, it's best to workout during strategic quarter mile intervals, just like the races. However, the environment and setting might not allow such training. For example, it's probably not good to do burpees in high traffic areas. It's better than nothing to do the exercises at the end of the run when possible.
