Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-12/17/13

Today's workout is going back to the hills. Let's revisit our neighborhood hill route with a run through the steep slopes of the neighborhood (or find a hilly place). Take time at one of the steepest hills to do a repeat event. Run up and down the hill five times and do 10 burpees at the top each time.

I run a one mile warm up through a hilly course and stop at a steep hill. Then sprint up a quart mile ascent do 10 burpees then back down. Do this 5 times.

Along the route, run a few dozen yards on the curb to prepare for those balance obstacles.

Run back home up and down the hills then add these exercises in:

50 meter sprints or play tag
Race around the house
Pull ups with leg lifts to muscle failure on the swingset

Stretch
