Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-6/2/14

Running and incorporating a strenuous workout has several benefits. The most obvious is that it prepares you for race day. An athlete who just runs miles on the pavement will be challenged with approaching unfamiliar obstacles. A triathelet, weight lifter, cross fit or other athlete who doesn't run will be challenged by the distance. The prepared competitor is able to both run and negotiate obsicles with a conditioned body and approach. In the army, our motto is to train as you fight and it definitely applies to the run in mud obstacle venue.
