Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-8/11/15

I will be running the Tennessee Warrior Dash on October 10. I'm preparing for it by including a lot of hills and running the bulk of my miles at the beginning of the week. For example, 10k on Monday, 5.1 miles on Tuesday, 4.1 miles on Wednesday, 3.1 miles on Thursday, and 2.1 on Friday. The beginning of the week I bring on the miles, while from Wed on I incorporate more intense obstacle training. This guarantees that I will have endurance for the notorious hills in Pulaski, TN and with a relatively fast time. Another bonus is that by the time October comes around, the heat and humidity will be gone, by the results of intense training in the current conditions will still be there.

 I'm competing in my age group and want to win. Simple goal, just have to get there. What are your goals for the fall?

Warm up:
Stretch muscles and rotate joints

No joking, I have been doing most of the exercises in this book since I joined the Army in 1983. Though my service ended in 2004, I still workout. Try it:
