Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-3/22/16

In an earlier article I wrote about obstacle or mud run racing research results. All research supported running every day and including both sprint and endurance workouts. The rationale is that the participant must be able to perform technical and strength based tasks while their hear rates are 180 bpm or higher. Mixing running with strength building exercises helps to do just that. Race distances are getting longer and obstacles more technical. Let's get ready to meet the challenges.

Run slow for a long distance. Try to run between 1 and 1 1/2 hours.  I ran 8 miles in 1 hour and 12 minutes.
