Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-4/22/16

I slept in this morning. I heard a little rain hitting the roof and the distant roll of thunder. Nothing serious, just another lame excuse to forgo the day's training. Plus, I felt my body needed rest. I had run a total of 26.4 miles since Monday, more than I have ever run in a week. 

As I mentioned in an earlier article, I am transitioning to longer runs to better prepare for recent and upcoming obstacle race changes. I foresee more strength sapping, technically challenging obstacles and rugged terrain over more miles. The rolling 5k terrain with climbing and crawling obstacles of old is slowly being replaced with greater distances and technically difficult obstacles requiring strength and endurance.

Do the following x 3
 34 push ups 
14 dumbbell curls 15 pounds each
14 dumbbell presses 15 pounds each
10 Romanian squats 60 pounds
5 floor squats (squat, lift barbell to standing position, return to squat) 60 pounds

Run 5.6 miles at a moderate pace (7-8 minute miles).
