Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-10/3/16

View from the top of the mountain. It was worth the run.

I'm still preparing for the OCR World Championships 2016. As always, I train to win, but never quite get there. So, I continue to run my own race, which usually gets me on the podium for my age group.

Lately I've been challenged by technically difficult obstacles and hills which will certainly face us at the venue. For one, the OCR World Championships take place at a ski resort. Two, they are showing some nasty obstacles on their website, ugh.

I'm incorporating lots of core training and hill runs this week before I begin tapering my run. Currently you can find me in the blue ridge mountains, getting my hill run on.

Here in blue ridge, these hills are tall and steep. In fact this workout took over an hour in the mountains where it usually only takes me about 40 mins at home.

Run 5.1 miles; 20 burpees each mile.
