Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-11/22/16

Here is the training we did this morning in the gym. It reminded me of some of the tough challenges we face in Spartan races.

Warm up:

Run 1/4 mile

Rotate joints and stretch muscles

Main Set:

As many rounds as possible in 5 minutes of the following. Start the clock then climb the rope three times. Once finished, continue with and repeat the dumbbell and snatches until time runs out:

3 rope climbs

16 dumbbell snatches (eight each arm). I used 20#

10 burpees

Rest for 2 minutes

Repeat the entire exercise for the next 5 minutes.

Almost a burpee. See more in the Army's APRT Manual

Next:

Do the following as many times as possible in 4 minutes:

16 box steps

40 jump ropes

After work:

10k run.
