Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-11/19/13

This workout is killer. Running with intermittent burpees builds endurance and strenght. It reminds of racing where I feel I want to vomit and my body screams STOP! 


Tough it out if you can an train as if you are in competition. That way you build confidence and know that you can still kick in some effort when you feel your weakest.

Obstacle Race Training-01/24/13

Throw on a 40 pound backpack and hit the road. Have a weight vest? Include it too. Maybe it’s late, so take a flash light. Try to get 2 miles in with rolling his. This exercise is invigorating and strengthens the core. This will help you pull deep from within when facing the tall obstacles.

Once you return, be sure to stretch.
