Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-1/28/14

Looks like a burpee
It's cold, but try to get out there. Much of this exercise can be performed indoors.  Once you are warm enough, head outside for the run. This is a great workout, but do what you can. If you're more fit, add more reps. If you are beginning, challenge yourself to do what you can.

A total of 50 repetitions of any combination of pull ups chin ups and alternate grip pull ups with leg lifts
100 air squats
50 side lunges each leg
50 forward lunges each leg

Run 2 miles

10 burpees
1 rope climb
10 burpees
1 rope climb

Grab back pack by the straps hold in front, walk 50 yards
grab backpack by left arm and hold down at side, walk 50 yards
grab backpack by left arm and hold down at side, walk 50 yards

Combination of close hand, wide arm and regular push ups until you reach 100.

Run In Mud Obstacle Race Training-12/13/13

Almost a burpee, just add a jump
V-v-v-very cold outside. Again, dress in layers that you can unzip and not have to entirely remove. It's hard enough to run in the cold without having to carry something. Keep your mind focused on performance. These distances get tougher as the temperature drops, but you can do it. I have a few more days left of the 30 day 30 burpees per day challenge.

Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-12/11/13

It's getting colder outside, but it just means to bundle up a little more. Besides, once you get started running, you'll warm up pretty quickly. Now, if it's down in the teens or below zero, consider an alternate exercise. Consider dressing in layers in lightweight workout clothes. As you warm up, you can begin unzipping zippers. Try not to overdress as you can warm up rather quickly and end up carrying your clothes. As in the extreme summer heat, consider doing laps of a course close to home. If the run tires you out, at least you'll be able to make it home. And oh yes, hydrate. You may not feel like it, but drink the water.  I'm running in the evening, so it gets colder as the sun goes down and that is some experience.
