I'm running obstacle races hard. I thank God for my health and the US Army for 22 years of physical training. After retiring 10 years ago, I'm still trying to stay in shape. Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training keeps me motivated.
The Warrior Dash World Championships is exactly one week away. Though I did not run hard this past week, I still plan to taper off this week. I want to run fresh and strong. Today I will run a tough course with lots of steep hills. I am running sprints along a 4.1 mile hilly course to prepare for what awaits at Milky Way Farms, Tennessee.
Rope Climb
Run 4.1 miles with interval sprints. The total time should equal or be close to race pace.
I'm working hard this week before resting a week. I have a race coming up on September 26 and going hard at it. Next week will be total rest, while this week will be lots of work at about 75% effort. I split today's workout into two parts. Lunch Run 3.65 miles Walk .6 miles After work, run a total of 2.26 miles with circuit training: 10 spiderman burpees 18 foot rope climb balance beam x 2 5 pull ups with leg lifts Run .75 miles 6 spiderman burpees Monkey bars x 2 Run .35 miles 10 spiderman burpees 18 foot rope climb balance beam x 2 5 pull ups with leg lifts Run .35 miles 6 spiderman burpees Monkey bars x 2 Run .75 miles 10 spiderman burpees 18 foot rope climb balance beam x 2 5 pull ups with leg lifts Cinder block sled pull
