Obstacle Race Training-3/25/13

Hill runs today. You never know when these will come in handy. They will definitely help your overall performance time. Many obstacle races feature hill courses. The last one I attended had an obstacle at the top of most hills. Very intense. If you want to be ready for any Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, Savage Race, Warrior Dash or other zombie run, do this:

• Run 4-5 miles on a course laden with hills
• Pour it on going up hill
• Run faster going down hill
• If hills are long, sprint between mailboxes
• Sprinkle 60 burpees with push ups
• Finish with 33 pull ups with leg lifts
• Stretch
