Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-2/4/17

Fun day at the gym. Had a great time warming up with a game of tag before getting into some really serious stuff.

How about this for obstacle practice, the following is a team event, but scaled for an individual:

Do as many as possible for 25 minutes. It's called the Andretti-

2 rope climbs
100m run with medicine ball or 20# weight
6 shoulder presses
10 dumbbell ground to overhead
15 hip extensions
4 sled pushes (40 feet with 90 pounds for men or 45 for women is one push)

Run 7.3 miles up a mountain or hill. I'm fortunate enough to have a nearby 611 foot hill. I run this twice to get a good workout. Run at a moderate pace up the mountain and sprint down hill.

Later at the gym, garage or other workout location (I went after work)

Stretch and rotate muscles 

The four rounds of the following for time (I was in last place at 32 minutes after that run, lol)

1 minute of toes to bar (hanging leg lifts)
1 minute of jumping rope. Attempt to do double unders if possible
1 minute of kettle bell swings (american or overhead)
1 minute of squat cleans
1 minute of rest

Have fun
