Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-3/31/15

Block Party!!!

It's been a while, but time for the block party. We run around our 1.0 mile block and perform obstacle training worthy of Warrior Dash, Spartan Race, Savage Race, Tough Mudder and all the rest (still mad at Battlefrog for cancelling Nashville. But I am grateful for the total refund :))


Run 3.1 miles. Each mile, do the following: I do the first two exercises before the run and the last three along the way.

10 burpees
5 pull ups with leg lifts
6 spiderman burpees
Monkey bars x 2
6 Spiderman burpees 

The run took approximately 22 minutes and the workout took almost eight minutes for a total of 30 minutes.

Run In Mud Obstacle Race Training-3/26/15

My goal is to run 20 miles this week. So far I have 16 miles in and should be done tomorrow. This is in addition to rope climbs and other obstacle training. I also do pull ups and monkey bars as I am still hopeful for the American Ninja Warrior casting call.

Spend some extra time stretching. Often overlooked but definitely worth the time.
