Off season training

[muddy]

Went for a little run yesterday. 11+ miles in about 2 hours and 10/15 minutes



The sprinters overtook me quickly, a lot of these guys I specifically remember passing in the latter part of the race.


Acton shots.










log carry


"twinkle toes"


"fire jump"


"electroshock therapy", I'm protecting what needed protecting

That looks like a blast. I've always wanted to try a tough mudder race like that. Hope you had fun.

Good work Matt. Gotta love a tough mudder weekend! We had a 9:20 start time on Saturday... surprised we didn't run into you.

You tough sob, I had some family do the race too. I may try next year if I'm not so fat.

My older son's girlfriend drove to Chicago this morning to compete in one of these events.

I'm feeling older by the moment.

Hardcore...well done Muddy.

Well done, Muddy! The wife and I are running TM in Somerset, WI in July. We ran the Fargo half marathon this last weekend in preparation for the TM - can't wait!

 

[muddy]

TM's are easy. Longest run might be a mile, mile n a quarter, and there's breaks at every obstacle!!

 

[Ried#3]

Why did he say it was 11+ miles then? Is it just a bunch of short interval running with obstacles? Not trying to be a smart ass, I've heard of the races just don't know much about them.

Congratulations!!! I run the Chicago Marathon in the fall but I think the Tough Mudder is a much better overall measure of fitness.
