Hey if you wanted to see the rest of the pictures I got from

Saturday's Tough Mudder, check out the Critical Bench Fan

I don't think you need an account or anything.

 

Just hit LIKE while you're over there, than click "Photos" and go

You definitely need endurance, but it's not like running a half marathon

or anything like that because every 1/2 mile or you come to another

obstacle.  That gives you a chance to catch your breathe from the 

running.

 

In my opinion the best way to train for something like this is to do

MRT workouts or Metabolic Resistance Training.

 

Essentially, Metabolic Resistance Training is any type of workout
where you train with an elevated heart rate while allowing insufficient
recovery. Think supersets and circuits.

 

A long time colleague of mine Craig Ballantyne is known for designing

some of the best MRT workouts around.  

 

And yes he has done the Tough Mudder several times as well.

 

If you want to train for a Mud Race or just want to build some muscle
and lose fat without long-ass boring cardio check out this special he set

up for us after finding out we just completed the Tough Mudder too.
