Heyo TL!

Some of you might know that i've been training lately for seattles TM event!

For those of you who don't know what tough mudder is (TM) heres the 2013 seattle video.



I know a few of the people on TL have done the event and was hoping to get some tips for training and stuff that will help in the next month and advice on gear that they found particularly helpful or dragged them or their fellow mudders down.

For training wise:

I alternate between 5mile and 3 mile runs pretty much daily atm. Will bump that up to all 5 mile runs and maybe an 8 mile in the next couple of weeks or so. For my runs, i take a break about every 1.5 miles or so and do sets of pull-ups/push-ups/moutain climbers/ and sit-ups.

I don't have access to a gym anymore, so i've been sneaking in some late night runs to the park to hit the monkey bars and balance beam.


Supplementing my physical activity with work and other sports that i happen to play throughout the week.

Overall worries that i need to adress in the next month for training.

-monkey bar stuff
-grip strength
-overall fitness levels
-gear


For gear, im using the spandex legging thingies and shorts, and probably a spandex shirt thingie. I have a long sleeve available depending on temps for the day. (you never know if it will rain in seattle ^^)

what are your opinions on gloves? I went out and bought a pair of madgrip gloves that i modified to train with, but have heard positive and negative sides to them.

Also excersizes for grip strength, and any tips for obstacle courses.


-Thanks TL

TL should sponsor you I agree. TL should sponsor everyone doing difficult athletic stuff, in fact. Everyone that is doing cool and interesting things and is on TL a lot should be given the materials to do whatever they want

Seriously good luck, always interesting to read about these.

GL dude! Sounds like you have a good training plan underway! Are you doing this with a group?

Sounds like you have the cardio base you need with daily 3-5 mile runs. Keeping that up with a weekly long run should more than suffice. It's obvious you've checked the suggested training plans online. Throw as much bodyweight and pullups as you can in at intervals during your runs. As far as grip strength, is your primary concern the monkey bar drills? You could throw in some 1-arm hangs for time during your bar practice.

For gear, definitely wear only technical fabric. Cotton sucks on wet shit like this... don't do it! GL dude!!!

Awesome!! I did one with basically no training, and I completed all but 3 or 4 obstacles. (although I used to be a d1 athlete and had a good couple friends with me who were in great shape and showed me the ropes) The hardest part to me is 1. the running since I was not in great running shape 2. how cold it was where I did it, especially after the arctic enema. Not sure how cold it gets in WA but prepare to be wet for 90% of it. If you have water resistant stuff that would be best, you don't want heavy clothes because that will weigh you down. Also footwear is important, you need something that you can run in while its soaked and covered in mud. I did it without gloves and was fine, actually the parts that got beat up for me were my knees and my arms got scratched up like crazy. GL HF!

I had no issues without gloves. I only wore under armor briefs and shorts (and my fivefingers). As a relatively fit individual my whole life I only ran a few 4-5 mile runs in preparation on top of my usual lifting and sports and I ran the whole course. It's a blast, you're going to love it! Live it up out there
