Hi everyone -
I'm hoping to get Fitnessfreak and/or anyone else who enjoys making rotations up to throw me some ideas for my next 4 weeks to prepare for a Mud Run.
My DH talked me into it, and now I don't see a way out. This is the Marine Corps. event that has you running from obstacle to obstacle, through mud pits, swinging on ropes to cross a water hole, crawling through culverts on hands and knees, climbing over a 5 foot high wall, a 10' high wall that must be done as a team, crawling under logs submerged in watery mud - you get the drift!
So I need to incorporate workouts that help me move my own body, include explosive jumps (perhaps HIIT training?), get my upper body and core prepped to hoist me and my team up and over things, and running/cardio endurance. Is there any hope? Whatever any of you suggest - even if it's just workouts to throw in the mix if not a full-blown rotation, I'm grateful for any ideas. I'm thinking I may want to do 2 daily workouts to prepare for the intensity of it, but not sure if that will work or backfire. (The Mud-Run is April 21st, by the way.)
Thanks,
