Tough Mudder Newbie wanting advice.

SmangeDiggs

Hi guys

So the Perth tough mudder is now less than a month away and i'm curious about what preparation i need to do in the days leading up to the event? Is there anything i should be eating/drinking in particular and should i give the gym a rest a few days before hand or do i just keep going right up to the day?

Thanks

I've never done the Mudder, but I am pretty sure that you should definitely not workout at the gym a day (or even two) before the Mudder. Events like this require some sort of taper (particularly for first-timers). Hopefully, some experienced Mudders can chime in to confirm or elaborate.
