I'm actually planning on driving down from Jax to volunteer at the December one in Tampa. As for further information I'd start at their website - www.toughmudder.com there is a recommended work out, images from previous runs, and lots of good info about the group/company/race. If you have any additional questions let me know through PM, I'm not an expert, but I'm training for the one next year in Jacksonville, FL.

If you haven't already been out to the website - go out to www.toughmudder.com - often times you can find a team there too. I have several friends who do this every year. They have a blast!!!! Good luck with this.

bump - I'm training for an adventure/obstacle race in PA, but it's not tough mudder.

I'm doing the one in DC. I've done a few other adventure races, but none as long as the Tough Mudder. Scary!

Are any of you doing a blog during your training? It would be inspirational to follow one another on this journey....

Sounds like everyone is doing a fantastic job with their training. Keep up the good work during the holidays!

I'm planning on doing a 2.8 mile adventure race this spring/summer in central PA. I've done two 5Ks prior, but now I'm upping the ante and doing strength training another 5K training program to make sure I'm fit enough for it.

I've decided for the strength portion to use the Spartain Virgin weightlifting training guide. I've been doing it for two weeks already and already feel toned, regardless of the Thanksgiving feast!:-D

I'm participating in the Tough Mudder in Toronto Ontario this August, and can't wait. I did a 5k Warrior Dash last year and loved it, so I'm really looking forward to the challenge. As far as what to expect, check out the blog at http://mustachemantraining.blogspot.com/ The link will take you to The Mustache Man's report on the last Tough Mudder he did, but earlier blog postings describe each T Mudder he's participated in. There sure does seem to be a lot of water cannons used during obstacles! If you go to the Tough Mudder website and look at the training section, he did a funny and inspirational video of how he prepares...

At any rate, I think this will be a blast. What I really like about the Tough Mudder event is that it's not about making it through the course the fastest, but about working with your team and getting through it together. Can't wait!

I am doing the one in South TX on Jan. 29th 2012 and am very nervous! I'm in better shape than I was but not as good as I wanted to be. Good luck on yours!
