    I didn't train too hard...the running was the easy part for me. The most difficult was the balancing stuff...balancing on a muddy rope, for example. I also ran around one obstacle I didn't want to do ( climbing up a wall using a rope ). It's pretty laid back and you'll see all kinds of interesting people there.

    I was considering doing a Warrior Dash for next July and they actually show you somethings you can do to train for it. Check out their link. They actually break it down by your fitness level. It can't hurt to try!

    I have done the tough Mudder (12 miles 28 obsticles) MS Mud run (6 miles) and 3 5k mud runs. I have done each of them by myself and would high;y recommend doing this with a friend.
    I love the runs but i have never run a lick of it. I walk the entire things and go as fast as i can to each new challenge. i have horrible knees and can not run but i find walking quickly is good enough to get me across the finish line.
    As far as prepariong for the obsticles just do some strength training. prepare your muscles for new activity. the post someone put earlier with all the different excersises was fanastic. Do what you can of those.

    I'm a bit late, but I found this, a PDF with a 12 week program for a woman doing a mud run. Good luck (or: hope you did well if you already did it)! Here is the link at lozilu.com: http://lozilu.com/train/welcomefitnessPlan.pdf
