in Introduce Yourself
I'm training for the Virginia Beach Tough Mudder in June! I'm looking for MFP friends who've either already done a Tough Mudder and can give advice, or other people who are training for one so we can motivate me. If you're a Tough Mudder or a Tough Mudder In Training... Add me! :)

    I want to do one so bad. They don't come near me (closest one is 7 hours away), but I might just shoot for it since it isn't until next October.

    I've done two TM's so far. Virginia in 2011 and Mid-Atlantic in 2012. Spend time doing pull ups! Running is a given, but don't stress overall mileage. The distance gets broken up by obstacles. The walls and hay bails and crawling and all of that will wear on you if you haven't spent enough time training upper body. Do a pull ups and push ups routine while training and you'll be more than ready to tackle any obstacle. Some sprint work wouldn't hurt either, you'll need some explosion to make it to the top of Everest!
