Hey everybody! So I will be joining a group of friends to participate in the Tough Mudder coming up in May 2013 at Virginia Beach. I was just wondering if anyone participated in the VA Beach Tough Mudder just a few months ago? I'm trying to figure out how to train for it. What do I need to be prepared for? I'm pretty strong endurance-wise, but I worry about my physical strength. I do lift heavy a few times/week, but will this be enough?

Thanks in advance for the feedback :-)

    There was a thread about this I read last night that had some good advice. If you search "tough mudder" it should come up. :)

    I do remember that thread mentioned running on trails to get ready for it and upper body strength like pull ups.

    Best of luck! I want to try it myself.

    Done a few Tough Mudders and have signed up for the Va Beach race. My advice is to exercise the muscles you think you will need to climb over walls. :) The 12 foot walls absolutley suck IMO! Chin ups and push ups seem to be the exercises that will help the most.

    Good luck!

    Try the WOD from spartanrace.com, those are great for preparing to do obstacle races.
