I am doing one September 28th and let me tell you, it's really making me push my *kitten*!
If you are and would like to put together a little support/cheering squad group to share idea and challenges, please let me know and I'll get it going.
Cheers!

My buddy did one of these and I thought it sounded awesome!! I want too, but I don't know if I can be ready in time (have a ways to go to be in that good of shape). My goal is to do at least 1 or 2 5k races this summer. If I can work hard enough I would LOVE to do a tough mudder in the fall.
Anyways, I think it's an awesome goal!! I want to do it, and I think you're totally kick a** for going after it! Good luck! I'm in for a support group for this because something I'd love to do in the future!0 -
I am doing another one in October. Good luck!!0

I just signed up for one in November! I really have to ramp up my training now!0

I'm doing the Tri-State on October 13--my first.
This Sunday, I'm running a 15-K, also my first. The 15-K is part of the run-up to doing the Tough Mudder later in the year. I'll probably do another 15-K or half in the summer.
As the previous poster said, trying out another obstacle course is a good way to prep. I'm not sure though that Spartan is that much easier than a Tough Mudder. There is also Hero Rush and Warrior Dash.
If you're into home-based fitness training programs, they can provide some structure for training. I have done Beach Body's P90X, P90X+, Insanity, and Asylum. There are others out there besides Beach Body like RushFit. Jillian Michaels has tons of stuff out now too.0 -
My hubby and I signed up for one in Aug '13. I'm petrified. I've done a few 5k (will be doing one 4/6) and can finish under 40. But Tough Mudder may kill me.0

I'm running one on 4th May.. 4 weeks away (in the UK) ... Seems like a fun day out, up until the electrocution, whoever thought of that is not a nice person :-)
I train 4-5 times a week, which includes Kickboxing (very intense cardio) personal training session (High intensity strength training) and my own gym session, which is a bit of a mixture.
With all that, and hoping the weather warms up a bit, it should be a good one :-)0 -
:laugh: This weekend is my first Tough Mudder ... I have butterflies and am so excited about it!! We have been training since November and are as ready as we think we will be. :drinker: WHOORAH!
For our training:
We started out with the TM bootcamp in November and moved on to the following (still incorporate bootcamp style days once in a while)
We run and completed a 15k race in January and continue to run but rarely 10k + anymore
We do a hill run/climb 1-2 days a week minimum (we have a great hill that has 200+ stairs then you run up about 80 more and the top of the hill is another 99; or we take the road up instead of the stairs)
TRX - 1x/wk
Weights/body weight exercises - 2-3x/week (we focus on upper body)
Zumba in the circuit followed by a Zumba class once a week <<< my fun workout that hardly can be called a workout it's so much fun
Crossfit - I just joined but my friend has been going for a couple months
Sundays we run with obstacles (body weight training mainly - pull ups, push ups, tri dips) - we have recently done a 16 & 8k to prep and feel ready to go!!0 -
A friend of mine just asked me about doing one in November here in Florida this year. I told him i dont want to think about it so he said if he thought about it FOR ME...and signed me up, would i join his team? uh, yes, only if he pushes me in the mud first to get me going! haha....
good luck!0 -
I signed up for Tough Mudder in July in Buffalo. I have been running more than I usually do and focusing on strength training. I can't wait! I love a challenge0

I have been thinking about doing one of these, but I might start with a 5k one first. Maybe a warrior dash? But I would be up to have a group, do the training and support one another.0
