Insanity and running

I am training for a tough mudder and have been running for a couple months. Today I ran 8 miles slowly at a 10;45 pace. But I am also going to do insanity (I have done a couple videos already) for strength and cardio when I can't run! Has anyone else done this together and how was your schedule?

    I did Insanity and ran as training for a Spartan race. I kept to the Insanity training schedule and did 2 short runs during the week with a longer run on the weekend. Make sure you do some hill work on some of those short runs too. Have fun with the Tough Mudder!

    Thanks. I try to do hills, just depends where I go run. Going to try to do more trail stuff soon.

    Tomorrow I start month 2 of Insanity. I'm training for a 1/2 marathon in October, I've managed to run three times a week 3-5 miles each. I'm a little worried about this month because the workouts go from forty minutes to an hour long each. I just plan on ramping up my miles when I finish Insanity at the end of August. Good luck to you!! I think anything is possible. Just listen to your body and try not to get injured.
