northman88 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 After all of the training and apprehension, I finally ran Tough Mudder in Toronto this past weekend. It was difficult but I'm certain that with another year of training, I can perform it more easily next year. It was a great way to start on my fitness journey. Any other Mudders out there?

skinNbones Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi, I'm considering a Tough Mudder for next year, gicen the OCR fever that seems to be overtaking the Rangers. Would love to hear some reviews/opinions of the difficulty level of these and what the atmosphere is like. (Remember I'm a newcomer to this sort of training ) I see green herbs !

northman88 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 First off, the atmosphere is amazing. They make you recite an oath before the race and one part (paraphrasing) is "I will help my fellow racers complete the course". There were a couple obstacles I wouldn't have been able to do without a helping hand. Difficulty: I'm by no means in amazing shape and I was able to finish. The Toronto Tough Mudder is hosted at a ski resort, so there is a LOT of running and hiking up steep inclines. My legs are killing me today but with hill training leading up to it, you'll be fine. Upper body strength is required for the majority of the obstacles (the crawling and "fear-based" obstacles were easily done) and will require climbing walls and/or rope. If you're training pull ups already, you should be fine for next year. I train bodyweight myself (pull ups, push ups, check out my workout log if you'd like) and I'm not sore at all in my upper body (not counting the cuts and bruises). All-in-all, awesome experience.

Sam Ashen Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 That was a term I have not heard for a long time. At first I thought this is what you meant by MUD. 1 Quote Classless Human Male Warrior - Introduction Height: 1.77m Weight: 93 kg Spoiler Current Maxes: (repsxkg) Squat: 10x122.3, 5x138.2, 3x147; 1x170 Bench Press: 10x79, 5x93, 1x102 Deadlift: 10x152, 5x192, 3x210, 1x229 Overhead Press: 10x52, 5x61, 1x70.3 Current Battle Log: 1707 Sam Ashen Summer Swole Program 2017 Challenges: 1701 1702 1703 1704 1705 Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1603 1604 1605 1606 1607 1609 1610 1611 1612 Daily Log:The Daily Grind Form Check: Stronglifts Olympic More FC's: Pistol Squats Want to play?
