La Jolla Shores 5K, Hobie Call, and The Mustache Man
As I mention when last I wrote, I ran the La Jolla Shores 5K. I hadn't really been training for it so the 19:49 I ran was acceptable, even though I had hoped to run closer to 19:30. I did win my age group and placed 10th over all, so I have that going for me ;)

Hey bro,
ReplyDeleteIt's your bro! I rarely run (only when CF Mainsite WOD calls for it), but I decided to run in the Athens Twilight 5k (21:38) and 50k Gambler Bike Ride (around 2 hours).
For Mudder Training, I won't change much other than add some longer trail runs over the last 4-6 weeks leading up to the TM. I recommend a focus on the trails, occasionally adding in intermittent sprints. While running, pick up a log and run/walk with it. Lots of pull-ups, toes-to-bar or knees to elbows, and squats (air squats if you don't want to get under weight). If you can find a rope to climb, add that as well. I wouldn't focus on low crawls, but you will be on your belly in the mud/ice. Any swimming we encounter will be more of a suck-fest due to temperature of the water. Find a good shoe/sock combo that keeps mud/dirt/sand/rocks out... your feet will be wet.
