I did a tough mudder back in September of last year. Make sure you work on upper body strength and cardio. Be prepared to get banged up a bit hope this helps

Thank you! How much cardio did you do to train for this. I have been bulking for last 6 months so cardio has been very minimal..

I honestly didn't do enough for it. I ran a couple miles a day for the week before. My calves were killing me after the first mile and a half. Eventually the pain subsided and I was able to just run through the dull soreness lol.

Over priced extortion racket, designed to give an "army" like experience by combining obstacles in a cardio arena. If you find it too hard or too challenging, then you are not fit enough and below a basic fitness standard. if you are suffering sore shins etc, then maybe time to do some jogging to avoid shin splints of other ailments resulting from being to heavy and not running enough. A very basic test involving simple obstacles. Coming from an army back ground i expected a lot more for my $145. That being said, it is fun if you have a few friends, but not worth the price they ask.

Tough mudder, spartan race, warrior dash, mud run, etc etc Crew checking in.

It is definitely WAY to expensive, but it is decently fun. The one in colorado was 13 miles, up a ski slope, with I believe 20 obstacles. The obstacles were incredibly easy and not challenging at all. The worst part was he ICE COLD water I had to dive in. Made my legs cramp up really bad. Overall Id give it a 5/10 experience. Honestly it was just to long to be super fun, and not enough cool obstacles. There were portions where it was just a long boring 3-4 mile stretch of nothing but dirt road. The only challenging portion, to me, was the distance going mostly uphill. But then again, I am an Infantrymen and we do things like this a lot, and I do many of these types of races in my free time. Spartan Race and Warrior Dash were much better in my opinion.

To train....go jogging for long distances 7-10 miles. All the obstacles are incredibly easy and really don't challenge at all. Rope climb, monkey bars, crawling through muddy tubes, crawling under electric wires, etc. Nothing difficult at all.

I have spent most of this afternoon watching videos of the obstacles. I am panicking now and seriously rethinking....would you do it again??

Seems like a good way to get injured

the Mudder is fun. If you can light jog 6 miles you'll be fine. Just give 'er and think of that free (or $145) dos equis and orange headband at the end lol.
