Tough Mudder

[Bullrush]

Anyone doing this over the weekend in Sydney? I'm running it on the Sunday. Please keep me in your prayers.

Go well (I don't pray).
I kinda want to do one of these, but wonder how much crazy preparation is needed. I'm fit enough on a bike, but never do much running anymore.

I've signed up for the sunshine coast one, but that's not until August.

Interested to hear how the event is

Lots of runs up Mt Coot-Tha on the schedule, mate?

Not looking forward to the electric shocks.....will post next week if I still possess any motor skills....

There will probably be one or two. Closer to the event though. She's a tough mistress and I wouldn't try it unprepared.

I am signed up for sunny coast as well. Currently 16 in our 'team'.

Ok, I am doing Tough Mudder this year. How did you guys go last year? Any tips? Is it bloody hard? Suggested training? I've got a team of about 8. Mostly front rowers but a few pesky backs.

I've been considering the Sunny Coast one. A mate did it last year and wore his GoPro. The biggest obstacles for me will be mostly submerged with muddy water, completely dark pipes that you need to crawl/swim/scramble through. Fucks with my head thinking about it.

A group of us are looking to likely do the Sydney event when it's announced sometime this year. Will be most of our first. Evidently it's not too bad if you are with the pack as you tend to get a bit of rest as you approach the scrum at each obstacle.

If you go on the TM site you'll actually find they have different levels of preparation programs. You have to enter things like height/weight/age etc.

We'll be preparing for it by doing the 'Running Scared' (it's a Zombie run) event in May it's only 8km as opposed to TM's 20 but is run at night. The big decision will be on whether to be the chased or the chasers.

Do lots of running......LOTS of running. Cross country running if you can. The obstacles are actually pretty easy but the running is a killer...

 

[RugbyReg]

`Ok, so this is now just over a week away.

Any last minute entrants to the Sunny Coast? I hear numbers are way down so perhaps the crowding at the obstacles I hear about will be down as well?

Training has gone well. Would have liked to get a bit more distance in my running, but bugger me I hate running.

And dark tunnels submerged in water.

A friend who lives in Pomona is doing it. She's worried she's not going to be fit enough.
