Mud Run Training Plans

---

Mud runs, mud races, obstacle course runs and adventure racing are relatively new but very exciting running events. These high energy events inject some needed fun and variety into your normal running routine. You could continue with your typical training routine and still be fairly well prepared for the unusual requirements of mud run racing, but why not switch up your training routine just a bit. By engaging in a semi-custom mud run training program you will be fully prepared for the higher intensity movements of the mud run. You will perform better and even more importantly, avoid injury.

This series of mud run training schedules are designed to meet your obstacle run, mud run and adventure racing needs. Each mud run training plan includes specific running workouts and strength training routines to prepare you for your obstacle course event. Each mud run training plan includes the following components to help you meet your obstacle course running and racing goals. Each training component includes training schedules for 4, 5, 6 or 7 workouts per week so you can customize them to your training time.

Six to Eight Week Training Schedule

The primary training plan is a 6 to 8 week schedule, depending upon the specific plan, that begins with a 2 mile long run and progresses to various distances depending upon the specific plan you choose.

Strength Training

Strength training is important for all distance running plans, but it is especially important for mud run racing due to the climbing, jumping and crawling demands. The strength training exercises included are specifically designed for mud run racing.
