World's Toughest Mudder and Goruck Training - Day 17

Friday, October 17, 2011

Today's workout was as follows

At the station before getting off work in the morning
.25 mile warm-up 15% grade 3.0 speed

8 min tabata run
15% grade 5.0-6.0 speed


Then, once I got home

Joaquin Miller Park stairs x3
2:34, 2;33, 2:25
Total of 702 stairs or roughly 35 flights of stairs up and down completed in 17:14


Indoor Rock climbing
v0-v3

4 no foot rope climbs 15'


This workout was pain free for both my knees and shins. I'll start adding in more hill climbs and jogs into my program. World's Toughest Mudder may be on a flat course, but GRC SF is bound to take full advantage of all the hills. Plus this will help to build up my calves and suspension to be better able to handle the mileage of both events.

Proper hydration definitely helped out a bunch here. We went out 4 times after midnight last night but i still had enough energy to get in a pretty decent workout.
