Rugged Maniac Comes To Jersey
It seems as though a new obstacle race is popping up every day. Some are longer than others and have more obstacles, but for the most part, all of them share the same qualities: distance, mud, crawling, climbing, jumping, bumping… and of course some have elements such as extreme heat, extreme cold, barbed wire, fire [...]
Tough Mudder Training Alternatives – Devil’s Beard
Probably the biggest question I get asked when discussing our team’s experience at the Tri-State Tough Mudder with future participants is “how should I prepare for the event?” The Tough Mudder website does offer a plan of action for preparing for the event.

The phone conversation went something like this: “Are you sure?” “Yeah, yeah.” “It’s a light day. Only five miles. We’ll be back before the game starts.” “Nah, I’m cool.” “The Mudder is two weeks away.” “I’ll just get my miles in at the track after the game.” “You’re good with that?” “Totally. Five miles is [...]
Tough Mudder Training: Entering the Ring (of fire)…
I had been toiling it over for a few weeks. A good buddy of mine had asked me to join him and a small group of guys in this thing called the Tough Mudder. Funny name, but it sounded a bit different from the typical races he normally engages in. I immediately checked out the [...]
