Tough Mudder - Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet

Just signed up for the one in Scotland! Can't wait 7 months to train for it, taking a break from kickboxing and trying to push myself with different thing and this should do the job!

If anyone has done it before, any training tips on how I should prepare?

Did tough guy a few years back. It's not as hard as people make it out to be ! Spend most of the time standing about at bottle necks waiting for people to get through the obstacles in front of you.

Hardest part when I did it was the fact it was in January and you had to break the ice in the water to get past obstacles.

Ireland has lots of these type of events, few of my mates did them.

you definitely would want to train before for a couple of weeks to build up your stamina
