i have very recently just started back at the gym, we’re focusing on training for doing a hyrox next year but my partner really wants to do a tough mudder and there’s some nearby in october. he’s physically fit because of his job. i on the other hand run 1km in 7mins and feel like im dying and have very little upper body strength. how realistic that is actually be able to train to complete one by october?
This year I found it a bit easier. Probably due to being 20kg less than last year.
I was in the 7:45 wave but it got delayed to near 8:30 due to course not quite ready yet.
Entry was a bit slow but hey its not like later in the day with the massive queues..
Overall it seemed pretty quiet which i was okay with but there was still a lot of team work tool. I was able to redo obstacles whilst being filmed (eg pullups on funky monkey)
The mud crawl was much easier due to being on a flat surface and the headroom was like double the height.. plus I was glad we didnt have the huge filler fields to go through and the course was a bit different.
Mud mile had a huge metal spike poking out of one of the mounds, however that happened!
Sister also pointed out someone she believed was KSI who passed us in the shop- we didnt chase him and ask but his name matches on the tshirt with the names on it.
Seemed like a couple more drink stops and photographers on the course this year so I'm keen to see how they ended up, the grenade bars were nice.
Fingers crossed it doesn't cheapen out even more next year as I do like the intense obstacles but not when its stuff like scaffolding poles or a log, it certainly seemed quieter in the earlier wave.
Map is finally out for South West and brilliantly it includes Mudderhorn and Blockness, two non-Spartan obstacles that typically don't appear at the split weekends.
No Everest sadly but a decent looking course.
The event is tomorrow and I've not had any email about route, any information pack, nothing...
Considering they spam me all year about signing up for other events it seems pretty poor and just makes them look like money grabbers.
Have I missed something?
hi we have a wave time starting at 12, I’ve been hearing it gets really busy so just wondering what people would suggest as a reasonable time for aim to arrive for so we can be ready on time?
Just wondering what the logistics are of showering at TM events? Are there private spaces to shower/change or is it communal? I'm doing the UK South West event this weekend and just planning what to pack etc.
Sorry if this is post is not allowed! 🥲
I got screwed by Tough Mudder cancelling their event with no option for refund. Credit card company says too bad. They gave me two vouchers to redeem for another race, all of which require me to travel via plane and pay for lodging.
Sooooo I have two vouchers for any other event that I’m willing to sell for cheap to recover at least something. Is anyone interested or know where I can sell it?
I have 2 tickets for 15k Manchester 10th October
I unfortunately cant do this date and I'm planning to do midlands next year instead
I can see i can transfer my ticket to someone else for 20 pounds a ticket,
Is there somewhere i can offer this to someone? Just for the 40 pound cost of the transfer?
Seems like a waste to just leave them hanging there if someone who wants to go can get 2 tickets for 40 quid instead of the 100+ pounds they'd cost?
A week out from the Badminton Gloucestershire event and I've not seen the course map yet, has it been sent out and I just missed it? It doesn't change anything, but it would be fun to share with the team. Hopefully the heatwave doesn't roll into the weekend!
Hi! My fiancé is running the Nashville 15k and I’m running the 5k. We are wondering if there are any sneaker/running shoe recommendations that are under ~$150? We looked into the adidas Terrex rockadia, but wanted to see other options
Title: I click on checkout expecting $109.00 and probably taxes, and then I also have to pay "fees" and "add ons". $40 of extra charges that I can't op out on? Is that normal?
Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about signing up for my first Tough Mudder 5K in Toronto, but I would be going alone.
I'm wondering if it's a good experience as a solo participant. I know some obstacles require teamwork, so I'm curious if people usually help each other during the course or if I should find a team beforehand.
I don't do much strength training regularly. I can hang from a bar for about a minute, but I can't do a pull-up yet, so I'm wondering how important upper body strength is for completing the obstacles.
My goal is to complete as many obstacles as possible, not just finish the 5K.
