Tough Mudder Training | Steve Ryall

Steve Ryall - Tough Mudder | Trevor | Jul 6, 2012

Tough week, but fitting I guess. The heat should prepare me for the Fire Walker (straw bales soaked with kerosene on fire). Training included my weekly visit to Adrenaline Training Center for some MMA training with Alex Gasson. A few 6 km runs around the Mill Pond (about 3 laps) in Dorchester, early morning, kept the body temps down along with my dry fit body sensor shirts worked out well. Some major landscaping in my yard provided lots of physical work and added some much needed “toughing up”. I had to dig a 50 foot trench 48” deep for hydro lines and then moved 5 yards of top soil. My two big fears for this event are still my hand strength and of course the heat. Not sure how you can prepare yourself for the latter. Need to start getting some laps in the pool to take the stress of my knees. New trail run courses are welcome, send them to me @fcrr_rd
