Obstacle course racing (also known as “mud running”) has taken off as a thrilling and challenging way to push physical limits and defeat fears. As the sport has grown in popularity and magnitude, people ranging from elite athletes to weekend warriors, young families, CrossFit gyms, sports teams, corporate groups, and everyone in-between are training for these events.

Although you probably can jump off the couch without any training and complete a Savage Race (with the support of everyone around you, of course), we don’t actually recommend it! Training properly will allow you to get out there and conquer the world’s best obstacles at Savage Race and have a ton of fun while you’re doing it.

Here are five mud run training workouts that you can do on your lunch break – no equipment needed. Try to tackle these short but intense workouts at least three times a week leading up to your mud run. Remember to spend a few minutes warming up before you begin the workouts, stay hydrated, and take time to cool down and stretch when you’re done. Most of all, have fun!
