In December, I asked a question about the proliferation of “obstacle races.” Then in May, I watched Emmy do Tough Mudder and was impressed with the physical requirements of that race. Apparently, I am not alone in my curiosity about the phenomenon, as the Journal of Exercise Physiology took on the topic in a recent issue.
It’s a fascinating Sunday read and great for anyone who is thinking about taking on an obstacle course or for people looking to learn more about designing training plans based in physiology (which is a good idea.)
Happy Sunday.
