Been getting a lot of questions about WHAT the workouts will look like that we’ll be doing for the upcoming FVT Obstacle Race Event Prep 2016 training program …
So thought I would share “Phase 1” from the program we did last year.
We essentially did this for the first 4 weeks of training, and then switched to more specific prep for the last 4 weeks.
This year, it’s a different event we’re prepping for, so the training will look a little different – but this should give you a decent idea.

There you have it – “Phase 1” from the Mud Run Prep program we did last year.
We essentially did this for the first 4 weeks of training, and then switched to more specific prep for the last 4 weeks –
And this year, it’s a different event we’re prepping for, so the training will look a little different – but hopefully this gives you a decent idea of what we’ll be doing.
