You will be running, lifting, pushing, pulling, throwing and getting “Tough” for the challenges that are presented on the course. This program is designed to increase your running speed and endurance while at the same time increasing your physical and mental strength so you can over come the obstacles on the course and in life.This programming includes CrossFit style WODs, strength training, running intervals, endurance running and obstacle specific exercises to get you ready for your 1st, 5th or 25th race. The program is designed to be flexible based on your skills, ability and race goals.
