The plan on the right involves running as well as circuit training and strength sessions to prepare your whole body for your obstacle race. Even seasoned runners are going to require a good amount of time to build up their strength, so don’t delay in hitting the gym. We’ve included home circuit sessions and a core workout that can be done at home with minimal equipment to allow you to fit this into your week more easily, but you could head to a local class instead.
BODYWEIGHT CIRCUIT WORKOUT
Bodyweight exercises are those which don’t need any equipment; they use your own body as the weight. This means they can be done anywhere – at home, in the park or at a gym. Start with a 10-minute warm-up. If you’re working out at the gym, use the elliptical trainer or rowing machine at an easy level. Away from the gym, perform an easy jog, some skipping and arm circles.
Many obstacles demand upper body strength; something you won’t build by running alone
Perform each exercise continuously for 40 seconds, then take 20 seconds rest before moving onto the next exercise. Once you’ve completed all eight exercises, take three minutes rest before repeating the set for a second and third time.
