The most common question I get from people back home is: What's China like? My website: http://www.owendennis.com China blog: http://www.owendennis.com/blo...
Assuming you can run 2 miles now at a nice easy pace (conversational), within 20 weeks you should be able to train up to being able to finish marathon distance at that nice easy pace (between 10 and 12 minute miles) or approximately 4 to 5 hours.
Step 1: Running. To complete a Tough Mudder, you must be able to run 10-12 miles, as this is the milage range of all Tough Mudder events. To train for running this distance, a marathon running schedule comes to mind first. However there are several things to alter in the basic two week cycle marathon training schedule. Most marathon training schedules focus on a two week cycle that repeats back to back anywhere from 15 weeks to six months from race day.
