  How to Train for Tough Mudder

  “Do I have to train for Tough Mudder?” It’s probably the most common question we hear. The answer is no, especially if you’re taking on Tough Mudder 5K. Tough Mudder isn’t a race, no one is timing you and no one will force you to do burpees if you walk or even skip an obstacle.
