Favorite Workout Venues

Last Saturday I finally made it back to my safe haven. A training ground not many set foot on. Few are lucky to be able to run this course with its hills, obstacles, hills, trail loops, hills, and...hills. The course is set on single track trail and logging roads. It includes obstacles of climbing ropes, horizontal ladders, push up stations, logs to run across, trees to climb, stacks of bricks to go over, and the terrain itself is the biggest obstacle.

I firmly believe the best way to train for any race is hills. If the race has hills then you are prepared for them. If it is flat, then it will be easier since you are use to running the hills. Pushing harder in training makes race day easier.

In addition to the hills there are obstacles. In a future post I will include pictures of the obstacles and sections of the course. I also plan on an interview with Randy "mountain goat" Wears, the fastest man I know. Not to mention a WTM qualifier, age group winner in the Warrior Dash, overall place holder and all around good guy.

What is your favorite workout or place to workout? Is there a park, a certain time at the gym, a class you take? What is it that gets you to GOAT?

Another favorite place to workout.

No matter where, when, or how...get out and GET SOME!

    I did yoga beside the 18 wheeler tonight. Went to two hot yoga classes this week. One in Washington, the other in Omaha. Typically it's Power 90 in the truck. Was carrying a 20 pound bag of ice today and it crossed my mind I've lost two bags of ice. I smiled...thanks Jeff.

    I am more of an urban gal, I do not have the luxury of acres of outdoor space to train in. On a regular basis, I attend spin classes 5 times a week - what keeps me drawn to my spin club? Not only a very good workout, but great friendships and positive people. On occasion I will hit the asphalt for an upcoming run.... hill training, I wish I could do more aggressive hills but alas the stairs wherever I can and whichever hills I can come across in the big City.
