How to Train for a Multi-Terrain Race

How to Train for a Multi-Terrain Race (Without Losing Your Mind)

So, you've signed up for a multi-terrain race. Congratulations! You're about to run through mud, climb over obstacles, and splash through streams. It's going to be a blast! But before you can have fun, you need to train. Here's how:

  1. Find some hills to run up and down. You'll need to be able to tackle steep inclines and declines. If you can't find any hills, just imagine you're running up a giant chocolate chip cookie and down a bowl of soup. It'll have the same effect.

  2. Do some strength training. You'll need to be able to pull yourself up and over obstacles. Don't have any equipment? No problem. Just lift your couch a few times a day.

  3. Practice running through mud. If you don't have any mud, you can make some by mixing water and dirt together. Or you could just jump in a puddle and pretend it's quicksand.

  4. Practice running on uneven surfaces. You don't want to trip and fall, so practice running on gravel, rocks, and tree roots. If you can't find any uneven surfaces, just run around blindfolded.

  5. Get used to being wet. You'll be splashing through streams, so you need to be comfortable with getting wet. Wear a soaking wet onesie to bed and you'll be good to go.

  6. Finally, practice your battle cry. You'll need to let out a roar of victory when you cross the finish line. If you're not sure what to say, just shout "I am a unicorn!" It works every time.

And there you have it! Follow these simple steps and you'll be ready to tackle any multi-terrain race that comes your way. Just don't forget to have fun!
