Mud Mile is always going to be a Mudder favourite, brought to you by Isuzu this year. With its steep peaks and deep, mud-filled troughs it’s the best opportunity to get really, really filthy on course. But it isn’t just fun and games, you’ll need the helping hands of other Mudders to move through the sticky, slippery mud and a little bit of pre-event training wouldn’t hurt either.

How to Build Leg Strength for Mud Mile

You’ll need strong legs and glutes to pull your legs free of the mud and to climb up and over the mini mountains of dirt, luckily Isuzu have got your back (and legs). Combine these two easy workouts with your training regime and you’ll be a mud master in no time.

Week 1

The Workout

Exercises: 4

Work for: 20 seconds

Sets: 3 (or as many as you can manage

Week 2

The Workout

Exercises: 4

Work for: 20 seconds

Sets: 3 (or as many as you can)

Diagonal climbers

Squat jacks

Remember Mudders, while it is good to push yourself and see progress, make sure you stop any exercise if you feel uncomfortable or in pain.

Get yourself to the real Mud Mile at a Tough Mudder event near you.
