Alexandra Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Has anyone here done this? I've seen some videos and still shots and everyone looks like they're in their twenties. Could a forty-something housewife train for something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 My friends do the Tough Mudder every year. They just completed the Sparta last week. They are in their early forties. The husband has battled cancer three times and had a bone marrow transplant (he's in remission now). It makes me feel downright lazy!

HSinNH Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have two 40-something SAHM friends that completed it. Give it a try!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikin' Mama Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 My uncle was just telling me that my aunt, who is early 60's, did one. She is not super fit either, but she's very determined. I say go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I've toyed with the idea. However, I've seen the ice water tank and that gives me major pause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee in NC Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm doing this in November in the Carolinas. I'm doing a much shorter one (only 5K) called Rugged Maniac next weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I did a Warrior Dash last year and am training for a Tough Mudder. It's a TOUGH race. But, there is SO much comraderie among the participants. People cheer you on and help you over the obstacles. It's awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
