I didn't train for that long. That's impressive. When I did Mud Hero, which is like a tiny fraction of Tough Mudder, I probably did about a month's worth of training for it. Basically, just biking, running and some lifting of light hand weights. I was not at all prepared for running the really steep hills. That's where I struggled. Did really well with the obstacles, but got killed trying to run up the hills. When I ran before the event, it was on even ground and pavement, no hills or grass. I would have killed it if it had been even ground we were running. Dammit.
So, hopefully, you've been running steep inclines and on grass.
Smart with the shoes. I have two pairs of runners and I have had them for about two years. I will protect them with my life because they are so comfortable. I was not going to risk losing them, but probably should have gotten something better than Walmart brand.
I would love to try Tough Mudder. My cousin does it in Vancouver and the pictures he posts are always insane. I didn't realize they had an event out here until it was too late. Next year, I'll try it. I'll start breaking in my shoes now.
