Ok guys i have a 9 mile obstacle course im doing in april (tough mudder) i'm in good shape strength wise and have been working out of and on for a while now...the only thing is i rarely run!! I was never a runner and i definately have never ran 9 miles...can anyone help me structure a program to gradually get me up to be able to complete 9 miles by april...as of now i run 2 miles on a treadmill and im spent...i am not worried about the obstacles that much because like i said earlier i am pretty strong upper body/core wise...just am dreading the running aspect of this thing..please i need some help here...any advice would be greatly appreciated

you should probably start running 9 miles as fast as you can...

Start doing the training for it such as long running

Google "couch to 5k" and "couch to 10k". I know quite a few people that have used this plan to help them get into running. A lot of runners go back to this plan after recovering from injuries so as not to reinjure themselves. However, since you're a little short on time you may want to tweak it just a bit. Hope this helps and good luck!
