Getting it done with the “Dad Training Plan.”
Today’s Guest: Devin Nelson
Information:
Devin has been running ultra marathon distances for three years.
He ran obstacle races and ran the World’s Toughest Mudder last year.
He returned to Silverheels after failing to finish and in 2022 he achieved it.
Silverheels was the only 100 mile race he did in 2022.
Things we discussed:
Devin ran the World’s Toughtest Mudder again this year.
His goal was 75 miles and he reached his goal this time.
We talked about why he is back in the program and that when he was in 2021 there was a lot going on in his life.
Devin is part of a running group in Topeka, KS. He has convinced several of his friends to commit to ultramarathons.
He said that this year the World’s Toughest Mudder was harder because the weather was colder this year.
If you can’t complete an obstacle, you have to take a penalty. In one of the difficult obstacles the penalty was to ride a bouncy ball for a set distance.
The first half of the year Devin’s training consisted of a lot of running because he was focused on the Silverheels 100.
In his training he does kettlebell workouts, circuit training, lots of intervals.
He called his training plan the “Dad Plan.” He fits in his workouts whenever he can squeeze them in.
