Trail Running and Squat Cleans

A few members of our gym have signed up for the tough mudder this year.  It is a 10 mile long obstacle course that is going to be set up in whistler.  To train for the event, we've started doing some supplemental endurance running.  We've chosen a trail run that is roughly 5km up by the Cleveland dam.  I ran it this Sunday, with a bit of a hangover, and managed to finish in 32 minutes.  I'll be taking that time down next time I run it for sure.  This morning I got a new personal record on my squat clean and jerk.  My previous best was 185lbs.  I was feeling fairly good today and managed to get 195lbs overhead.  The split jerk was fairly ugly though.  Next time I'm going to focus more on my technique rather than the weight.
