Training for the Tough Mudder, need advise

[DREBRE130]

Hey all, I'm new to the forum. I'm a 33 year old male who is in decent shape. I have been training for this tough mudder event that is about 6 months away. If you are not familiar with this event, it's a 10 mile running course with water, mud, hills, barbed wire, and many other obstacles. I am looking to bulk up some, increase my cardio, and tone up as well. With my work schedule, I'm at work for 2 days, then I'm off for 2 days. It lift free weights one day then do about a 2 mile run the other. I am up for any advise from weight training to supplements to diet to anything else. Thanks.

Weight training: Squats, traveling lunges, some form of clean or snatch. You can do upper body training, too, but it's less critical.

Have a look at this journal. http://training.fitness.com/journal/building-muscle-my-diet-exercise-plan-48942.html She recently did a half-marathon, I think (it was somewhere in the 20k ball park, can't remember the exact distance), and the training she did for it would be fairly applicable to what you're going to be doing.
