[Obsidius101]

thumbs up if you wanna go to the tough guy and saw this on the jackass show

[baller4life03]

3 years in a row smashed it every time couldn't think of a better way to spend my Sunday's actually

[CampinCarl354]

@baller4life03 try the marathon in California, its insane. Theres ppl running in the intense heat up in the mountains with low oxygen. its so hot that the runners have to stay on the white lines of the road just to keep their shows from melting and if you stop for a second your immediately disqualified.

[willmo42]

as soon as fall rugby is done in the states im training for this! this is an opportunity to good to miss! :D

[bradisamaggot]

[danni9197]

[heathmoor]

"Every year thousands of people gather together in a cold, wet, muddy field, to run across an extreme assault course for 4 hours. Why? I have no idea."-Dzillaa

@Dzillaa,

Sorry, but they don't run, they mainly walk and sometimes trot. They possibly couldn't anyway because there are way too much participants. The organization should have made (more) series to avoid overcrowding the circuit. At least, in a marathon you usually have the chance to run as much as you can after start point.

[redk78]

Thanks Zamriasra for the adive but you a couple of months too late. I complete it in Jan 11. Ill be back in Jan 12. Aaaarrrgggggg

[nezza2005]

Does anyone know if any of the workers there supply water along the way (water to drink lol) very important for me i have to stay hydrated! doing it this july 31st

[Zamriasra]

This video is bad ass got to say 

[GevshenianBros]

NAKKKED dude at 5:01 ? bahahahah

[luke18wright]

nice :))

[siddycool1]

why were those women doing it?

they can't be tough guys.

they should be in the kitchen

[Haza9hill]

When we get invaded by space aliens or the Chinese or something, these will be the people who manage to survive.

[MouseOfVirtue]

My prof told the class about how his niece did this challenge last year. (We're in Canada) none of us could believe this was an actual event!! Now that I've looked it up I know that he wasn't full of crap!

[ISTriFfeRI]

there is a naked guy at 5:00 :D bravado :D

[bailey830]

This really doesnt look that tough.! Is it a full marthon?

[pot12340]

@bailey830 Ha. Come to England and try it. :)

[Chromana]

Hey, I was wondering what KIND of tough this is? I'm quite a skinny guy (i.e. not that strong) but I have loads of energy and stamina. Since there isn't any kind of lifting (apart from pulling yourself up some stuff at some points) it seems like I'd be able to do this.

[JustinHarris101]

is there a special prize for first place?

[TheSeanSimpson]

@JustinHarris101 1st place? try actually completing it first !

[shoobs98]

my form tutor is doing this- mr hope. you actually have to sign a death warrent so if your die your family wont sue! its well outtt!!

[atromford]

well done boys.....i finished the year or tiger a few years ago and i havent been as cold since. hope to loose the belly and race you next year.

[EnDiHjobi]

Where is this held at?

[screwmanx]

Tough guy challenge?

more like retarded guy challenge.

[switchkrooks32]

wheres the eletric tape and fire and stuff? is that for 2011?

[vhtimetraveler8]

This course looks tough. I run stuff like this, except in super hot weather. My best marathon is 3:48:00. Best half marathon is 1:37:00. I would run this if I had the chance. By the way,what day do they run this in. Winter?

[big5824]

@vhtimetraveler8 30th of january

[shanecox704]

good vid

[connalnewbery]

where is this? and when? looks sick

[TheOneSniper]

That lazy bastard at 1:42 ran around the log!

[funkybandit]

wahey, I AM IN THIS, i'm one of the marshalls at the bottom of the slalom at 3:44

[poppylovesPINK]

Hah behind the field i live there.

[12hellobye34]

could you do this wearing contact lenses? or would glasses be better

[robnaylor55]

@12hellobye34 I did it wearing lenses. Got some mud in one of them, but glasses? I'd think not!

[Liamiras7]

Is the guy at 3:38 NAKED?!

[Dzillaa]

@Liamiras7 He was wearing a mankini. It was very disturbing

[Liamiras7]

@Dzilla That solved every single question I had and created 500 more at the same time...

[oleedee]

@Liamiras7 shuuutup

[petardafajakreka]

@Liamiras7 hahaha!no hes wearing a pink suit at 0:35min I dont know how to copy paste the time:)

[redk78]

seriously any pointers??

[doanchi1]

@redk78 This is how I train for winter toughguy. Only short runs - 6 - 7 miles.

Lots of hill running. Repeat running up hills. lots of pull ups and press ups so you can pull your own body weight. Run the 6 - 7 miles in shorts and break through the ice to get into rivers, submerge yourself then carry on with run. The first winter one I did I got hyperthermia and severe nerve damage to both hands (still cant feel em -see my video) - next time I prepared better, vaseline and came 250th ish

[view12375758758]

@doanchi1 r u runing in 2011 or the winter 2010 run?

[redk78]

Im lookin to do this in 2011. What training does anyone recomend. ive done a half marathon in 2hrs 10 and full marathon in 5hrs 45. its not as if theres an assault course anywere. any advise, tips would be welcome

[Dzillaa]

@redk78 I'd recommend running a marathon in shorts through an icy marsh, and climbing over a barbed wire fence. Thats the only thing thats realistically gonna prepare you.

[andyr798ken]

@Dzillaa not really, tough guy is only an 8 mile run

[robnaylor55]

@redk78 I trained by running through woods in deep snow, plunging into a chest-deep stream full of mud and branches and wading up it for 200 metres or so :-)

Not sure it helped!

[funkybandit]

@redk78 you must acclimatise your body to the cold, you'll be swimming across icy pools, and then you get out and the breeze feels even colder, the cold is very good at taking your strength away from legs and grip, take cold showers and swim outdoors (SAFELY)

[liberty4636]

@redk78 Look at our training vid . In the sea aevery day in the winter. kickstart keef

[superfly00700]

@redk78 hi, im 13 and doing on 24/9/10, i did it last year at 12 and trust me it is EFFORT, if you wanna be prepared i would advise going cross country, i go to air cadets as we do alot of running there so we can raise money for charity.

I would advise to go with some friends for more support, if your 17+ then you have to sigh a death warrant but dont let this put you off.

[crazydude22122]

@redk78 yes i have a tip...dont die lol

[butbutts]

@redk78 it does help being a good runner no doubt.... but you dont get to do much running as the bottle necks prevent it and the crowds.. the cold icy conditions is all you need to worry about.. hyperthermia and muscle cramping is what will get to ya.. good luck may go 2011 aswell

[hawk1977]

@redk78 Its not the cardio endurance that hurts its the cold, the obstacles can be so draining when your muscles don't function because its so cold. I recommend fell running or up hills cross country whilst doing press ups in streams. cold showers every day will help.

[Zamriasra]

@redk78 Lots of jump roping, and take up parkour lessons. 

[CharlieRainer3000]

Im in your video :)

[lookhappyactnormal]

did this in january. THE MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD! ever! hypothermia is very interesting...

[fiddleteach]

anybody have vids that make me tough?

[admezza]

great video, i did the tough guy for the 1st time this year bloody freezing anyone who took part knows just what i mean,see you all next january

[gafa45]

did this challenge for first time in January,gave up bodybuilding lost 2 stone in 4 months and started running best thing i have ever done

[DABAGGIE1]

good video am i right saying you have to sighn your will before you race ?

[Dzillaa]

There is a death warrant you have to sign

[mrstratomaster]

im thinking of doing it next year im training for it now im only 15, which is easyer the summer or winter one

[keithc6082]

any 1 els frm N,ireland there this year.........

[keithc6082]

big up every 1 that finished tg 2010 i hav dun 5 ironMan races b 4 and tg is hard 2 get ur head round in the cold and ice--- c u all next year front squad 4 me this time 1hr 55min 2 beat.................

[squizzer73]

Completed this in January, coldest I have ever been :-)

[oscarnodiaz]

A real tough guy at my school tried this - I think he was coming 4th, about a mile from the end when he fell unconcious. We all thought he was gonna come in the top ten. It's a shame.

[matnju]

Agree with you calgacvus, I did this years in 2.22 so many more "weak females" were tougher than me!. A weak female actualy stopped to help me out the vietcong tunnels when my legs cramped up. So thanks begaw25 if that was you.

[view12375758758]

does anybody know how long it would take to train for this event ?

[Dzillaa]

The contestnts spend up to 6 months training

[schogea]

my friend trained almost nothing and did it in 1:57 i took 2:27 but trained a lot more then him, but yeah i would say everybody who can run about 12 km, and is total mad can finish the race,

[geoffknight]

My son did it and I am so proud of him. Any body who completed that deserves respect. Maybe the UK isn't quite dead yet. Stuff the nanny state, this is proof that we still have some guts. Well done everybody who was involved in this.

[adepsa]

could be tougher if they excluded the females, but i'd like to do it anyway.

[begaw25]

as a female who completed the course on sunday, I would just like to say that your statement is not only idiotic, but goes against the encouraging team attitude of the event.

[adepsa]

i just wanted to say that males are physically stronger and mindling man and women toegether in one event lowers it's sport quality and standards.

i'm not your average feminist advocate Joe next door, so don't act like i have to respect you or something.

[Kiz88ify]

Tough Guy is not your standard "sporting" event. there is no prize for 1st place, everyone who completes it gains the same respect- whether 1st or last. This event is about seeing how far you can push yourself and the team work to help people complete the course is immense. Yes men are generally more physically able but as a female who completed Tough Guy- I think females are mentally stronger to complete it.

[jenii72]

excuse me!

[calgacvus]

Maybe you can comment when you have actually done tough guy. I did it this year with a time of 01:57 which means that 10 supposedly weak females were tougher guys than me.

[TheRipp3RPD]

3:43 spartaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[jenii72]

they were great romans!!

[fish5133]

Excellent. this is the sort of thing that made Britain great, not the illegal invasion of foreign lands

[adepsa]

illegal what? I had a great opinion about this event, but now that i see so many left wing liberals posting i'm starting to change my mind.

[tait1967]

what a great vid mate, well sound...when do you reckon the results will be up on the website??

[yungmoo]

i did it in 2hr 27mins not bad for mi first time, loved it

[xxmattyreynolds92xx]

some people think this is a race and theres a 1st/2nd/3rd, no there aint! its a challenge and the people who competed in it are all winners! :)

[garethjones399]

2hr 20 did your mate win it mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[JediCSEvilHero]

what the song on 2 min?

[freddage91]

If anybody has any videos/pictures from the race that just happened of a tall ginger guy wearing a topheat saying "FRED" or "4472" on it can you please show me, it's irritating how i'm not in anything.

[S1ngHs4tioN]

This brings back loads of memories!... I spotted myself at 8:36 trying to get up the last hill... then epic fail at 8:50 sitting on my knees!... drained at this point... but what a day!... defo be back next year!... Thanks for the video! bought back plenty of memories :D

[Kiz88ify]

have you guys seen the comments people have left on the daily mail article about Tough Guy? It really angered me! It was the best -toughest experience of my life! I will be definitely be doing it again, well done to all whether you came 1st or last =)

[Wtfarie1234]

It was awesome jan 31 :D

If i got all my video clips, im gonna try to make a nice video 2

The cold wasnt really a problem only at the underwater tunnel ive gotten a little brainfreeze :P

You just get a bit tyred of all the water at the last part

[Rodders80]

I want to do this!!

[snootypistoleer]

Great day out ...no bitching at the event.... You get to see what human beings are supposed to be like.... everyone helps everyone else....you wouldn't find it at any other event.  Truly awe inspiring

[Boyddie]

It was so cold that day, couldnt stop shaking for about an hour after finishing, but i cant wait to do it all over again next year! Great video!

[nathanpepper]

that was the hardest thing i`ve ever done. You just can't prepare for the water temperature!!

[daiwhite]

great video!! spoted myself twice!

[Joe6799]

What a day and what a great video- try it to believe it....

[Spideyfan117]

lol, one word.... epic.

[platanoking7]

where is this at?

[GeoB1tches]

Yeahh this was a brilliant day! first time and gunna be going next year! can hardly walk but proud to show the medal!

[KillBushvol2]

Hi i took part in this yesterday and would love to have a copy of this clip. I've placed an order for the DVD but would you be kind enough to email this to me as well if I give you my email address. It was a tough challege but fantastic. Cheers

[chiropractorpete]

Great Vid. Did event and still smiling, nice to link friends to your vid to get us all stoked to re-run in 2011!

[woodyyop]

brilliant video i just about saw myself,. good job

[garethjones399]

that would be a walk in the park looks easy try running a marathon in under 3hrs

[b10cker]

See you there next year then!

[robnaylor55]

I've run a marathon...not in under 3 hours (I'm an old man) but IMO this was *much* harder. For the marathon I just got into "the zone", and kept a rhythm going. There is NO possibility of getting a rhythm on this, and when you have to force yourself into yet *another* freezing chest-deep pond when you haven't even started to thaw from the last one, or climb a cargo net when you can feel any of your extremities, you realise how tough it is.

Nah, the marathon was much easier, IMO.

[sshhg07]

My mate has run a marathon in under 2hrs 20 he has done this and said it was harder. Look forward to seeing you next year as it is so easy

[S2000Y]

that makes him olympic standard, whats his name ?

[peanuts2486]

Brilliant video, really captured the event well, missed out the underwater section which was a killer, you can see me my mates at 0:16 the burton toughguy team! cheers for posting this

[robnaylor55]

Bloody good effort on the camera...catches the spirit of the event very well. Well done Andy, Seb, Nick, me and the support crew, who really "willed" me through the last big lake!

[BrendanCalls]

That water was so cold, unless you did ir o have done it before there is no comparison that you can explain to people

Knees fell there is rocks iside them today but can't wait for Nettle Warrior 10 and then TG2011

Great video

[spireitelad]

haha this is great the relief on there faces at the end though

"thank god thats finnally over"

[MrCadams77]

Absolutely awesome. I took part and loved every second, although I've never been as cold as I was then. Back for more next year. Great vid, shows the course well. shame it doesn't show the full water submersion at the tunnel or the bomb jump.

[beatmasterdave]

I competed in this, was awsome! Glad that i squeeze in the vid at 1:01 (the guy with black beanie, red vest, black arms, black bottoms)

Great video! really captures the atmosphere!!!

[xxmattyreynolds92xx]

my brother also competed in this event, fair play to all you guys :)

[penny9299]

Is there any truth in the broken leg at the start story!!!

[penny9299]

Excellent vid man. . . . that Mr Mouse is one sick mother. . . !Big up to Charlie Dooley. . Andy Ellis Tourlogh Phillip Me and all the other crazy fools. See yas all next year ay!

[S2000Y]

As my mate said it was definately the coldest thing he has ever done but nowhere near the hardest, which the southdowns run wins by a mile

[IAmTheRandomKid]

i heard that Bam from Jackass was there.

[leebarker67]

Great video, great day to look back on but never ever again, no way not ever ha ha.. Well done to Andy,Steve,Jason,Tony & Robert from Trafford Mill

[firekight97]

3:44 THIS IS SPARTAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[protosaber363]

3:44

ITS A SPARTAN!!

[sshhg07]

Excellent video thanks for posting it I even managed to spot myself well done everyone it was a great day but the water was bloody freezing...

[brannigan75]

Great video, shame you can't tell just how damn cold you are when running it. Till next year!

[lindibabes]

you didnt look very excited andy o'neill.lol

well done on finishing and raising loads for help for heros.:oD

your a LEGEND!!!!!

[AndyBint]

Whoever did the video must have done 4+ miles running - well done.

@3:18 the 10 reps up the steep hill were just horrible. More training for 2011 needed!

[Dzillaa]

I exhausted myself chasing after the runners, LOL

[batterycock]

do you have to pay to enter this, or can you just sneak in?

[funkymonkeyboy852456]

Excellent video mate, i travelled down from scotland to take part with only one friend for company, now i can show everyone exactly what it was like. Bring on next year, brillant day!!

[Fallingoffabike]

Great vid, well done.  The 3 dips underwater were beyond horrible. I got round on stubborness rather than fitness after that.

[steelmonkeydemon]

Great video. You summed up the day perfectly. There's even a millisecond of me. Thanks

[hefmister]

This video doesn't show the bit where you go underwater. That's the bit where it changed from fun to just ridiculous
