I've used P90x before, and I can honestly say it works. They have you track your progress as you do it, and I did it religiously for like a year. I started at University now and stopped for the past 8 months and lost all the muscle I gained unfortunately, but I was thrilled with how it was going. Do P90X 1 tho, 2 seemed like they just wanted more money.
Great thing about it is that you can do P90X and still run, that's what I was doing for awhile. Cross training a bit, and my dad who is a marathon runner and for whatever reason spends time researching this type of Sh*t said its ok and even good to work out your legs with lifting and run in the same day.
Most important part is probably the endurance, so just keep building that up. Run 3 or 4 times a week, increasing your distance or time. Some runs go for time and a shorter distance, some for distance and a longer time, etc.
Good luck! I'm doing a mud run in a couple weeks as well. I have no idea what I'll be doing tho, I just know a lot of alcohol is involved so it's probably not as crazy as yours.
