[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6190318, member: 177"] The "Run For Your Lives"* was a lot of fun. Once, my wife was having a conversation with someone about exercise. At the time, she was doing various workout videos - mixed aerobic and strength training stuff, and yoga. Someone asked her about running and she said, "I'll run when I have monsters chasing me." Well, then that friend of hers found out about the RUn For Your Lives, and my wife had to eat her words a bit. I just needed exercise, and it sounded fun, so I joined her. It is a 5k course. The time we ran it, there was a *lot* of ankle-deep and more mud. There were obstacles (walls to clamber over, Normandy barriers, logs over water, and so on). You also wore a belt with three flags (like those used in flag-football, attached to the belt with velcro), and there were people on the course playing zombies (in full costume and makeup) who tried to take your flags. We did *not* train to actually run the entire course. That would require a really dedicated cross-country, "Tough Mudder" trail runner type of person. We trained to be albe to walk when we could, and sprint when we had to. To that end, we used "Couch to 5K" as a training base, and that worked really well for us. We had access to an indoor track, so we could train through the winter. Our basic goal was, "Be able to run for half an hour without stopping", and we had the upcoming event as a motivator. These things all helped set us up for success. Lack of a goal or motivator can really kill an exercise plan. [SIZE=1]*There are "Run for Your Lives" events around the country.
