In order to gain fitness we need consistency in training day after day, week after week. We also need diversity and change to create the positive training effects you're looking for. In adventure racing, we try and work these two aspects into our training along with a lifestyle that will aid us in tapping into our "open-minded" side. This week in your running, choose at least one run that will bring you to a new place. Get lost and enjoy it! Also, do something different from what you normally do. For example, if you are a fan of Impressionist painting, go to a modern art exhibit and see what it offers you intellectually and emotionally. Tell your family and friends this is part of your adventure racing training!
