Chapter 3: Uphill, Both Ways

When Tuesday dawns, there’s a reason the fatties will fail first: because they can’t run. But the skinny kids will die with them if they can’t run either, which is why you need to build your tolerance now: in preparation for the Big Day. Always remember: Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance

Speed & Endurance

These are the only two things that matter in running. Coincidentally, they are also the only two things that matter when out-running [zombies/hunters/radioactive mutants/flashfloods, etc].

There is only one way to build speed and endurance in running: progressive workouts. If babies have taught us nothing else, it’s that most humans must learn to crawl before they can walk. Likewise, your out-of-shape, couch-potato self needs to learn to run before you can run fast.
