By 2017 the world economy has collapsed. Food, natural resources and oil are in short supply. A police state, divided into paramilitary zones, rules with an iron hand. Television is controlled by the state and a sadistic gameshow called "The Running Man" has become the most popular program in history. No dissent is tolerated and yet a small resistance movement has managed to survive underground..... IT'S TIME TO START RUNNING! I have a half marathon in 10 weeks, so I'm currently two weeks into a half marathon training plan. The plan has me running 4-5 times a week, which is taking some getting used to. So I'm gamifying this challenge, and what better theme for a running challenge than the ultimate 80's Arnie movie (this challenge suddenly feels very @DJtrippyT-esque). Game Rules Each of my goals has a points value. Every week, I'll face off against a different stalker in the Running Man area and my fate will depend on how many points I've earned during the week Points allocation: Running = 5 points Lifting & Climbing = 3 points each Grip, Core, Domestic Rangering, Self Care = 2 points each 28+ points: Kill the stalker and escape the game zone unharmed 20-27 points: Injure the stalker and escape the game zone but sustain an minor injury in the process 10-19 points: Get injured by the stalker but narrowly escape the game zone 0-9 points: Get killed by the Stalker. Game Over! The points are stacked in favor of running so missing even one run a week will result in a poorer result in the area. If I get killed by the stalker, I can respawn once but if I die again it's game over! The game will start when the challenge begins.
