Running and exercise outside, basic training, puts us in touch with our primal selves. What would this mornings workout look like 300 years ago? We ran 3 miles and performed 800 repetitions of various lower body exercises. Its all body weight exercise. No machines, no facility, no pounding music.
In another 300 years, the workout will still look the same. Basic training has been passed down through the ages and will continue to be a fitness discipline utilized by soldiers, athletes and regular folks getting in shape.
As flesh and blood bipods with advanced cooling systems, it is in our nature to traverse the earth paced double time in persuit, in the way back old days, of food. This was done in packs.
Today, we are like minded individuals seeking fitness for various reasons. Whether for fitness or for food, its the same thing. A group of people go out in the world in a pack and work together.
Racing takes primal to the next level. The game of chase is the oldest game on earth. Pouncing at the exact right moment for the win(kill) takes us to the hunt/hunted that lies deep within us all.
