I think since Nick is always talking about trying to be a all around athlete he should do a Murph challenge. 1 mile, 100 pull-ups, 200 pushups, 300 squats, and finish off with a mile. It was named after a fallen Navy Seal.

Bit of a crazy idea for a race; A race where no one but the timer knows the number of laps. He rolls a dice before the race, and that + 1 is the number of laps. He only gives a warning on the last lap. Should be very interesting tactically.

I played laser tag with my step nephew at a park and probably ran a total of 200m backwards and my hips were sore for a couple of days. I can't even imagine doing a mile backwards, and with no breaks. I mean, I can imagine completing it once the adrenaline sets it, but I can't imagine how horrible it must be afterward if about 200m with breaks was this bad
