Don’t Have Time to Run? Try the 100-Up Technique

In this video, Christopher McDougall (author of Born to Run) demonstrates a running training technique invented in 1874 by W.S. George, a 16-year-old chemist’s apprentice in England who could train only during his lunch hour.

After two years of doing 100-Ups, he was the fastest amateur miler in England. After 5 years of doing them, he held world records at distances from the half-mile to 10 miles.
