Make running fun by adding in obstacles, doing some hashing or being chased by a zombie!

Gillian Russell and the Personal Best team look at ways to make running more interesting, including adding obstacles, doing some hashing or being chased by a zombie.

If you don't run because you find it boring or you are a runner but just want to make it a bit more interesting, why not let Gillian Russell and the Personal Best team inspire you to inject some fun into a run?!

Runner and event organiser David Gaffney talks about the appeal of running in Scotland's first Total Warrior, a 12k race featuring 30 obstacles ... while fitness instructor Kieron Ross gets Gillian to try out a few of the obstacles on a training day at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh.

Having battled and beaten breast cancer, Clare Smith reveals her motivation for taking part in Total Warrior and talks about her attitude to exercise both before and after diagnosis.

Scott Currie from the Get Inspired team attempts some running with added interest as he gets put through his paces on a hashing run in Elgin.

Blogger and keen runner Laura Fountain suggests ways to make running more interesting and talks about the apps that create a bit of intrigue on your run - how fast would you go if you were being chased by a "zombie"?!
