In our previous post we looked a bit on exercising endurance and speed well; before starting to include some parkour to the training.
These are all good options to keep the body in good shape. The next think we should start looking at are exercises that could be done in darkness.
In these elements we should also start use elements as trying to move silently, and to move unseen. Many believe the best color for dressing is black; but they are wrong; black can easily be seen in darkness. You should instead focus on a dark reddish color, or a dark bluish color to better avoid being seen. You could also think about using some shoes that give little sounds when hitting the ground; these are often more uncomfortable than other normal running shoes.
If you look around on the internet you might also find ninja shoes; I haven’t tried those yet; but they might be efficient to cover sound; and still be somehow silent.
The exercise you are going to do is relatively simple; you should find a target; it might be a local shop or somewhere close to where you live. During daytime you should familiarize yourself of where you are going to run, what obstacles you might find during the track, and of course; to look find out where there are security cameras. Remember; you are going to get there unnoticed by anyone; including any cameras.
To make it a bit more difficult for yourself you could look for a target that is a bit more unknown for you; maybe a location in different direction of where you normally go. You might even use Google earth to find the target close by for you.
After learning and studying the path you are going to take (you might even include parkour, but this might be hard since you should ideally be moving in darkness and being completely unnoticed). The first targets might be fairly simple to reach; and increasing the difficulties as you is getting better at moving silently through the night. And please keep in mind to avoid light sources to better be covered by the darkness of the night.
When you get to the target you leave some kind of mark; maybe a sticker or some kind of yellow note it; the point it to leave something there (keep in mind tagging and other illegal ways of marking the target should not be used).
