Last weekend, a team competition with the motivating title “Become a Man” was held for the fifth time in Moscow’s Kolomenskoye Park. Despite the almost constant rain, about 800 teams gathered to test their strength and team spirit. Among them was the RG team, for which it was already the fourth participation in the race.
This time the distance was much longer - 10 km, 12 obstacles, and the tests were more difficult. The participants again met with the tractor tires they “loved” during one of the previous races (tyre weight - 280 kg), again did burpees, stood in a plank, squatted, pulled themselves up and walked “like a bear”. A new test was the “handslide”, when each team member had to overcome high and then low bars on his hands, as well as the “caterpillar”, when the entire team had to move inside a plastic tape.
It is worth noting that the route was not only difficult, but also beautiful. Perhaps it was the picturesque views and vast expanses of Kolomenskoye that motivated the organizers to make the distance so long. A sea of tulips and blooming lilacs, green lawns and endless alleys, ponds and streams - all this became the bright surroundings of the "Become a Man-5" race.
Direct speech
Renat Zakiev, member of the RG team:
The event turned out to be unique. The best of the "Become Human" series in which I took part. Firstly, it was the day when sun and rain, heat and piercing wind came together. Secondly, the venue. Everyone loves Kolomenskoye Park, and for good reason. For me it opened up from a new side. The race along the embankment in front of surprised strolling families and couples, who immediately began to cheer the team on. Exercises in green meadows, with stunning views of Alexei Mikhailovich’s palace and the Moscow River. A descent along narrow paths to a spring hidden from prying eyes and a sharp rise up the mountain. The mood is high, despite the fatigue from the tasks. Thirdly, the exercises themselves are obstacles. It's difficult, but ultimately incredibly interesting. And jumping with tied legs, and rolling a 280-kilogram tire, and running like a bear, and team squats back to back - at first you curse, whose fevered brain came up with this, however, when you still cope with all this and run on , you understand that you and your colleagues are still capable of much.
Ruslan Grudtsinov, member of the RG team:
This is my fourth time participating in the “Become a Human” race and I can say with confidence that the competition in Kolomenskoye has become the most difficult and memorable for me. I was very pleased with the picturesque route - river, green trees, architectural monuments. This time there were more tests, instead of the traditional ten there were 12. The distance also increased and reached seven kilometers. The hardest task for me was the command lifting of a 280-kilogram rubber tire.
On May 26 and 27, a new stage of an exciting series of races with challenges will take place in Moscow as part of the Reebok fitness festival. Become human." Traditionally, the central part of the event will be an exciting obstacle course. Participants in the team start will face a completely unpredictable course and tests of endurance, strength, agility and teamwork.
The list of tests is traditionally kept secret and becomes known only on the eve of the competition.
But before you challenge yourself and test the strength of your team, learn 5 life hacks from a fitness guru Valeria Guznenkova.
On the eve of the festival, we met with Lera in the space The Base in Krylatskoye in order to find out what will help you cover the distance of the race on the rise and what exercises to include in your warm-up if there are only a couple of days left before the start. Although we sincerely believe that you, our dear readers, did not put off your preparation and will go to the start line at the peak of your form.
Lifehack 1. Improve your stamina
Valeria Guzenkova: In order to go the distance with a smile, you need stamina. It is important to understand that the gym is not so effective in terms of developing this quality, especially when compared with regular functional training on the street. So while you still have the opportunity, do at least one workout outside the room.
Lifehack 2. Alternate exercises and running
Try alternating sets of exercises and running. In fact, this will be a small imitation of the start itself. In addition, returning to point 1, this will help greatly improve your stamina. If you want to develop this indicator in the future, try this training format: running - exercises - running - exercises and so on.
Life hack 3. Distribute your forces
In my last team at the start there were people who trained only in the gym and there were people who just ran. Accordingly, those who run forward try to drag everyone on themselves, the entire rope that the team is holding on to. Accordingly, by the time of the exercises, they are incredibly tired, not because they were running, but because they were running and dragging the whole team behind them.
Lifehack 4. Work as a team
Try to keep the general pace. Ideally, you should all practice together at least once before the start of the competition, because then you will at least have an idea of what each member of the team is ready for.
My team and I have been planning (laughs) to train together for two weeks now.
Life hack 5. Choose comfortable sneakers
Sneakers are the most important piece of equipment! The weather is completely unpredictable and if the rain catches you by surprise mid-race while you're wearing gym shoes, things will start to slide. This is very dangerous and can cause serious injury. For a race, you need to choose running shoes with good tread.
Tomorrow we will show you 3 sets of exercises that you can include in your warm-up or do as preparation the day before the race. Do not miss!
