I sometimes get tired of telling people what to do. I know. I know. Crazy, right?

The thing is, coaching a group of adults isn’t like coaching a group of kids. Kids just do what you say. The adults hold you, on some level, responsible for their experience. Sure, they’ve shown up to a thing called Suffer Club, but that doesn’t mean they don’t resent you when you make them do the actual suffering.

So sometimes I like to create workout that removes me from the equation, albeit in an artificial way, because I’m still designing the workout. On these days, I add a randomizing element and put some of the onus back on the Sufferers.

And thus, the Dice of Destiny. Six workout blocks, and each Sufferer roll a die for themselves. Whatever you roll, you do. I’m not making you. It’s your roll, and your luck. Every time you finish a block, you come back to roll a new one.

Water Tower- Our water tower is a half-mile out and back run up a steep hill. You can do your own half-mile, or you can do a hill run, or whatever you can figure out. Suffer Clubbers all groan when they see the Water Tower on the board. They mostly hate it. Because it’s hard.
