Description:
Have
the entire class start running counterclockwise in a circle around the track or
gym. Designate one runner as the lead
runner and one as the back runner. Start
the class running. On command, the back
runner picks up the pace and weaves past the runners in front. As the back runner passes or goes around a
person, the passed person is to follow.
All subsequent runners are to do the same thing. Once the back runner
passes the lead runner, he is to slow the pace back to an easy run so that the
new back runner can pick up the pace and weave through the group, repeating the
cycle. When all runners are back to
their original spot, the mania run is over.
