So You're a Fugitive From Justice, Tuesday, 3rd Period
The class may have gotten the impression that something was up when Zayne sent a message to meet in the gym and wear old - but not necessarily workout - clothes. When they arrived, they would find the track with hurdles, chairs, and garbage cans filled with soft debris scattered around.
"Glad you could make it, everyone," he said with a grin. "As you might imagine, part of living life on the run is, on occasion, running. And you're not going to get ideal conditions for it, either, which is why you're in regular clothes and there's debris all over the track."
"I'm going to ask you to do at least three laps, more if you want. First a warm up lap to get a feel for where everything is in the name of safety and planning. Then a lap were someone's chasing you. Finally, a lap where you're chasing someone else. The goals are simple. Do a full lap without being tagged with two hands. Or, when you're trying to catch the other person, do so before they cross the finish line. You don't have to run straight. Feel free to run off into a slant to go over or barrel through an obstacle to slow your pursuer down."
"A few rules. The runners will get a 10 second head start. Except for the Jedi. I want to see what they can do with only a couple seconds. Sorry, guys," Zayne said. "It's two-hand touch. The pursuer needs to get both hands on the runner to count them as being caught. And you have to stay on the track, completing one full lap. And no fighting. If you push, punch, or do anything else of the sort, you lose."
"For this kind of class, I can only give a couple tips. First, get familiar with your surroundings as quickly as possible. Try to think at least one move ahead of what you're doing, but don't let the planning keep you from knowing what's going on around you. Go ahead and use your environment. And remember: no matter what the odds look like, your pursuer has to react to you. Even if they're good at trying to herd you, all they have to work with is what you give them."
"Good luck and have some fun."
