What is the "Running Pyramid"?
The Running Pyramid is one of the few endurance games that allows children to exercise in the crucial aerobic zone for an extended period. It combines tactical thinking with intense physical activity.
Rounds
Mark out the running course with cones.
Outdoors: Approximately a 120m loop for a 6-row pyramid.
Indoors: Largest possible loop for a 7-row pyramid.
Teams
Teams are formed, ideally playing in pairs.
How it Works
The goal is to cross off all the boxes in the pyramid.
The team coordinates their strategy, deciding who will cover which boxes.
The number of boxes determines the number of laps to run.
Laps are run consecutively, then crossed off, and then partners switch.
Individually planned breaks allow for effective interval training.
Variation
Dice Game: The number rolled corresponds to the number of laps to run.
Both partners run simultaneously, with short breaks only for rolling the dice.
