Inspired by memories of 'Round the House' chess, and a recent discovery (via IA Alana Chibnall), that you can play chess while working out on gym equipment, a kind if cross-fit chess.
Set up against another gym buddy, or an bot, you gain extra time by running extra distances. eg For every 100 metres, you get 10s added to you clock. So a 5 minute game between 2 very fit players may see an extra 120s added if both players cover 1200m (NB you can run when both you and your opponent are on the move). The challenge is to maintain a fast enough pace to gain time, while not exhausting yourself, and losing the ability to think. As an extra incentive/challenge the result of the game determines the level of resistance/gradient on the treadmill for the next time around.
