I am the kind of person who doesn't care that much for reality TV, which sets me apart from most people I know. Don't get me wrong; I understand that there is an audience for this kind of material and I see why so many people are engaged in it. However, unless there are physical challenges put into place, my attention is not going to be held for very long. I think that, amongst all of the levels of competition to be seen, adventure racing is my favorite.
Reality TV, despite its name, is not going to be the genre that is viewed as entirely "real." I have come to terms with this, knowing that practically every show out there is going to have men and women behind the scenes, many of them dictating what occurs on camera. Even though I realize this to be true, there are still those episodes that I cannot help but watch, no matter how silly they may seem. However, there should be competition onscreen or else I may not watch for long.
I don't know if it would be outside of the realm of thought for these individuals to go about training in some way. After all, it is very easy for individuals who have not been athletically active to go out to compete and become short of breath rather easily. They may not understand the importance of pacing, which can result in fewer strong results in the long term. You have to be able to conserve what you have or else you are only going to do yourself a great disservice.
Does this necessarily mean that they should go out and compete in events like Spartan Race beforehand? I do not know if individuals have to go that far but it's apparent that reality TV shows have to be in some kind of physical condition before becoming involved in such events. Perhaps training within adventure racing can be done in smaller steps. This can be conducted without having to go about strenuous physical exertion as well, meaning that injury will be less likely to occur in the long term.
For those who are focused on adventure racing, I think that there should be more effort put forth in this regard. To me, there is so much to consider when it comes to this level of racing, whether you are talking about actual competitions on reality TV. As I have said before, this particular genre is not one that I consider myself to be a fan of. However, I understand that there is a sense of appeal to it and even I find myself somewhat entertained by the actions depicted.
