Well, that's not the approach I use. When 'character
development' is simulated by the 'let X do something un-Xlike'
method, it's not terribly reliable. I prefer the 'everything
introduced in the first X minutes is explained in the last X
minutes' methodology. If they mention widget X, discover
anomaly Y, and if character Z gets most of the
between-commercial-block-one-and-commercial-block-two screen
time, then it must be Ensign Mustard, in the Jeffries tube...
you get the idea. :)

More as a test of the brave's breath control while running, than
as any endurance-enhancing gimmick. A squad (platoon? pack?
gaggle?) of younguns was given a mouthful of water, and a course
to run. They were expected to spit the water out at the end of
the course.
To keep us on topic, would such a feat be part of the Running
skill? :)
