According to Gyllenhaal, the whole thing began when he suggested to Tom that they should work out together. While it began as a fun idea, their enthusiasm quickly turned into regret as their exercise session left Gyllenhaal feeling physically exhausted.

Holland admitted, “I have to be honest, I didn’t wanna go,” he said. “Because Jake Gyllenhaal’s ripped, right? And I’m really competitive… So we start working out, we’re doing ab exercises and leg exercises, and then he turns to me and he goes ‘Tom, do you want to hop on the treadmill and warm up?’ I’m like, warm up? I’m roasting, mate, I’m finished!”

But the treadmill challenge was just the start. When Gyllenhaal suggested they run a mile as a warm-up, Holland, determined not to give in, suggested running two miles instead.

As they began running, Holland faced the unspoken gym rule: “You can’t run slower than the guy next to you.” He pushed himself to keep up with Gyllenhaal, even though he soon regretted it.
