Diaz humorously explained that she ran across ten fields in heels while wearing a Valentino cashmere wool trench coat, a cashmere sweater, jeans, and high-heeled boots. She estimated that she ran about seven miles a day through mud and hills, joking that she became “so fit” by the end of the week. Diaz found it amusing how a short script description turned into a lengthy two-week shoot.
