You are planning a 5-day intensive SEAMC training camp. Each day, the team either practises running for Lightning, practises math, or engages in recreational activities.

In how many ways can this training camp be planned?
It's not necessary for all activities to be covered. A camp could have only running and recreation, and no math.
