The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Athletics
1 of 6: Once you get your Athletics skill to 70, talk to Hauls-Ropes-Faster in Anvil or Honditar in Chorrol about "Training" to be referred to Rusia Bradus.
2 of 6: She'll probably be in Silgor Bradus' house, and you may need to break in if the front door is locked. (But first make sure she's in there by making "Athletics Training" the active quest and checking the local map for quest arrows.)
3 of 6: When you ask her about training, she may tell you that you need to do more exploring and discover more new places.
4 of 6: If she does, it means that you need to explore around the outdoor areas and discover more mines, caves, ruins, camps, etc. until you've found at least 30 in all. (Note that you don't need to enter any of those places -- just get official "world map" credit for finding them.)
5 of 6: You can keep track of your total by going to your "accomplishments" list (the rightmost page of your stats menu) and checking the "Places Found" field.
6 of 6: After it's 30 or more, return to Rusia for your advanced training.
