That Alice Cooper story is the most impressive of all I've seen so far. Also a really cool story.

Bob Seger literally was doing a lot of "Running Against the Wind" in HS.

Peter Garrett. Midnight Oil. A great musician turned politician, and a 4:04 miler. Not such a great dancer.

Mark Seymour of Hunters & Collectors ran 14:35 in the 70s

Apparently, when Eminem was getting off drugs, he was running 2x per day on the treadmill, totalling 17 miles. Not clear how long he kept this up.

Sting was a decent runner

remember an 800 I lead until passed with 120 to go. I ran around 2 mins. Sting ran his pb around 2.06

also remember he ran about 9.30 3k in Australia the afternoon of one of his concerts

Alex Van Halen's son, Aric, ran for Colorado around 2009 to 2013.

I think it was 2007 or so when my girlfriend at the time told me he was in a band and they were having a gig at some little place in Silver Lake. They were all over the radio pretty soon after.

Not rock stars. But i did hear that, very impressive. I heard it about Luke wasn't sure about Owen. Dana Carvey was some sort of decent runner in HS, also not a rock star though.

Liam Gallagher of Oasis runs quite a bit
