Dudes run marathons while juggling. That’s weirder.

Pedestrian runners wearing $200+ shoes, that's crazy.
Taking 4 hours to finish. That’s odd and honestly more damaging to your long term health.

-75% of the elite field dropping out, 2018 Boston
I don't think any of those things are as weird as what Ian Butler did.
Obviously because he thought it was an out-back course, until he saw the guys running towards him...duh

Wow, yes you are 100% correct. Okay, so THAT is the weirdest thing letsrun has seen in a marathon.
Jones did that en route to winning the London marathon, total badass move.
We sure he wasn't pacing team mates?

Agreed. But I think Ghost's link on the first page explains it...

And Stephanie Bruce pooped herself at Chicago Marathon

Title of thread misleading. At no point did I see anyone actually running backwards like people on Planet Fitness treadmills.
You should watch one of the Nick Symmonds YouTube video where he ran mile backwards. Is this what happened?

Ahh, I missed that, yes that does likely explain it. It's a good story.

Yup, all of these. Bait title.
I'm unclear whether Butler is still our blue collar hero, or not?

You can’t poop without also peeing. You either just pee or you poopee. Next time you’re on the pot, try to not pee and report back.

That wasn't weird. The weather was absolute trash, there were no good times to be had, and the elites did the bare minimum to get their appearance fees. It was SNOWING SIDEWAYS a couple miles into the race.

Yes. He's a 2:09 American. Had a bad day today and ran 2:20:01. We meant to start a thread on this. I added: This is the weirdest thing we've EVER seen to the title.
Butler still beat Parker Stinson.

In a race you do not want to lose water when unnecessary and become dehydrated. The best of the best have gone through my Total Body Control™® classes, and mastered the fine art of the poop and/or pee.
In 2001 at Chicago, winner and pacesetter Ben Kimondiu ran in place while waiting for Paul Tergats group. It was very weird.
