Travis Kelce vs Taylor Swift in a 5k

I’ll take “I REALLY don’t care” for 2000, Ken.

Definitely going with Taylor on this one.

I'd rather Kelce in my bed than see him run a 5k.

Very close. Both run 23 minutes but she wins.

They cross the finish line together holding hands.

I think Taylor would go out way too hard in maybe a 7:45 mile and end up walking the last mile with a side stitch and boatload of excuses on hydration and stomach issues etc.

Travis would be the gym bro that shows up with oversized Beats headphones and just kinda jogs around, maybe run 22:00 or so. 21:30 if he felt the need to kick it in hard the last mile.

Taylor Swift has run 3 hours on a treadmill. So I am willing to bet she would pound him when she is not pounding him.

As a bettor I'd keep it simple and go with the guy

The fact that you commented belies your comment.

Nice!

well apparently swifty is running 90 miles per week, so she can't be worse than 21 minutes.

This is good.

She'd not only crush Kelce in the mile through ultra, but a lot of the posters on this site as well.

After three-plus hours on the treadmill belting out every song on the Eras tour, I can tell you why Swift’s concert training regimen works

fml this must be a slow running-news week...

People actually believe these stories?

This is the content I come to LetsRun for.

Actually a good question. The details of Taylor's treadmill workouts might be exaggerated, but she's still doing way more aerobic training than Kelce, and she has a runner's build. On the other hand, Kelce is male and one of the best athletes in the world. I would lean towards Taylor in a 5k, but take Kelce in anything shorter.

It’s a common theme on LR that anyone can be decent at distance running, but a 250 pound Kelce would be a fish out water. He would walk/jog with a 50/50 chance of a DNF.

No way Taylor comes even close to beating Kelce. Assuming they both actually race it hard, he'd beat her by at least a minute if not much more.

He's a professional athlete, and even within the NFL he plays a position that requires a fair amount of stamina (i.e. he's not a 315lb offensive lineman).
