Are you impressed with a 2:55 marathon while juggling?

it's called joggling, moron

It's impressive, but more so on the juggling side. I bet if some elite runner could juggle really well, they would run in the 2:20s. Does anybody know this guy's prs without juggling.

Holy Shite! The CEO of USA Track and Field is 'stealing' millions from our athletes and this is what we're talking about???

As a runner and a person who can juggle, I find it quite impressive.

The London Marathon called. They want their circus act back.

Completely unimpressed, just some avg runner tryna get attention doing something absolutely pointless

Which was the absolutely pointless part -- running or juggling?

The Rubik's Cube + marathon combo has been done. Not sure about the others -- you may still have the pleasure of looking forward to those feats.

The juggling , the question was "Are you impressed with a 2:55 marathon while juggling?".

I can't juggle so I don't know if I would be impressed while juggling. Since I am not impressed at a 255 marathon in general, I doubt I would be impressed while I am juggling. I am jealous of jugglers though as I just ran a race in a costume and the newspaper put a picture of him in the paper instead of me. I did get my name mentioned though so that was nice.

2:30:XX about 15 years ago.

Did you guys see that article on the front page? The dude didn't drop a ball once. For me, that makes it all the more impressive.

I got passed by the Joggler at Chicago a few years ago. While it is a novelty act, it is nonetheless an impressive one. He does not take any fluids or gels. He keeps a solid pace while juggling. Probably a low 2:40 guy without juggling.

This is actually more impressive than 2:02:57

^ very much like this post

Setting a world-record is pointless, yeah, right.

He's also 44 years old. So yeah, I am impressed with a 2:55 joggler. In fact, his joggling record is 5 minutes faster.

I'd rank it just behind the Appalachian Trail FKT in terms of impressiveness.

Maybe now but as noted he's a 2:30 guy.
