Running

As an avid RunDisney participant, I got the meet Jeff Galloway a couple times. Loved seeing him out on the course, cheering for everyone. Really sad that he won't be at future events. But what a legacy to leave, all the people he's encouraged to be runners.

Runners have squeezed in miles in some strange places — parking garages, hotel hallways, airport terminals before a gate change. But Dom Stroh, founder of the travel-run community RETREATURE, has taken it further than most would dare, or frankly consider: he ran a 5K inside an airplane bathroom at 35,000 feet.

The video, posted to Instagram with the caption “MILES high club,” shows Stroh setting up a camera in the corner of the lavatory, flashing his Strava watch to start the timer, then looping around the tiny space — stepping up onto the toilet seat and circling repeatedly — until he hit 5.53 kilometers. The flight was roughly 11 hours long. His finishing time: 59 minutes and 32 seconds, at a 10:46 per kilometer pace.

For many marathon runners, even the most experienced, the road to peak performance is pockmarked by too many hydration questions. How much do I have to drink over 26.2 miles? And how about carbs and sodium?

Hey everyone, my friend is tackling 13.1 miles for the National Kidney Federation. Requesting support. If any kind soul here has a spare $2, $5 or $10 to cheer her on, here’s the link - https://www.justgiving.com/page/jinal-sarvaiya-1

No pressure, just sharing the love!

Thank you!
