The art of joggling

Joggling is (yes, you guessed it) the art of running whilst keeping three balls up in the air. Given enough practice, the experts can joggle with only a 10% decrease in their running speed.

In particular, the marathon record is a very impressive 2:52 currently held by American Zach Warren. Over the past few years the record has gone back and forward between himself and Canadian Michael Kapral - including a meeting at the Boston Marathon where Warren set the record with 2:58, the first sub-3 joggling marathon. They recently ran together in Salt Lake City on April 21st, with Kapral coming in as 2:53 and Warren at 2:57. Over the years this record has passed through quite a few hands, including those of Ashrita Furman, the current holder of the most Guinness World Records, who held the record for 12 years.

New joggling marathon record

Hi Shane,

I got the joggling marathon record back on September 30, 2007. I joggled a 2:50:09 at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, with two drops.

Zach Warren is working overseas for a couple of years, but is already planning for another attempt in 2010.
