This guy was flyin’ before he even got on the plane.
A traveler inside Dublin Airport claims he spotted a person getting a full-on workout in before departure.
“While down on the gate, I noticed a person in full running gear (tshirt, shorts, runners), running laps up and down the complete length of the terminal passing in between passenger’s and their luggage while waiting to board their flights,” the supposed spectator, known on Reddit as Garychamp, posted to the location last week.
“The airport was also busy on the time so there was quite numerous people about. The guy was sweating profusely while running — he was doing a major variety of laps around the world.”
Naturally, Garychamp had some questions before leaving the emerald isle.
“Has anyone else seen this before? Was the guy going to shower before getting within the flight? Imagine being stuck beside him for six+ hrs on a flight!” he exclaimed.
The Reddit user added that the mysterious running man powered on for at the very least half an hour.
“Imagining this dude just [stenching up] a middle seat after running 26 miles,” one user commented.
“Just yesterday in Doha Qatar I saw a lady in full running gear doing laps of the (admittedly massive) terminal and wondered what on earth was occurring!!” added one other.
Airport running appears to be taking off as a worldwide trend — fitness enthusiasts who use workout apps akin to Strava are posting routes inside terminals.
One for the Dublin Airport — perhaps an evidence for the recent startling spectacle — spans a few fifth of a mile and has been attempted by greater than a dozen travelers.
A user named Len K holds the perfect recorded time for the stint, at 1 minute and 24 seconds.
Earlier this yr, Strava went viral for a micro-sprint route within the Denver Airport called “gate change gnar.”
For its part, Tokyo’s Narita International Airport opened a terminal designed like a running track in 2015, while the “cardio trail” on the BWI Marshall Airport near Baltimore consists of two loops within the terminal which might be designated American Heart Association walking paths.
