A man has gone for what might just be the world’s strangest 5km run – inside his washing machine.
Jacob Cohen first started his bizarre hobby as a way of breaking through the noise of fitness-related videos – with a jog around a table in his flat.
Since then, the 28-year-old investment banker has run a marathon in the most peculiar of places including a bathtub, the boot of a car and even on top of a fridge.

“I wanted to make fitness fun.
“I do the runs that I do to provide entertainment – that’s it.”
