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.

“The fitness online content got way too saturated with people giving really serious advice, which is great, but it almost deterred people from entering the fitness community with all the rules about macros, mindset and everything else,” ” Jacob told What’s The Jam.

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