Blink 182 and Kardashian star wants to run a marathon
The drummer of Blink 182, Travis Barker, has found a new passion and has lofty goals for the year ahead. On New Year’s Eve, the 48-year-old completed his first half-marathon in Santa Monica, Calif., and now he has his eyes set on 42.2 km at the 2024 Los Angeles Marathon on March 17.
Barker finished the half-marathon in 2:08:57, averaging a pace of six minutes and seven seconds per kilometre and placing 32nd overall out of 59 runners. Barker had family and friends at the race to cheer him on for his debut, including his wife, reality TV and fashion megastar Kourtney Kardashian.
Kardashian was seen sporting Barker’s finisher medal afterward. His first half-marathon capped off a big year for Barker. In November, the couple had their first child together, Rocky Thirteen.
“Ending 2023 with a bang,” the drummer captioned his post on Instagram. When asked about his next race, Barker revealed his plans to run the LA Marathon.
Barker’s training for the half did not go smoothly. The drummer said he had to halt his training due to an iliopsoas tendon strain a few weeks before the race. He posted that he knows the marathon won’t be easy, but he trusts the guidance he’s received from Stanford neuroscience professor Andrew Huberman and human performance professor Andy Galpin.
Now that the Kardashians are attending races and Taylor Swift is doing fartlek workouts has our sport officially reached its peak?
