VIDEO: The only thing worse than running on a treadmill is running on Lego
A YouTube group proved that there is something worse than running on a treadmill: Running barefoot on a treadmill with Lego blocks.
Runners who are not big fans of treadmill running know the pains of having to resort to using the belted machine. These YouTubers found out first hand an even more painful version of treadmill running: The Lego treadmill challenge.
If you’ve ever stepped on a piece of Lego around the house, you’ll know it’s not a great feeling. In this video, two men took turns running on a treadmill while two others poured blocks of Lego on the machine. The end result is cringeworthy.
“We thought it would be a great idea to take off our socks and go for a run on Lego,” says the creators. “We are not the most sporty people in the world but we thought it would be super fun (for you) to run on the treadmill as another member chucks Lego under our bare feet.”
