Treadmill cubing

[EmersonHerrmann]

I saw 2 threads that mentioned something like this, but none really said it specifically...anyone ever tried cubing at like a gym on a treadmill? I'll probably try it tomorrow lol

I do 5x5 usually while walking on a treadmill and watching TV. That's multitasking.

(Anyone insane thinking BLD or multi BLD on a treadmill?)

Derrick did 2x2 BLD on treadmill

What about 7x7 BLD treadmill?

How about the fastest 3x3-mile relay? So solve a 3x3 then run a mile or run a mile then solve a 3x3

I will see how good I could do probably tomorow

I think that I could get around 5:15-5:20

Lol I'd get like 7:10 haha

I'd do worse, but I'm working on it.

How about solving a cube while running a mile

I want to see a relay of running a mile and/while solving a 7x7. We know it can go sub-5, but just how close can anyone get?

what was I thinking?

I solve cubes when doing sit ups or when I'm on the elliptical. Works the mind and the body lol

How about simultaneously? That would make me nauseous lol

I did a 4x4 at 12 mph when I was sup-3 mins. It was hard to run that quick without using my arms.

Well, I personally think if you're going to do this, you should do it the following way:

Solve a cube, run a lap
Solve a cube, run a lap
Solve a cube, run a lap
Solve a cube, run a lap

The solving of the cube must take place between the Mile-Start line and the start of the lap, so that's about a 9 meter zone.

I think back when I was on the track team in college, I could have sub-6'ed this, but I never got around to trying it.

Inspiration is from http://www.beermile.com/

how about solving it while running hurdles?

 

[dChan]

Heh, I used to cube while on the treadmill but now I just leave exercise time for exercise.

 

[Pyro-Dude]

I would really love to do a solve while doing backflips in a row on a trampoline or something, but I'm not yet good enough at them to be that confident .

One day...

Here's something interesting to ponder:

Do high jumps while cubing...
Do gymnastics while cubing...

Perform kickboxing stunts while cubing...
Eat an entire meal, while running on a treadmill, and doing OH solves (10 of them before you finish your walking/eating).

hey, i just did that yesterday! and now i saw this thread....

anyone tried OH when doing dumbells? it actually have no effect on your time

Mile run + real man's average of 5
8:16 at the pace of about 70s per cube.
Today was too windy and I'm out of shape.
Sub-7 should be possible after some more practice...

70 seconds? You scrambled for 50 seconds each time? (And you ran a sub-3-minute mile? Unless you did them at the same time.)


Someone should do a real man's mile. You have to time scrambling and inspection too.
