Man brags he could run a marathon on 24 hour notice with no training and proves it

A woman signed her husband up for a marathon with 24 hours notice after he bragged he could complete 26.2 miles without any training. Maisie Todd, 31, put her husband Logan’s name down for the Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon in San Diego on May 31 after he “kept bringing up” how he could finish the course with no training. Surprising him 24 hours before the big day on June 1, 2025, Logan, 32, prepped by eating peanut butter sandwiches, stretching and drinking lots of water. He went on to finish in an impressive time of five hours 58 minutes – running the first 10 miles without a break – with supportive Maisie posting regular updates of the whole experience on social media. Logan, a software engineer, from San Diego, California, US, said: “Being woken up at 6am on a Saturday [with the surprise] didn’t feel good. “It was also exciting because I talk a big game, and it was time to put my money where my mouth was. “Running is definitely not a passion. “I did sports in high school but ever since I graduated, I haven’t been very active. “I started running and jogging and did that for about 10 miles and felt surprisingly good about it the whole time. “I ran into a bunch of people that had seen me on TikTok the day before, and they cheered me on. “I knew I was going to finish so it just became a mind game of how I was going to get there.”Maisie planned the surprise in April after talking with friends about signing Logan up for one out of the blue. Using her sister Sadie Todd’s, 27, computer, she applied on Logan’s behalf. “One of his stipulations was he had to be given 24 hours’ notice and then he could complete it,” she said. “I kind of kept it a secret between my sister and I.” Stay up on the very latest with Evening Update.Please provide a valid email address.
