WIZ KHALIFA has added another hobby to his ever-growing list of pursuits – running. Recently, the 38-year-old rapper shared an Instagram post with the simple caption “Started running recently and I love it”.
Khalifa has sporadically shared his workouts in the past, but he hasn’t taken an interest in running until now. He posted a 8km time of 45:36 on August 2nd, joking in the caption: “I ripped a bong then ripped 5 miles.” A few days later, he shared a 5km time of 31:51.
Those are respectable times for a beginner, but what’s impressive is how quickly he has progressed.
Khalifa has continued sharing his runs, and his 5km PB currently sits at 23:31. According to benchmark data from Running Level, that time would put him around the intermediate level for someone between the ages of 35 and 40. Although, it’s better than intermediate for someone over 40. So if he can hold onto that time (or improve it) over the next two years, he has a good chance of breaking into advanced territory.
Considering how quickly Khalifa has gone from beginner to intermediate, we expect that he’ll continue to improve. He also covered a massive 51km in total for the week of August 17-23, according to his Strava, so a marathon could be on the cards.
