About Me
- The Joggler
- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- Michal "The Joggler" Kapral is a competitor in the fringe sport of joggling, the combination of running and juggling. After reading about the sport of joggling in the Guinness Book of World Records in the 1980s, Michal had dreams of one day becoming the world's fastest joggler. His dreams came true in 2005, when he ran the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon while juggling three red Exerballs every step of the way in a world record time of 3 hours, 7 minutes. He and American joggler rival (and friend) Zach Warren have battled back and forth for the record, including head-to-head joggling duels in the Boston Marathon (2006) and the Salt Lake City Marathon (2007). Michal is the current world record holder for the joggling marathon, with a time of 2:50:12, set at the 2007 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon using Sport Juggling Co. beanbags. He joggled the whole race while chewing gum. Kapral holds the 10K joggling world record of 36 minutes and 27 seconds. The Joggler can be reached at joggler1@gmail.com.
