Can you run a mile in four and a half minutes? For top-end runners in modern times, that’s achievable. What makes Ruben Sança’s dash record-breaking is that he did so while pushing his own son in a stroller.
Sança has unofficially clenched a Guinness World Record for pushing a child in a stroller during a mile-long run. Runners’ World reports that he accomplished this feat Newburyport, Massachusetts on August 7, 2022. With a time of 4:32, the pair broke through the previous record of 4:42.
Sança ran with a careful stride: he kept his right hand on the stroller, pumped with his left, and stood slightly off center so that his right foot landed between the wheels of the stroller. You can watch a video of his run here.
