Tom Cruise is known for a few things over the last thirty years in the public eye. Some of those things we can even openly discuss without getting sued by his legal team. One of those being the Larry Macon-like number of running scenes Cruise has had in his films.

The creator of the Tom Cruise running compilation above claims that Cruise has had a running scene in 75% of his films.

It shows all of Tom’s running from his movies over the course of his career up until 2011 (when the video was created).

Tom appears to be a hard-nosed sprinter with too much arm action and and a cocked back neck which could cause such too far back (like someone else I know during a marathon).

He runs almost as if he’s running from a bomb, crooked lawyers, or terrorists.

Best way to describe Cruise’s form: Usain Bolt in a 5’7″ white man’s body at 1/3rd the speed!

Cruise might have the most memorable brief case run that took place in The Firm.

Just moments ago Kenya’s Wilson Kipsang set a brand new World Record (WR) for the marathon at the Berlin Marathon with a time of 2:03:23.

Kipsang’s time beat the previous World Record set by Patrick Makau two years ago at the Berlin Marathon.

It’s the 9th time a World Record has been set at the Berlin Marathon.

Second place went to Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge in 2:04:05 with third place going to Kenya’s Geoffrey Kipsang in 2:06:26.

Congrats to Wilson. Way to Run It Fast in blazing a new World Record.
