- A man burns an average of 102 calories per kilometer when running; a woman, only 89. For those who can’t overcome their inner couch potato and go running on cold winter days, there are also plenty of ways to keep fit around the home. A man can burn 300 calories by doing an hour of housework, for example, while a woman will burn 240.
- When astronaut Mikhail Tyurin teed off from the International Space Station (ISS) in 2006, his golf ball circled the earth 48 times. That’s not just the world record, but the galactic record as well! Astronaut Tim Peake also used the ISS for a world record attempt. During the 2016 London Marathon, he ran his own personal marathon on a treadmill – making him the fastest marathon runner in space. His time? 3:35:51.
