In the last few hours, one of the most viewed videos on the internet of the last decade has gone viral again: the challenge”run the tube” in which a runner gets off a subway, runs to the next station and takes the same formation.
In the clip you can see, on a split screen, how the subway progresses while the athlete runs through the streets trying to reach the next stop in time. This was achieved due to the fact that the man left a camera on the subway and put another on his head.
“This runner got off a train, ran to the next stop and got back on the same train,” he wrote. Vala Afsharthe man who shared it again on Twitter.
Five years ago, in 2017, Pepo Jimenez he had tweeted it along with the caption: “Some London Underground stations are short…so short it takes less time to run (but you need to be fit)…”.
The original video was published in 2014 on the “Epic Challenges” YouTube channel, a social network where today it accumulates more than 7 million views. In any case, where it has gone best is on Twitter: Jiménez’s tweet has exceeded the 31 million views.
It all happened on the London Underground. The runner got off at Mansion House and went up Cannon Street. When he entered (he has a few seconds to spare), many passengers cheered because they were waiting for him inside with the expectation that he would perform the feat or not.
In the YouTube comments they highlighted something that is a little confusing when watching the video: Does the man pay or not pay the ticket?
For a user named Nathan it does. “Respect as he actually paid instead of jumping the front doors,” he wrote, earning the endorsement of internet users with more than 25 likes.

The engineer Sergei Gordieev He is an expert at fixing things. His 12 million subscribers on YouTube are a guarantee. But he is not just any inventor. The success of his videos has to do with his signature trait, a twisted trademark.
Gordieev makes the easy difficult. It stands out for working perfectly using unconventional methods. Unimaginable indeed. You can make both the world’s largest deli knife and a cardboard soda machine.
This year his name caused a sensation because a video taken from his channel The Q in which he presents his new challenge went viral: a bicycle never seen before made up of a full wheel and two half wheels.
The front wheel of Gordieev’s vehicle is common, but the rear wheel is split in two. As if it were a mathematical challenge, the engineer verified that 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 also holds for the universe of bicycles.
The inventor used tubes and rivets to rotate the two halves of the rear wheel as if they were one and, most surprisingly, he didn’t have to use air to achieve this.
Although Gordieev sold his work as a possible “solution” to destroying a bicycle wheel, it is clear that he did what he did purely as a hobby.
“Would you agree?” she challenged on Instagram.
