Daniel and Athleticism

Surpringly, Daniel Larson has undertaken several athletic pastimes, and is (mostly) surprisingly decent at many of them. This list cannot possibly document everything he has been involved in, but can discuss some of what has been posted online.

Bowling

As discussed in another article here, Daniel is actually quite good at bowling. It is unclear where he learned to do this, but he consistently gets strikes and scores high compared to the people he is around. A few videos of him bowling can be found online.

Denver Marathon

On May 15, 2022, Daniel completed a marathon in Denver. While he was not entirely exceptional at this (he scored 2nd to last out of over 150 people) it is still a feat to run such a distance, He supposedly spent most of it interacting with fans, as his phone was in his hand in every photo taken of him.

Pool Table/Mixed Games

Daniel Larson is actually a pool table whiz. It was unclear he had such an ability until he posted a video on his YouTube channel "Daniel Larson 2023" on March 1, 2023. The video shows Daniel & co playing around a table, and Daniel is interestingly good. It is still unclear where he learned, if he learned, or if he is naturally gifted.

Another "Mixed Game" is Daniel's famous jumping jacks. Though he has not done these in a long time, they are, of course, something minorly athletic.

Track and Field

Old footage of Daniel reportedly exists from around 2019, showing him doing the long jump and some type foot of race.

General jogging and running

Transcript

Alrighty, so back around the year 2020 and 2021, I used to live all the way up on this part of town, kind of near Buckley Air Force Base, which I will show here shortly, but back when I used to do a lot of jogging and running and I was doing marathons and 5Ks, which is like 3 miles and a quarter is like 5K races, I used to run all the way up here day and night, day or night, and I would spend like all night long out here running, like in the middle of snow, when the snow was like a foot back then, it doesn't happen very much in Colorado anymore because of global warming, but back when it used to be snow like an actual foot of snow, I would come all the way out here, so I'm gonna show you guys kind of where I am, but yeah, I used to run along here, and that was back when I was doing like 15 miles, 15 mile runs, and I would be gone like 5 hours, which by the way, my old care providers hated, but that's besides the point, that's part of the reason why they decided to kick me out of so many care provider homes, is because I would run and practice my jogging for like 5-6 hours at a time, and they said that was against the rules, but it doesn't matter anymore, they pissed me off enough, but yeah, once again, this is kind of the area, and I would come all the way up here, and I would run like crazy, practicing for my marathons.

Walking

Daniel Larson, being homeless, walks around pretty much all day long most days, and is somewhat able to run though he is in poor shape- in a recent 2 minute long video Daniel is running to make a bus, and is out of breath and sweating by the end. That being said, Daniel does walk long distances some days due to his lack of a car and often his lack of money for the Subway. This homelessness, lack of changing socks, and walking this much is what eventually lead to Daniel's trench foot.

Hiking

In June 2023, Daniel began frequently hiking for hours, almost every day. Most of these videos seemed to be filmed on mountains, presumably near Denver, where Daniel was/is staying at the time. Such an example can be found on the Daniel Larson NYC 13 channel here.

Planet Fitness

Daniel Larson has had Planet Fitness memberships in the past, but they seem to have been used for showers and a place to sleep rather than to exercise. This membership later lead to the famous Planet Fitness Incident.
