. To participate, all you have to do is put on a mask or some sort of facial covering, run a mile while wearing your mask, and post about it on social media using the hashtag.Accompanied by two friends, Bhat ran his mile on July 9, proving to himself that wearing a mask would not hinder his breathing, even while giving a hard effort in 95-degree heat.“I hadn’t been running as much for two months, and I was still within 20 seconds of my mile PR in super hot conditions,” he said.
His post has bounced around the internet, inspiring #MaskedMiles all over the country in places like California, Chicago, and New Jersey. He even saw a post in Mexico. Though he has received some pushback from people who are against wearing masks, he said the responses have been mostly positive. All he hopes is that it encourages people to wear a mask and to do their part in helping end the pandemic in the U.S.
“If I can run a mile in a mask at a pretty solid pace, other people can wear it to the grocery store, the beach, or wherever they go,” Bhat said. “And people doing the challenge are running three miles, six miles, walking, running, biking. It’s cool to see people putting their own twist on it. It makes me excited to see where it’s going.”
