good question!

From the "Just your average Joggler" blog:
“RULES

1. This record is for running the marathon (26 miles 385 yards 42.195 km) in the fastest possible time, whilst juggling three objects.

2. The attempt should be made during an organised official marathon.

3. The balls (or clubs) should be juggled every step of the marathon. All patterns used must be continuously alternating right-left-right-left. No left-left or right-right will be allowed at any time. No `multiplexing’ will be allowed. If at any time any of the objects are dropped or touch the ground, the person attempting the record must stop and carry on from that point.

4. Every step must be witnessed by independent witnesses (other runners) who are not connected with the actual attempt but are prepared to help with the authentication. They should sign a log book with details of when they were running with the person attempting the record (their names, addresses and runner numbers). The log should show that the attempt has been followed throughout.

5. The name of the person making the attempt should be given, along with the date and place.”

The water thing... dunno. Maybe stop and drink?

Oh yeah, that's the other guy we saw!

Interesting question about the water, though! Not to mention other nutrition! Hmmm. :think:

From the "Just your average joggler" blog:

"People often ask how I drink water while joggling a marathon. While I’ve experimented with throwing my bean bag up really high, taking a cup of water, gulping it down and catching the bean bag before it hits the ground, it is a bit easier just to stop juggling. This is well within the joggling rules as long as you stop running while you drink. You then have to start juggling again before you start moving forward."
