In 2022, Ashton Kutcher ran his very first marathon. His goal had been to raise money for his foundation, Thorn. As Kutcher told "Today," he trained, very, very hard for the marathon. "It's brutal on the body," he said. A big part of his training involved virtual Peloton sessions, in which he interviewed the likes of Natalie Portman and Kim Kardashian while running. "Here's the thing, it was so much training... I was like, 'I'm getting bored running.'" He added, "What if I do this thing where I'm interviewing friends?"
During the marathon, Kutcher struggled to make it through the race. As he recalled to Esquire, about 10 miles into the race, he experienced a sharp pain in his side. He was then inspired to speak to God. "If you need me to have this side stitch to finish this race, then give me every ounce of pain you could possibly give me," he said, adding, "If you don't need me to have it, take it away." Apparently, he passed some gas and the stitch disappeared — Kutcher finished the race.
After completing the marathon, Kutcher decided to introduce his children to running. "They want to run a 5K, and today he started training our kids to run," Kunis told People. "They did a half-mile run today. It's very cute."
