resipsaloquiturRunners Are Discovering They Can Churn Butter on Their Runs—and It’s Surprisingly Easy
I used to churn butter out of fermented milk (Curd) by having the lunch bag containing the bottle of curd sit in my bicycle basket as I rode to school some 7 km away on bumpy roads.
It is if it’s the right bacteria making it go sour.
I just leave a gallon of milk in the back seat of my car and crack it open when the milk turns solid - does that count?
Wait, that isn’t a euphemism?

PlaidBaronAmish people laughing their asses off right now.
There’s a fitness guy I follow on Instagram called @trailswithzach, and he always posts trail runs where he makes ice cream in a backpack.
He puts bags of ice in a backpack, along with cream and flavors, and the motion of his running helps churn everything together so it solidifies and mixes into ice cream. It’s actually kinda cool, cause you get to exercise and then enjoy a cold treat when you’re done.
Gsus4I gotta do this
MinnesotaGoddami am such an ice cream snob i am morally obligated to urge you not to
Is there a way I can get it right?
I also like eating good ice cream
My ice cream cookbook is in the other room and I am not happy walking today. Too much bicycle Friday (just got it fixed) it’s called the perfect scoop by Trevor corson I think. That can’t be right he wrote a book on lobsters that is amazing you have to read it. Give me five
I’d love a set of bike pedals hooked up to some gears and a battery. Always thought a rowing machine would be good for that too.
finallymadeanaccountI just call it mud butt, not butter.
If you’re churning anything while running, that’s energy being diverted to churning. Perfectly fine, but if your goal is to improve running technique, pace and speed, there are better ways to do it.
If your goal is to get exercise, it’s more efficient than running and then coming home and churning butter; but it uses different muscles.
If you’re churning anything while running, that’s energy being diverted to churning.
Yes and no. If you’re putting the same amount of energy in to move more mass, yes, some of that energy is diverted away from some aspect(s) of your mechanical motion into the cream. However, you can also just put in marginally more energy to compensate. A quart of cream weighs ~1lb. If you’re a 120 lb runner, you’ve increased your weight by 0.8%, so you only need to increase your energy output by that same margin. That’s not a big ask. And it gets smaller the heavier you are.
but it uses different muscles.
I mean… not really? Presumably, you’re carrying this cream close to your body somewhere on your waist or torso, like in a pocket, pouch, tucked into a sports bra, or something similar. That means it’s going to be relatively close to your center of gravity. And, again, we’re talking ~1lb here for a quart. So it’s not going to move your center of gravity significantly between its mass relative to yours, as well as it’s proximity to your center of gravity. 1 lb is not significant. Your can gain a pound rating pasta right. And runners typically lose 1-4 lbs of water per hour on a run from sweat and respiration anyway.
but if your goal is to improve running technique, pace and speed, there are better ways to do it.>
I think the goal is the novelty of making butter without really trying to, or simply multi-tasking.
The different muscle bit is “different muscles to hand churning” - could be a positive or a negative depending on your goals.
hold up. you want me to make butter while running?
naw. hell naw. first of all, I don’t run. second of all, I buy my butter at the store like a normal person.
next thing they gonna try is butter from titty milk.
