All of these can done in under an hour and by folks in shape, but which of these activities would be more impressive?

My vote would be:

1. Swim 1 mile
2. Run 5 miles
3. Bike 25 miles a distant third.

Swimming 1 mile is much more difficult that the other 2 for an average person.

You should just do all three. Save the swimming for last.

Swim. Best thing about that is you don't stress out body joints.

Was a long time swimmer for many years. If I didn't have heart failure from a virus, at 56, I would still be a swimmer. Everything else in my body works like a 25 year old kid. And yes, I put this body to hell and back.

It depends, what type of terrain are we running/biking on? Are we swimming against a current or a huge fricking swimming pool?

I think people are underestimating 25 miles on a bike. That's some tour de france shite.

definitely swimming…if you aren't a seasoned swimmer, it's doubtful the average human can even swim a full mile before exhaustion….biking would be second hardest

running 5 miles is easy as frick…average a 11 minute + mile…can't believe people are picking that as #1

If we're talking about the average person, biking in by far the easiest. However, if you had a triathlete, the 25 mile bike would give you the highest calorie burn out of the three. A 25 mile time trial can be hard as shite if you're pushing it.

He's just saying that it's easy to run 5 miles in less than an hour because most people whether your in shape or not can at least run an 11 minute mile.
