When you run a 5k(3.1 miles) then take ice baths after. Often mistaken for its derivative Netflix in chill referring f*** but no it means just run and take an ice bath. So shut the hell up football players and stop saying you wanna "5k and chill" with the cross country team

To "run a 5k" means to take a shit, or dump, or some form of fecal expulsion.

It is in reference to one Warren Buchanan, who, whilst running a 5k for charity, was prompted at mile two and a half to run off the course in a nearby parking lot and pop a squat. Also keep in mind he was wearing an all-white track suit at the time, which is why he had to run off of the course immediately, and not run the additional seven minutes to finish the course in fear of defiling himself in front of hundreds of runners.

A family that runs 5ks on holidays
Person 1: How was your thanksgiving.
Person 2: Terrible I'm in a 5k holiday family. Our whole family was forced to get up early and run a 5k before we celebrated.
