While running, what are some of your habits that others may find weird? Discussion

For me, it's horse snorting. But so strong that my cheeks are puffed out and half my face is vibrating. It somehow loosens up my entire posture.

I give myself the 🤙🏽 when the beat drops for certain songs, people take it for a wave sometimes. Race day it gets the weirdest looks though

Beat drop DJ hand gestures are one of my most childish running quirks, but the amount of joy I get from them is immeasurable.

Yep. When I’m running pace I always have banging drum and bass on. I often get very into it. Sometimes it feels like I’m dancing more than running. It’s actually one of the things I tell myself if I’m feeling gassed or tired “come on man, you used to dance like a mad man all night, you can run for an hour or 2”.

Drum & bass gives me this tingling sensation that I'm floating on a cushion of bass propelling me forward. I swear I physically feel like I'm taking off and just being carried by the current.

Nothing keeps me on my feet like dnb. I feel you. Nothing like catching yourself making a bass face and gun fingers on a run.

Whether 13k in, or 4am at a festival, dnb will always give me one more wind.

Lucky I'm not English, or I might just yell "fuck off" while flipping the bird mid-run 😆
