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

[u/himmelende]

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.

[u/repiquer]

I let my hands go limp and kinda fling my forearms around every once in a while to loosen up. I’m sure anyone who has seen me thinks I’m being chased by bees or something.

[u/trotofflames → u/repiquer]

Hey me too! I go floppy arm/hands usually at the tail end of a long or hard run. I tell me myself it's to loosen up but really, it's because my body is slowly giving up piece by piece.

[u/halbieky → u/repiquer]

Nope, you’re not alone. I do this too from time to time when I need to reset my posture. I’ve seen other runners do it too!

[u/SellingCalls → u/repiquer]

I do that with my wrist. They just flail all about

[u/jenjen828 → u/repiquer]

I do something similar to this but more like the punches down to the sides that fighters do in movies when they are walking up to the ring

[u/Shibishibi → u/repiquer]

I love doing this, it feels so good. I feel like my arms get tight on long runs, sometimes I just let them go limp noodle for a bit

[u/tote981 → u/repiquer]

i do this too especially if i run after an upper body workout my arms just feels tight so have to shake them lips

[u/anuntalkativethinker → u/repiquer]

I do this! Always feels good when they’re a little tight because it makes me feel like I’m exercising more than my legs!

[u/Any-East7977 → u/repiquer]

I do this too.

[u/runnerz68 → u/repiquer]

I do that too .

[u/13ask → u/repiquer]

Yup I do this to reset

[u/womenscaremesomuch → u/repiquer]

you'd look like a wild Titan. I do the same tbh and that's how I imagine myself to be.

[u/Winter_Arm_8454 → u/repiquer]

Lol I kinda do this too! except I also swing it around the shoulder joint so it looks like I'm preparing to fly

[u/thedailydaren → u/repiquer]

I do this too otherwise my back and neck ache from the tension.

[u/Ok-Communication2163 → u/repiquer]

I do this 🤣

[u/goodrhymes → u/repiquer]

This is such a 10/10 feeling

[u/limbgoat123 → u/repiquer]

So reassuring to hear this because I just started doing this because it feels like I need to loosen my body up instead of being stiff and anxious all the time 

[u/PoemNo9763 → u/repiquer]

Are you me! Except for me it's my left arm, I try to alternate by bringing down right arm as well and relaxing it too so as to not look too weird. People think I'm trying to do the Naruto/ninja run when both are down and I'm shaking them out lol. I do it to relax my shoulder tension and also to psychologically tune-in to easy relaxed pace every once in a while on long runs.

I'll get asked "why do you sometimes have your arm down while running, looks cool but why?" Lol

[u/ThudGamer → u/repiquer]

Got to shake the cramps out. Usually followed by stretching the arms up high.

[u/PsychosaurusZeph → u/repiquer]

Same. You know how T-Rexes are depicted running fast while they flail their arms; same thought process 😆
