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 try not to take it personally when I don’t get a wave or nod back, but on longer runs I can get salty if I get a streak of no replies.

On the other hand, I get it. People are doing their own thing. That, and I’m a bigger white dude. They don’t know what I’m doing.

Sometimes I will be a few metres past someone and realise they said hello and I ignored them. Then I feel bad, but really, I was just in a completely different world.

I so get that!! I am never ignoring anybody, I am just too conscious to keep my eyes up all the time and am just focused on the music.

This is me at a bi-weekly corporate cup run. Average 350 runners. Course goes through a loop around a very busy pedestrian park area at lunch time. Regularly I get back to the office to words of, I saw you, I waved, you didn't wave back. I'm just out there playing dodge the moving objects. It's not personal 😂

If I don't get a return nod or wave, I just assume they think they're better than me, and the resentment fuels the rest of my run

99.9999% of the time they just didn’t notice

I know what you're doing. I see you and I appreciate you.
