Literally just about to go out on a run (probably just a half-marathon or so) and on my route is a PSPO where spitting is banned. Even in pre-covid times spitting was bad.
My husband does the "fixing his underwear" thing but he does look around to make sure nobody is around. If he sees someone, he'll wait and just deal with the uncomfortable haha
Dog walkers with the stretchy leads! You shout excuse me, the owner moves to the side but they don't move the dog so you end up trying to run around the dog but the dog thinks it's a game and starts to chase you 🤣 pb gone and your legs are tied together by a dog lead 🤣
Definitely! On a bike they are downright dangerous because you can't see them. I am now very careful if dog and owner are on opposite sides of the road...
I hate it when you stop at a road because there's a car coming but then they stop anyways and wave you across like tell me earlier or just go so I can carry on running lol! I like the ones that slow down ready because they understand lol 👏
A gentle call of "ON THE RIGHT" at the slower runner badly drifting off a straight line and about to stagger out in front of you. And then they react as if you assaulted them 😂
Encountered a potential overtaking dance the other week. I was alongside this other runner and he turned and asked where I was heading and what my route was. Then asked to join me. No overtaking dance and got a running buddy for the rest of my 25k run. Great solution on this occasion.
I saw a cyclist on my run today. He was struggling up a hill so I immediately set out to beat him up said hill. Which I did. So it was probably annoying for him 😂
Did something recently a few weeks ago. A paper boy was pushing his bike up the hill, which is part of my usual route. So I sped up and sprinted past him. 😂
Hey I am a new cyclist so that was probably a guy like me. Although I haven't yet been passed by a runner. Feels a bit like cheating on your wife, cycling. Running will always be my true love.
I volunteer at the NYC marathon multiple years and 1) I've never had a rude runner if anything they are the most grateful people. 2) I can confirm that people cross the finish line looking like a fresh daisy as well as near death. It's crazy.
I usualy run early morning (3-4 am). Bless the car drivers who stop at junctions and wait to let me run over, but for most of the year it's too dark for me to see into the car, so I can't make eye contact and be sure of their intention. Instead I'm left for 30 seconds or so stood at the junction, not knowing if the driver is waving their arms at me to cross, or distracted on the mobile phone.
Haha yes so true! Or if there’s sun in your eyes or shining on the car so you can’t see either and then you’re stuck not knowing. If only cars had a screen on the front which could flash up with text saying ‘I’m letting you go’ 😂
We can only imagine some of the hand-signals, and names, coming our way from previously polite drivers when they finally lose patience and start moving again!
Oh my goodness the overtaking thing!!!! I was doing the Kingston Breakfast run a few years ago and this woman kept overtaking me and then slowing down right in front of me! I ended up growling at her to stop doing it!!! So annoying and a waste of energy 🤬🤬🤬🤬
The one thing that annoys me is when people are walking towards me (I know, not runner's) and they'll look in every direction except straight ahead and I have to leap out of their way to avoid a collision.
Maybe I'm rude, but if there's room for 2, I call out hello and run straight ahead on my side with purpose. If we bump shoulders, that's their fault for not being courteous.
Two: 1. Runners who wear earbuds and don't pay attention to traffic ( or me when I am cycling), simply jumping out on the road without looking. 2. Pedestrians or other runners coming in the opposite direction, who walk/run side by side and don't make room, on a narrow path or tight sidewalk with no extra side space other than the busy road.
Three runners (or power walkers) running, side by side, towards you, talking and they don't move out of the way until you are "on top of them". If you are running with you dog, there are runners/nonrunners that will call it. Like you have the time to stop and let them have a pet.
Here in California, it’s culturally considered weird to acknowledge strangers upon passing them. It happens, but it’s not common. I’ve never had a runner acknowledge me in any way, and I haven’t initiated, either. Mostly we try to avoid eye contact while passing. So, I wouldn’t think it’s bad etiquette at all if another runner didn’t acknowledge me! In fact, I would be annoyed if they said hello, because I want to stay focused and preserve my breath 😅
I have to say that I am the one who can’t get their shoe the right tightness and have nearly lost my starting time slot!!!!! Great seeing Anna and Sarah presenting together, they make a great pairing and both have an energetic and friendly smile too!!! 😊😀😁
Oh, the runner with the dog not used to the trail! I love doggos but if your dog is going to try to nip at every runner it sees, maybe try a less crowded path!
Actually, I'm that runner (to cyclists) and "in my zone-not on the bike path" when I hear any man voice, I panic!!!! 99% of the runners/cyclists that have said "on your left/right" are totally nice when I legit almost die of a heart attack... but on a non bike path with my music low, it's honestly terrifying
Not just men. I'm sure any voice would scare me, but I don't run on bike paths... so every biker I've come across has been on a difficult path or very nice! Only 1 old mean guy who's probably 87 but bikes 10 miles a day scares me... probably to get me to die first? That's honestly my only explanation. Around my area, I've had nothing but super nice/normal interactions with runners & bikers 😃 He's 87ish... so he isn't reading this. *old mean biker guy who's neighbors with my MIL.
If I know they are running and walking - overtaking me often and following the couch to 5K plan - I mentally (but I should vocally) congratulate them for getting out of the door. But I relate to all of them! My close friend is a race walker and walks faster than my running speed so I wouldn't want to train at the same place/time as her!
This is a walker thing, but I’ve had several incidents of walkers suddenly trying to run alongside me! I think they were trying to test if they could keep up with me. I was so caught off guard each time and found it intrusive to my focus that I just ended up ignoring them until they stopped 😬
For me it's when in a race. On numerous occasions I've overtaken people. I'm not overtaking to get one over on them, I'm just running my race plan. Then they speed up to regain the place. This will continue for about a half a mile before they realise that I've left more in the tank for the back half of the race.
I think the most annoying thing other runners do is run faster than me; and they run when I'm working witch makes me jealous. I am guilty of the "posting my run on social media" and I do wonder if "they" will understand that it was an easyrun and I can run faster... But atleast I try to make my posting fun by always using a funny meme. And Anna... Dont be jealous of people running with no top on. Just trow yours away too... Who knows; people might start cheering you on and you'll be inspired to PB... 😉🤣
I live in the middle of nowhere so usually the annoying thing is cars. Especially some lorry drivers who don't leave big enough of a space between and you get hit by the wind or if you have bad luck stones. Summer annoying thing is horseflies though. This year they're everywhere thanks to a heatwave (annoying) so any kind of exercise outside is a frigging race. I was supposed to have a nice walk which ended up being a bloody sprint because of the amount of mosquitoes and horseflies. Which was especially annoying since it was 27C and humid, so... awful "walk". I counted 17 horselfy bites after 45min outside one day so... Surprisingly I've started to bike this year since it's too fast for the bugs. =D
Sooo guilty of holding up my own run. I'll fret over my schedule, I squeeze in an hour block and grump that I don't have longer... then dilly dally getting ready and waste 15 minutes of my hour!
So when I did the Chicago Marathon, I am a disabled athlete and so I was in the first Q. With the wounded veterans that are on the hand bikes. This annoying thing is not for me I found it very amusing. The bike people were holding back with us until the elites started to go. Some of them were waiting till the elites were buy them and then they would take off kind of hold off for a second again do a loop around them and then go on ahead again I was told they did this the entire marathon. I was so amused but I assure you the Kenyons were not amused.
Well I always bit confuse when shoud we nod to other runner, is it from a far, or shoud we wait until he is closer, either way things sometimes turn awkward 😅
The car thing is the worse. I get very nervous as some drivers look like they are deliberately trying to run you off the road or scare you. It’s made me so extra cautious when I have to actually run on the road.
Spider webs that you can see but feel especially in your face! Dogs that bark and try to bite you. Busy roads that make you stop for a few minutes. Too hot and too humid weather. Any distraction on your running gear (watch, phone, short, singlet etc...). When in MAF having to go super slow to keep heart rate.
Cars can be so bad! I run daily with a stroller, and once I had a driver wave me on and then start to drive forward as soon as I went to cross the road! I was so thankful to have that handbrake.
How about annoying that happen to runners? - Losing a shoe in mud on a trail run - Misjudging a curb and falling over (that was me!) - Getting pooped on by a bird. - Getting drenched by a car going through a puddle.
Pet peeve of mine is running friends that claim to you that they are "not doing so well with fitness", "totally off form lately" or "I'm not very fast, you'll easily beat me" then proceed to consistently just annihilate any time, PB or pace you do and either on the same route, anywhere and at anytime. Like, don't make out you're slower than me when it's quite clear that you're a much quicker or fitter runner than me. It's not going to hurt my feelings - we all run at different speeds and strides. I'd say that annoys me the most for some reason. 🙄
For me the most annoying this is people, bikers and everyone else not keeping to their right. I'm from a country where we drive on our right side of the street. If everyone just keeps to their right of the sidewalk/bike path, road, path, street whatever everyone using that piece of path can walk, jog, run, bike, e-bike smoothly. KEEP RIGHT. (or in the uk and "similar countries" keep left).
I definitely can relate to the red in the face comment. I have been both side of the coin. When I run with mates who are slower than me and i run at there pace i fell fine after a run. Run with my faster mates and look like I am about to keel over and faint lol. Felt like that the other night when trying to smash out a 7 mile club run before the football was on. 😂
would you be able to do your own opinions on when to get new running shoes?? It may seem like an easy way to know but I don't really know when to give up my running shoes...
As someone mentioned dogs .... I absolutely HATE unleashed dogs. Especially when the owner is not in sight. I do not know, and frankly don't care if the owner ASSUMES that the dog will be nice to everyone and there will be no runners or cyclists who might feel uncomfortable or even genuinely scared. I do not know where the dog comes from, how it will act around me running or cycling, and I had occasional run-ins with dogs who barked or even chased me for a while. Now I am generally a fan of doggos and puppers and everything in between, but even then I sometimes get uncomfortable about this, especially if it's not obvious if the dogs want to play or are upset. And imagining someone who is struggling with a fear of dogs running into those situations... I think it should be common sense to AT LEAST have your dog in sight when outdoors, or on a leash, especially in areas with lots of foot traffic, runners or cyclists... well, that was quite a ramble, I know ... but this really irritates me at times :-D
Don't know about your country but in NZ cars crossing footpaths are suppose to give way to pedestrians. Cars pulling out their drive or service (petrol) station very rarely do it. They think they own the paths as much as the road.
Since you mentioned cars, one that can go beyond annoying and into downright troubling: drivers who slow down to shout at you. I know several ladies that have been catcalled, and as an overweight male, I've gotten several "Run, Forrest, run!"s and one "Faster, fat ass!" Try and shrug it off, but it is humiliating.
That's horrible, Jeff, and we're so sorry to hear this has happened to you! We made a video recently about street harassment as this is something that seems to have increased during lockdown. We're hoping that by highlighting the issue more can be done to stop it happening.
I find this annoying - running a loop around my local lake I always acknowledge other runners with a wave. But if we are running the loop in opposite directions and pass each other multiple times I’m always thinking “Do I wave again? Is once enough? I don’t want to be rude, but maybe more than once is creepy? Did they even get a good enough look at me to realize I am the same guy? “. I know, I’m probably overthinking it. I am a runner literally annoying myself.
I run with my four legged pal on a short lead, so when I see someone coming towards me I put myself between them and the woofer out of courtesy. I’ve had a couple of people get upset because they have to go on the “ wrong side” of the path for me to pass….most people say thanks though… Runner or not I think whining people are just going to whine no matter how much you try to do the better thing. Xx
A wet, rainy day and we were doing 1000m reps on a river bank loop. I pulled left to pass a guy on an uphill stretch. He held his finger on his right nostril and blew a major snot out the left right into my chest. That was annoying.
Cars shooting out of driveways just as you run past, almost got taken out once, but the driver was shocked, apologised. I think a lesson was learned - on both sides.
What happens me frequently is that I run past people walking. When I overtake them I greet them which gives them an awful fright. Am I such a silent runner, I wonder. Must be annoying for them though. What to do?
You could try making a noise on your approach, either a cough, saying 'on your left' or 'on your right' or make your footsteps louder? I think a lot of people have had this though, where you give someone the fright of their life running past them 😂
In America, some guys like to run shirtless and in short shorts. I’m personally too self conscious to do things like that, but if I did, it would be to annoy others.
Some annoying things I actually do: 1. Overtake a MTB cyclist on a hill and smile back :-) 2. Running super-close to the runners I know, practically drafting on them. And... that annoying runner in a group that HAVE TO be half leg ahead of you
Runners/walkers /cyclists coming the other way on your side of the path. Here in France we actually have direction signs on paths but what a waste of paint, if there's one thing the French hate, is being told what side they should be on. Imagine if cars did the same, oh wait, did I mention I live in France 🤣
I used to spit occasionally during a run but after the pandemic started I decided to avoid it and haven't spat during a run since. It's completely unnecessary.
My pet hate is people who run directly behind you for the entirety of a race such as parkrun and then sprint past you at the last second. In regards to hygiene just remember, runners never die, we just smell like it.
Can I add one of the most annoying things on a run are people on electric scooters who insist on riding on the pavement at break neck speeds pushing us runners into the road...
I was driving downtown(where the speed limit is 20mph) and a low iq runner in the middle lane runs past me and yells “move out the way!”. 🧐🤔 this was particularly mind boggling seeing as how neither of us was in danger of hitting each other. This was at 4:30 am so there was no one else.
I'm going to rant now...so maybe stick on the kettle and make yourself a cup of tea, which you can then spit out cartoon style, as I call out some of our fellow runners. OK, here goes, what really gets me annoyed about other runners, are the (deep breath Donal) people who rock up 5 mins before the off at a Parkrun. They don't bother being there on time for the Race directors brief, try every week for a PB and so get annoyed at slower runners near the start. Finish, get their token scanned and head straight for their cars and f*** off with out a thank you to anyone. We all know and saw them, they've never volunteered and so miss out on craic at set up and afterwards. Honestly folks, if you've never volunteered at your local Parkrun make a point of doing so when they return. Volunteer say once every 10 runs, you'll thank me once you've done Marshall or Tail walker and witnessed the true Parkrun spirit in action. I really miss Parkruns, the nervous energy of the newbies, the hesitant but proud hand raised in reply to "any milestoners here today", smiling as you watch a parent 'let' their kid beat them and seeing that extra spurt in responce to your shout of encouragement at the end. Actually now I think about it, maybe I should feel sorry for those runners who just turn up, run and leave; look at all that they miss out on. But seriously folks, do volunteer at your local Parkrun. Now wipe up that tea and have an extra biscuit next time, you're a runner afterall and it's carb loading.
Hmmmmm ...... I have never done a Parkrun. I bought the armband last year, just before closedown. I live in Denmark, where Parkrun started up again last month. Still haven't been there ..... 😖 .... My problem is, that I live quite far away from my nearest Parkrun. To be there at nine o'clock, I have to get up at 6 and spend more than 1½ hour on public transport. I really want to go - but I think it is very unlikely that I will ever volunteer. Well, at least not if it means that I'll have to come earlier. I would feel very uncomfortable if anyone should criticise me for this. But I would love to be sociable after the run ..... if I ever make it to Parkrun. Usually I get up around 9. So getting up at 6 to go to Parkrun ..... not se easy. 😁
The first time I volunteered, I was the tail walker. It really humbles you to see the parkrun spirit when somebody just does their best to get around and how happy they are when they finish in whatever time. To see the encouragement of the marshalls towards the runners and especially the last runner. I never felt bad about not getting a best time after experiencing that, and I still haven't broken 30 minutes.
by the comments I read, runners in the uk can be a pretty annoying group of people for ordinary pedestrians who wish to carry out their business without being hit on the shoulder or run on top of.
I hate spitting in public. The only times it doesn’t bother me is at work (I am a dental assistant ) it is weirdest thing. I think it is about having proper manners. That’s probably the only thing that bothers me.
Fast runners talking about how slow they are. Runners who (especially in a race) run side-by-side forcing you go around them. Loud chatty runners on trails.
Groups of runners that take up the whole path when your going the other way and don’t move over a bit or go into single file causing you to run off the path.
Confession time: Do you do any of these? Let us know in the comments below! Tag a friend who does them too. (And don’t forget, it’s all a bit of fun!)

Very annoying! It’s always nice to be nice 😀
@@runningchannel I generally shout back. Works 5 out of ten, even if it is a F### orrf.

Mine is walkers not moving out of the way or dog wakers having their lead across the whole path.

💯%

Dog walkers with the stretchy leads! You shout excuse me, the owner moves to the side but they don't move the dog so you end up trying to run around the dog but the dog thinks it's a game and starts to chase you 🤣 pb gone and your legs are tied together by a dog lead 🤣

One pair of runners i switched to elastic laces. Keeps the shoe on with room for expansion!
3:27 "Anyone who runs is a runner". I loved this one! it doesnt matter if it is pace 8:00/km or 2:50/km
... realising too late that you should breathe through the nose when you run into a thick cloud of midges.
Yep we’ve all been there… does it count as extra protein?😂
Oh, the runner with the dog not used to the trail! I love doggos but if your dog is going to try to nip at every runner it sees, maybe try a less crowded path!
Yes, and I'll add in extendable leads that turn your run into an obstacle course!
Walkers or hikers who don’t run and you say “on your left!” And they go left!
Yes, oh my god just stay where you are walkers
🤣 happens with some cyclists, too!

So much fun to watch and I'd like to share my three:
Snot rockets, smug cyclists and high humidity.
Can't relate much .. yet i do always hope people cheer me on ! To keep.me.motivated ? Is that annoying? I don't ask them out loud tho .
It's lovely to get cheers whilst out running 😊
Just remembered another one. Runners that put on cheep perfume before running. You can suffocate running behind them.
For me it is slow chattering people takeing up the trail or sidewalk so you have to run into the Street or though bushes to get past
For me it's when in a race. On numerous occasions I've overtaken people. I'm not overtaking to get one over on them, I'm just running my race plan. Then they speed up to regain the place.

Have to agree when some elites judge your time. I'm 48.
I live in Australia, so I am guilty of the occasional shirtless run on a hot day.

although with the mounting attacks on many women runners, I may smile then leave it at that. C'mon men we are not out here to be a threat!
@@kevindecoteau3186 Absolutely. I just give an upward nod. But if anyone says "Hi" to me I always answer.
That annoying look by ongoing walkers, while I squeeze the sweat of my t-shirt or singlet 😂😂😂
I was wondering what cameras you use to record yourselves on a run, the pictures are always rock steady?
I'm a track athlete, if someone overlaps me while training on the road, that person bought a war that he's not ready for
😂😂
Well I always bit confuse when shoud we nod to other runner, is it from a far, or shoud we wait until he is closer, either way things sometimes turn awkward 😅
The car thing is the worse. I get very nervous as some drivers look like they are deliberately trying to run you off the road or scare you. It’s made me so extra cautious when I have to actually run on the road.
Spider webs that you can see but feel especially in your face!
Dogs that bark and try to bite you.
Busy roads that make you stop for a few minutes.
Too hot and too humid weather.
Any distraction on your running gear (watch, phone, short, singlet etc...).
When in MAF having to go super slow to keep heart rate.
Cars can be so bad! I run daily with a stroller, and once I had a driver wave me on and then start to drive forward as soon as I went to cross the road! I was so thankful to have that handbrake.
How about annoying that happen to runners?
- Losing a shoe in mud on a trail run
- Misjudging a curb and falling over (that was me!)
- Getting pooped on by a bird.
- Getting drenched by a car going through a puddle.
Love this! All so true👌
Haha I think a lot of people can relate to falling off a curb - hope you were ok after! 😊
All of the above
Pet peeve of mine is running friends that claim to you that they are "not doing so well with fitness", "totally off form lately" or "I'm not very fast, you'll easily beat me" then proceed to consistently just annihilate any time, PB or pace you do and either on the same route, anywhere and at anytime. Like, don't make out you're slower than me when it's quite clear that you're a much quicker or fitter runner than me. It's not going to hurt my feelings - we all run at different speeds and strides. I'd say that annoys me the most for some reason. 🙄
For me the most annoying this is people, bikers and everyone else not keeping to their right. I'm from a country where we drive on our right side of the street. If everyone just keeps to their right of the sidewalk/bike path, road, path, street whatever everyone using that piece of path can walk, jog, run, bike, e-bike smoothly. KEEP RIGHT. (or in the uk and "similar countries" keep left).
I definitely can relate to the red in the face comment. I have been both side of the coin. When I run with mates who are slower than me and i run at there pace i fell fine after a run. Run with my faster mates and look like I am about to keel over and faint lol. Felt like that the other night when trying to smash out a 7 mile club run before the football was on. 😂
I’ve just bought my seventh pair of running shoes but I’ve not got rid of my old pairs. Is there something wrong with me?
would you be able to do your own opinions on when to get new running shoes?? It may seem like an easy way to know but I don't really know when to give up my running shoes...
This was fun to watch.. so accurate
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
As someone mentioned dogs .... I absolutely HATE unleashed dogs. Especially when the owner is not in sight.
I do not know, and frankly don't care if the owner ASSUMES that the dog will be nice to everyone and there will be no runners or cyclists who might feel uncomfortable or even genuinely scared. I do not know where the dog comes from, how it will act around me running or cycling, and I had occasional run-ins with dogs who barked or even chased me for a while.
Now I am generally a fan of doggos and puppers and everything in between, but even then I sometimes get uncomfortable about this, especially if it's not obvious if the dogs want to play or are upset. And imagining someone who is struggling with a fear of dogs running into those situations... I think it should be common sense to AT LEAST have your dog in sight when outdoors, or on a leash, especially in areas with lots of foot traffic, runners or cyclists...
well, that was quite a ramble, I know ... but this really irritates me at times :-D
I can neither confirm or deny that I have any bad running habits. 🤣 🤔 😝
Don't know about your country but in NZ cars crossing footpaths are suppose to give way to pedestrians. Cars pulling out their drive or service (petrol) station very rarely do it. They think they own the paths as much as the road.
Since you mentioned cars, one that can go beyond annoying and into downright troubling: drivers who slow down to shout at you. I know several ladies that have been catcalled, and as an overweight male, I've gotten several "Run, Forrest, run!"s and one "Faster, fat ass!" Try and shrug it off, but it is humiliating.
That's horrible, Jeff, and we're so sorry to hear this has happened to you! We made a video recently about street harassment as this is something that seems to have increased during lockdown. We're hoping that by highlighting the issue more can be done to stop it happening.
I find this annoying - running a loop around my local lake I always acknowledge other runners with a wave. But if we are running the loop in opposite directions and pass each other multiple times I’m always thinking “Do I wave again? Is once enough? I don’t want to be rude, but maybe more than once is creepy? Did they even get a good enough look at me to realize I am the same guy? “. I know, I’m probably overthinking it. I am a runner literally annoying myself.
when is the TV channel coming?
I run with my four legged pal on a short lead, so when I see someone coming towards me I put myself between them and the woofer out of courtesy. I’ve had a couple of people get upset because they have to go on the “ wrong side” of the path for me to pass….most people say thanks though…
Runner or not I think whining people are just going to whine no matter how much you try to do the better thing. Xx
When I'm running the same pace as someone I draft behind them, recover, then drop the surge and cya later
A wet, rainy day and we were doing 1000m reps on a river bank loop. I pulled left to pass a guy on an uphill stretch. He held his finger on his right nostril and blew a major snot out the left right into my chest. That was annoying.
Dropping air biscuits when your downwind 💨🤧
Yup! Lovely 🤢
It's all those carbs!
Sorry. Guilty here. 🙄
Cars shooting out of driveways just as you run past, almost got taken out once, but the driver was shocked, apologised. I think a lesson was learned - on both sides.
Oooh yikes! Glad you're ok 😊
I would add when runners don't say "hello" back
Anna…. Are you running through peoples back gardens 😂😂😂
I find it very annoying when you can’t get a GPS signal on your watch when you want to go for a run or race.
I'm also guilty of the shoe thing! Xxx
Lol! I started running without a shirt on when I still had the flabby abs…I still have the flabby abs, but they are slightly less flabby now!
What happens me frequently is that I run past people walking. When I overtake them I greet them which gives them an awful fright. Am I such a silent runner, I wonder. Must be annoying for them though. What to do?
You could try making a noise on your approach, either a cough, saying 'on your left' or 'on your right' or make your footsteps louder? I think a lot of people have had this though, where you give someone the fright of their life running past them 😂
its has to be said doing good clear, commentary, while holding a camera while running, what is probably a lot faster than me is very impressive.
Thanks Tyler! Glad you enjoyed it!
In America, some guys like to run shirtless and in short shorts. I’m personally too self conscious to do things like that, but if I did, it would be to annoy others.
Please don't do it. It's so annoying. Everyone is hot but we don't go around half naked because of it
In the south where I live the summer humidity is oppressive and nipple rub (tried everything imaginable) is a real problem.
Some annoying things I actually do:
1. Overtake a MTB cyclist on a hill and smile back :-)
2. Running super-close to the runners I know, practically drafting on them.
And... that annoying runner in a group that HAVE TO be half leg ahead of you
Ah you're the "one stepper" Dmitry 😂! Thanks for watching and sharing these 😊
Runners/walkers /cyclists coming the other way on your side of the path. Here in France we actually have direction signs on paths but what a waste of paint, if there's one thing the French hate, is being told what side they should be on. Imagine if cars did the same, oh wait, did I mention I live in France 🤣
During a race when the runner in front of me came to a dead stop to take a selfie. I still to this day don't know how I managed to avoid her
It's beautiful there! Not even a single bear met while running
I used to spit occasionally during a run but after the pandemic started I decided to avoid it and haven't spat during a run since. It's completely unnecessary.
Great to hear Colin and well done! 😊
I do not use "social media" much happier.
Beginner runners who refer to distances other than 26.2 miles as “marathons” such as “You run marathons?! Me too! I just did a 5k marathon last fall!”
Hygiene ?
It's so much easier to win a race, when the competition has to stop to vomit, or faint :-D
Never thought about that. 😂🤣😂
😂😂😂
My pet hate is people who run directly behind you for the entirety of a race such as parkrun and then sprint past you at the last second.
In regards to hygiene just remember, runners never die, we just smell like it.
Can I add one of the most annoying things on a run are people on electric scooters who insist on riding on the pavement at break neck speeds pushing us runners into the road...
Omg definitely! I nearly got ran over a few weeks ago and it's illegal for them to be on the path in the UK!
I was driving downtown(where the speed limit is 20mph) and a low iq runner in the middle lane runs past me and yells “move out the way!”. 🧐🤔 this was particularly mind boggling seeing as how neither of us was in danger of hitting each other. This was at 4:30 am so there was no one else.
Cars/drivers that speed through puddles right next to you!!
I'm going to rant now...so maybe stick on the kettle and make yourself a cup of tea, which you can then spit out cartoon style, as I call out some of our fellow runners.
OK, here goes, what really gets me annoyed about other runners, are the (deep breath Donal) people who rock up 5 mins before the off at a Parkrun. They don't bother being there on time for the Race directors brief, try every week for a PB and so get annoyed at slower runners near the start. Finish, get their token scanned and head straight for their cars and f*** off with out a thank you to anyone.
We all know and saw them, they've never volunteered and so miss out on craic at set up and afterwards. Honestly folks, if you've never volunteered at your local Parkrun make a point of doing so when they return. Volunteer say once every 10 runs, you'll thank me once you've done Marshall or Tail walker and witnessed the true Parkrun spirit in action.
I really miss Parkruns, the nervous energy of the newbies, the hesitant but proud hand raised in reply to "any milestoners here today", smiling as you watch a parent 'let' their kid beat them and seeing that extra spurt in responce to your shout of encouragement at the end.
Actually now I think about it, maybe I should feel sorry for those runners who just turn up, run and leave; look at all that they miss out on. But seriously folks, do volunteer at your local Parkrun. Now wipe up that tea and have an extra biscuit next time, you're a runner afterall and it's carb loading.
Hmmmmm ...... I have never done a Parkrun. I bought the armband last year, just before closedown.
I live in Denmark, where Parkrun started up again last month. Still haven't been there ..... 😖 .... My problem is, that I live quite far away from my nearest Parkrun. To be there at nine o'clock, I have to get up at 6 and spend more than 1½ hour on public transport.
I really want to go - but I think it is very unlikely that I will ever volunteer. Well, at least not if it means that I'll have to come earlier.
I would feel very uncomfortable if anyone should criticise me for this.
But I would love to be sociable after the run ..... if I ever make it to Parkrun. Usually I get up around 9. So getting up at 6 to go to Parkrun ..... not se easy. 😁
The first time I volunteered, I was the tail walker. It really humbles you to see the parkrun spirit when somebody just does their best to get around and how happy they are when they finish in whatever time. To see the encouragement of the marshalls towards the runners and especially the last runner. I never felt bad about not getting a best time after experiencing that, and I still haven't broken 30 minutes.
i can't keep my eyes out of those
The running at the same speed thing is a real issue.
by the comments I read, runners in the uk can be a pretty annoying group of people for ordinary pedestrians who wish to carry out their business without being hit on the shoulder or run on top of.
I hate spitting in public. The only times it doesn’t bother me is at work (I am a dental assistant ) it is weirdest thing. I think it is about having proper manners. That’s probably the only thing that bothers me.
I do not like when someone is riding their bike towards you on the sidewalk and they don’t move! Get off the sidewalk!
I m new friend of u ...I started watching videos since last month ..I like it... 😊
Welcome aboard! 👋 Thanks for watching 😀 Are there any other videos that you’d like us to make?
@@runningchannel a video about insect repellent for running for us sweet blooded runners.
The 'jog' thing... "I DON'T JOG" I irritatingly say"I AM A RUNNER!"
100% agree!!
Extendable dog leads, or death leads as I call them. Strewn across the road/trail ! aaargghhhh !
Nice to see u again 😊
👋 😀
@@runningchannel 😊👍🏻 😊
Fast runners talking about how slow they are. Runners who (especially in a race) run side-by-side forcing you go around them. Loud chatty runners on trails.
Groups of runners that take up the whole path when your going the other way and don’t move over a bit or go into single file causing you to run off the path.
Deep annoyance: Runners in FB groups that post their selfie for every single run. Ugh! Hey, buddy, you’re not that good looking! 😂
