Running in public in casual attire. Anonymous
Is anyone else annoyed at society's negative view of running while wearing anything else other than 'official' exercise attire?

Sometimes when I need to get from point 'a' to point 'b', I will simply run there. It's a healthy way to stay fit and get two things done at once. However I always get a slew of weird looks and always the common "RUN FOREST, RUN! HURRR!"

we run all the time in video games, simply to get shit done fast, and nobody is there to judge you.

pic sorta related. But without all the guns........and police.

I was just browsing /v/ and I thought I was still on there for a sec, but yeah most people think you're a nut or a criminal if you're running.

I wonder. It's maybe because we don't have much natural ennemies so we use our aggresiveness on others?

Main reason I don't run from place to place is I'd end up a sweaty mess by the time I got there.

But if I worked within 3 miles of me and there was a shower at my work I probably would run to and from work.

That's a good point OP, but it depends a lot on the setting. If I break into a run on campus, no matter what I'm wearing, nobody looks twice because everybody is young and busy and living diverse lives. But if I do it anywhere else in town most people are settled adults living out their daily routine, so anything different shocks them.

and because of that, we don't run, we get fat, and sue the food companies.

Anyone can survive on a regular diet of McDonalds as long as you expend all the energy you acquire from the food. (But it is usually way too much energy to expel in a day.)

I agree, running is more interesting and quiker than walking. i only do it when its dark though and not many people around, or you do look weird =S

You just have to run a bit more casually. I find I get a 90% reduction in scrutiny if I keep it under 8 mph and don't look too focused.

Otherwise, if I'm going fast enough to get negative attention, I probably need to be going that fast anyway, so whatever.

I did get in a few peoples' face for that "run forest run" faggotry, it's like what, are you calling me retarded because I need to move a little faster right now? I'll kick your fucking teeth in you fat fuck, mind your own business.

On campus, I used to run from class to class, but I still get weird looks and "RUN, FOREST, RUN!". So now I sit on the shuttle bus like everyone else.

I'd keep running, they want attention and you should feel bad for them.

but it's a lot more fun if you think of it as a video game.

We have some dude that rides a goddamn unicycle to classes and people barely notice him.

I remember a kid used to ride a unicycle to lectures. If I remember correctly, he also had colourful clownish clothes including a floppy jester's hat. That might just be my memory fucking with me.

I forgot to add, everyone thought he was a total dick as a result. Just in case it looked like I was condoning his actions.

What's all this "RUN FOREST RUN" thing about? I've never heard of the expression before.

But yeah, I do agree about running in casual attire. People seem to gawk like they've never seen someone run before.

Sounds like high school. There's not much anyone could do on my college campus to surprise me anymore.

It wasn't surprising, it was just painfully clear he was desperate to appear unique and interesting. Consequently, everyone thought he was a cunt.

This. I mean, yield. And run in predictable paths that don't cut any pedestrians off or surprise them unnecessarily.

Unless you're a ninja, then I think they get suspicious if you _don't_ run.

Fuck, now I want to play again to find out.

Always running short distances quicker then walking = get more down in the day!

If assholes ask why you're running, yell out "IT'S COMING THIS WAY!!!"

keep running while franticly glancing back.

I'd rather run in cloth that are made to make running easier, I would never want to ruin my normal clothing with a pool of sweat, I think you need to rethink this running in normal clothing shit.

it's negative because by the time you get where you're going you're sweaty and most likely stinky as well.

it's disgusting.

Why would anyone publicly announce that they have a crappy sense of humor and are assholes? That's some weird culture you've got there Americans
