Forums >General Running>Do you like other runners?
"Runners" in general are pretty cool. "People that who Run" are mostly annoying.
How annoying are grammar Nazis?

Actually, though some people have a preference, who and that can be used when referring to people.
Where do know-it-alls fall?
There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.
We are always running for the thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill, searching for the thrill of it

I used to be a runner. Then I got old.

I'm thinking somewhere between cyclists and triathletes.

We're all friends, let's try and keep this informal.
"run" "2" "eat"
yeah, it was only a matter of time before someone dropped the f-word.

Are we there, yet?
Aside from family my friends are primarily runners or readers or both. It's a rare runner I've met that I don't like or don't get along with.

Some, yes. Majority, no.
You people have issues
Mmmm Bop
Hello little buddy, so what is it that you don’t like about the majority of other runners? Are most of them faster than you?
5k - 17:53 (4/19) 10k - 37:53 (11/18) Half - 1:23:18 (4/19) Full - 2:50:43 (4/19)
No, that has nothing to do with it. Some of the ones I like are significantly faster than me while others are significantly slower.
A few of the reasons I don't like a lot of runners.
There are other reasons but you get the idea. Some of my best friends are runners but many are not.
I think that anybody you find that has common interests with you is drawn to you because of that common interest. Often times for us who train alone on fairly hard (this is relative based on the person) we feel like everybody thinks we're crazy and nobody is out here doing it like us. This makes finding another runner seem like finding another person on a stranded island. I think that finding someone with a love like yours really makes it easy to make friends with that someone.
I enjoy running on my own but it can be isolating sometimes so it's nice to share it with other people. I try to limit the amount I talk about running with my non running friends so it's also nice to have the shared interest and not feel annoying to talk about it. I don't like it when runners don't support other runners though sometimes I feel like people get competitive or everyone has their own opinion on how you should train or the best way to do things etc.
