The 8 Types Of RUNNER We All Know

Are you one of these? Or maybe one of your friends are? Tell us which one!

[@garethanthonyclark4879]

Mr. Run and Walk! The guy who always walks but as soon as he sees you getting closer he starts to run in the fear that you will beat him!

[@runningchannel]

😂

[@garethanthonyclark4879]

I'm in my 60's so I get a lot of that. "I can't let that old geezer beat me!"

[@misstexascardio4860]

I can't that stand that guy I always end up beating him anyway

[@nice_tri_dan4400]

What about the analyser? On the outside they are running a 5k Parkrun. On the inside they are calculating every bit of data their watch throws at them.

[@runningchannel]

All about those negative splits...where could you save 10 secs? 😂

[@hairyairey]

I used to have my phone speak out my progress in Spanish and translate it in my head while I was running. Must repeat that again sometime.

[@peter_smyth]

I perform mental finishing time calculations based on my last kilometre to distract myself from the pain.

[@filipe_paixao]

literally me.

[@louismontano1918]

i’m the shirtless shirt shorts runner one step ahead of everyone behind me because of my brand new running gear

[@stue2485]

Im the aww my back hurts ,legs feel stiff then run a p.b 🤣.

Ha ha. Me too.

[@laurarusso9424]

“It’s hottt...it’s too huuumid...I didn’t sleep well...I overdid it this week at the gym...my ankle’s a little sore. Hmmm, this sounds familiar to me... 🤔😉

[@leocossham]

Haha yeah it's weird, I often find that how I feel actually has little to do with how fast I'm about to run.

[@josephkneen3706]

That's me tbf

[@kyto5001]

I’m the junction jogger, not because it doesn’t count as run then, it’s because if I walk at all or stop it totally throws me off my pace and mindset

[@runningchannel]

Each to their own🤷‍♀️

[@aprilracine]

Greenskate7 Me too. I want to give up when I stop.

[@georgemcnaughton8238]

Stopping does seriously effect the rythmn

[@MishMash95]

Agreed, don't really see this as a negative, if you are doing a hard effort, your legs can seize up when you stop completely

[@aaronbaptist1563]

Keeping the momentum is what that's all about

The one that can't go without their music

[@runningchannel]

Haha...ummmm...no?!

[@luckycharm5757]

you mean you wear 3 running watches every time you run?

[@filipe_paixao]

-The *over-focused runner* who wont hear even a buzzing train going in their direction because they are ao much in the "ZONE" -The *under-focused runner* that is so distracted by what he views in his run, that he forgets he is even running

[@arionnabeatty7713]

I hate those runners who make excuses like “oh I’m gonna lose or sum else but they end up winning 🙄

[@WoodenAs]

That’s me.

[@BBallProductions30]

ツRemi same haha

[@theabbottintervention1134]

Yikes. You wouldn’t like me or my profile picture

[@Richard_Garza]

Yeah, I always feel off before the run. Somehow I end up winning though, go figure.

[@wowedcanbewowed1473]

Ha yeah, a lot of people do that, but it's supposed to be a coping mechanism for most people so I don't blame them. Most of the time when I do it too. Except I think I end feeling better about the race/run when I degrade my potential skill.

[@lightasair4eva]

The distance deniers drive me crazy. Like unless your elite or in the Olympics, who cares if the course is slightly long, or short. Just enjoy your run and stop getting so hung up on it.

[@runningchannel]

🤣 well said 👏

[@WoodenAs]

And it wouldn’t even matter if the race were to long or to short. Everyone is still going to be running the same distance.

[@Richard_Garza]

I’d tell them to do another lap.

[@headphonic8]

they also have no idea how much effort it takes to measure the courses! these people aren't just guesstimating, they measure it multiple times!

[@toxicblood5548]

Well if it’s to short I don’t want to consider a pbs and I care about my pbs

[@anandvenkatraman]

You forgot the types who run the same distance everyday. Also those romantic runners who run without any gear and without shoes.

[@runningchannel]

Great additions! If you enjoy our videos, we'd love it if you'd subscribe to The Running Channel too. It'd really help us out! 🙌

[@davethehat5016]

In cycling they have a similar thing to the one-stepper called the half-wheeler

[@runningchannel]

Ah yes, we've heard of these

[@stonegill9628]

I'm literally every single one of these. Especially the short shorts lol

[@runningchannel]

Ha! Recognise yourself in the 10 Ways You Know You're A Runner? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aabGgGmnr7h4oJo

[@dreyko166]

I think I’m the short shorts and shirtless runner

[@thatedsrunner8703]

Definitely the junction jogger! I've settled into my pace, and if I stop then I gotta find it again!

[@one2escape]

Latecomer for me. Some other ones. The heavy breather - self explanatory. The sprinter - toddles round park run or race but come last 100 metres decides to sprint it. A new one which is popping up more frequently is The Vegan Runner - Dont worry they will tell you all about it. The Coach - Telling random people how they can run better while out running

[@ladylouroll2]

Oh yes the coach one i seem to keep having talk to me lately! 'extend your stride' and 'stay on your toes' dont you think im trying to do these things already haha, ah well they mean well :)

[@AnibalAlvarez]

I'm the sprinter, hahahahaha...

[@capeflatterytrail]

I think you are missing some important combinations, like the all-too-common "No Shirt, Short Shorts" runner, often that serious slow-twitch triathlete who can dust you in any distance longer than a mile. Then, there's my favorite, that most ridiculous of unicorns, the "No Shirt, Short Shorts, All The Gear" runner, covered with so much tech -- chest straps, smart glasses, foot pods, phone holsters, sodium patches, and other gadgets -- that perhaps clothing itself may be optional.

[@annam2483]

The Junction Jogger, especially in the near of traffic lights and cars.. 🙈🙈☺️

[@privette9282]

I have become the shirtless runner ( sometimes) but summers in South Carolina are BRUTAL. HAHA

[@savannameyers6156]

Same in Arizona because its over 100°

[@hairyairey]

I see female shirtless runners often. Usually they still have their sports bra on, but I know that Nell McAndrew has run without...

[@Mike-Migliaccio]

South Carolina summer runner checking in, every run is a shirtless run

[@stevenradlowski3968]

I'm from the north and currently live in Virginia (which is very south for me) so when I run in the summer, you bet your ass my shirt is off.

[@ryantherunner821]

5 is definately me! No matter what time i get up before a parkrun i always seem to get there just in time. Even got my 10k pb because of this running to the park run just as people were called into the funnel, literally chucked my bag into the pile and we were off. One of the only times ive ran a parkrun with a drink in hand to.

The shirtless runner! Yes, tons of them here in Florida. Many even run races like that, with their race number pinned to their shorts. It's like they totally skipped the singlet section of the running store; bought their shoes, shorts, and socks and got out of there.

[@michaelrockow5461]

I have also missed the starting gun in each of my last few races because I was in the port-a-potty. Does that make me a latecomer? I was there, I just have a tiny bladder.

[@jaxonbatten2215]

I live in west Texas and in the summer it gets up to 100 almost every day. So I am definitely shirtless with short shorts.

[@runningchannel]

That sounds reasonable! And VERY warm! 😅

[@Crayshack]

I set a 5k PR at a race where my watch measured the route as 3.06 miles. So, according to Garmin and Strava it isn't my PR even though I had smashed my old time by enough to still be well into PR territory with an extra 0.04 miles. It turned me into a bit of a distance denier. So, if you ever see me keep running full speed passed the finish line, it is because I want to make sure my watch believes me the next time I set a PR.

[@velodim]

Lol, I'll be with latest gear and running shirtless ))))
