Ive just started to notice other runners when I am driving around the place. Im guessing they havent just started to appear.
Today when I was driving home from St Andrews I noticed a couple of people and thought to myself, that would be a good route to run or blimmey, that hill would have been a killer.

Does anyone else notice others while your not running? i.e. driving to work.

Yeah i'm the same since i started running i've noticed more runners abouts. Guess its like when getting a new car once you own it it seems like everyone has the same car. We just become more consious of it!

yep... I notice them all the time, I tend to recognise all the regulars around my area now too

I like to give the "I know how you feel" nod when I walk past runners when I take my boy to Greenwich park or such like.
He now likes to shout "Look Daddy A runner" and points which can be embarassing!

It seems to me that runners can spot runners a mile away!

 

[Trinity]

it's the madness in the eyes :d

Its funny you say that, I notice some runners that I meet on my local route on the train and its funny seeing them in suits and ties rather than runner gear. I then try and work out what sort of job they have. Sad aint it but I need something to pass the time on the train in to work.
Ive never spoken to them though, thats just weird

You should say to them they look different with their clothes on............

 

[Owain]

lol, a secret runners nod sounds interesting. I would have thought a nod was a nod. Would the runners version be with a sweaty face?

Hehehehehe

Running's not hugely popular over here; you see one or two around, particularly now it's summer, but cycling and roller-blading are more in fashion

I notice people more since I started jogging, my other half does too. He once saw a local bloke running along the road towards town and was amazed at his balls, braveness that is not his.....you know! lol. I wouldnt have thought running in the road alongside the traffic would be safe but plenty of people do it round here.

...doesn't that worry you?!:d

Trust you to lower the tone!

 

[Steve]

Well If I didn't someone else would.......

 

[richardsimkiss]

Yup... I'd certainly have made a similar comment!

I often find myself running alongside traffic in the road... quite often I take up lanes at roundabouts as if I'm a vehicle :lol: it's either that or stopping and waiting to be let accross, which simply isn't going to happen at 5:30pm next to an industrial estate!

Also great is the feeling of skipping between and past cars as they queue in teh traffic

 

[Steve]

I just love doing that RS.....we have a notorious section of road here...I can get overtaken by a car and then 5 mins later skip past it as it waits forever at lights and/or for the train...love it!!
