Only when you couple it with the ironic hipster 'stache (stash'n 'stache)
Hey...I'm a late 50s hobby jogger, and by no means fast. I wear a fanny pack and the old gals love it. They tell me at races that I look "hip" and appear as a sophisticated joggerðŸ‘. I was even complemented by the race director at a local 5k once on how spiffy my fanny pack looked. She said "nice fanny pack old timer...what's ya got in there?" I said just the usual like "gel packs, baby aspirin, wrist bands, head bands, chap stick, sun screen, tissue, rolaids." She said "awesome!"....."you're one well prepared jogger" 😄.
No, it's never cool to do that. Out of curiosity how fast is "actually fast"?

That's hilarious! It's almost like you're making fun of hobby joggers. No one has ever done that before on Letsrun.

Next time wear it in the front and reply "let me show you what I'm packing"
Very cool. Better yet, combine it with a pair of cheap cotton shorts and a ratty t-shirt, then destroy all the "serious" runners in their $50 running shorts and fancy singlets.
Where's the irony?
correct, no irony here
reminds me of the dumbest song ever written (Ironic by Alanis Morrisette). songwriter clearly doesn't know the difference between irony and Murphy's law
Whats cool is doing what makes you happy, regardless of what other insecure people might think. I wear fanny pack type things all the time depending on situation. Always be prepared. Also, I'm a cyclist and I don't shave my legs and sometimes I even wear a camelback! The horror of it all!

Okay...I'll try that if I can stop laughing 😂.
if I'm ever able to consistently win local 5Ks (need low 16s I think), then I'm gonna be in costume.
Im a slow runner that pretends to be a fast runner that pretends to be a slow runner who wears a fanny pack ironically, but then in an ironic way.
If you are The Rock in Central Intelligence you can pull it off. Everyone else should not.

Define "spiffy."
The irony is that most people donning fanny packs are nice whereas the OP surprises them by being a douche.

"Neat or interesting," is the main definition (it's a more popular term used in older times). And I'm thinking of getting my initials engrave on the fanny pack (i.e., "HJH"). Fanny packs rule! 😉.
It would ironic to wear a fanny pack with nothing in it.
I would like to see Rudisha line up with a FP at the 800m final in London this summer.
