The other day I was running in the street at around 5:30 am, still in the dark. I noticed ahead another young dude jogging at half the speed I was. Suddenly when I got to him and was about to pass him, he switched to a faster pace so that I won’t pass him. What are you a three year old???
Aren’t such people pathetic?
You should learn how to not be such a slow piece of sh!t and just run faster.
Most people huff and puff up chests with enough wind to pass me just to settle into same pace 4 feet ahead of me, passing gas or slow down and I pass them in turn. In bicycling it is even worse: every morning Manhattan bridge turns into Tour de Giro, very pathetic. At least with running: there are no motorizing options (for now, nike is working on it)
Odds are pretty good that guy spent some time behind bars in the 'big house'. I did some time on the inside and, once you live that life, you never want someone to come up behind you. You are taught that the only way to stay safe is to stay away. IF SOMEONE IS RUNNING UP BEHING ME I ALWAYS HIT ANOTHER GEAR AND MOVE OUT. I typically put some distance between us before getting my shiv to make sure I can handle any issues. Rarely have I felt the need to cut the other guy/gal, but it has happened.
Peace. OUT.
Yeah, that kid needs to learn that you at least look down at your watch, pretend to hit a button, put your head down, and then take off as if you're beginning a repetition. Otherwise, you slow down even more to let the person pass, say several jovial greetings, and make it clear that you're just out for a shakeout jog and can obviously go faster when you want to since you're able to talk so well.

OP just run your own pace. If the guy speeds up and doesn't want you passing him just draft on him and make it awkward on purpose. Guaranteed they'll slow down or take off then. This goes both ways too, if someone is coming up strong on you let off the gas just a little bit and just let them go. If you're running the same pace then change routes when the moment is right.
