Sick of not training people asking if I’m ok while running

They are clueless and coddled. Tell them to fack off. Seriously.

So people show concern about your well-being and you only have contempt for them. I think you need to get a clue about life.

When ever I run on the street early morning, when I do intervals or any hard session, between the intervals when I rest and catching my breath, all kinds of people that don’t run and don’t have a clue about running ask me if I’m ok and if I need help when they see me catching my breath after an interval or at the end of a fast run, or even when I’m stretching on the ground they think something is wrong. Even when I do sprints on the street, even guys that jog ask me if everything is ok, as though the only “ok” way to run is a slow jog while talking nonstop to a running partner.

Sick of that

Interesting. I do intervals on the street around 5:30am regularly. If I ever do see people they usually say something like, “Holy s*it!! Get it, bro!”, “You are flying!!!”, or “Wow... wish I could run like that!” or something to that effect.

Granted they never see me panting like a dog on the ground because I jog 7:30-8:00 pace during my recovery.

Next time they offer help I’ll say that I do need some help, some money- then we’ll see how concerned they are about me

I do hill runs that end at a bus stop, and intervals in a heavily used park, and I've never had anyone say anything to me.

You must be making a big narcissistic fuss of your suffering. Better to walk like you've been there before.

Are you one of those fools who bends over and grabs your knees, or worse, lies down between repeats? I'd say people are right to check on you. Learn to do workouts properly, and stop being Shakespeareian.

Run on threadmill

Train don't strain.

Be glad they care. A few years back I was having some vertigo issues. I was training for my first ultra when on mile 22 on a huge hill the world started spinning. I fell down and was so scared I couldn’t get up. I wished that someone would of stopped but they did not. Luckily I was able to get up after 10 minutes of trying and called on my cell for help.

Trust me there will be time that you will need someone to help. You want that.

That must be very frustrating. I bet it grows tiresome!

Are you okay?

How bad do you look?

You're in running gear and people are concerned for you, you must be an absolute mess.

Yeah, even if I do intervals on the track (and jog a lap in between) I've been told I need to "learn to pace myself." It's sort of amusing.

make yourself look like the homeless and you could die on the street for all they care. Virtually invisible. Try it.

I bet what they actually said was "You disgrace yourself."

I think you misinterpreted what they were asking.

They probably had a stop watch on your interval and were just curious if maybe you were injured or had dead legs and needed to push the workout a day.
