Act anywhere remotely close to how Matt Choi or David Goggins act.
Choi is a clown and anyone who enjoys Goggins needs to wipe the drool off their chins and put their crayons away

Thinking your race times are in any way impressive to other people.
I absolutely hated the Instagram trend of people acting like someone said, “You’re so lucky to be in great running shape”, followed by a montage of Strava activities to showcase “the luck”. Nobody has ever said those words. It’s just stupid.

Not running the tangents in a race. You see it all the time on courses with wide, windy roads. Most people just mindlessly follow the yellow line, and if you want to take the shorter route you have to keep crossing over their path.
It’s not hard, people. Look up. Does the next curve go left? Then run towards the left curb.

1. Runners who talk non-stop with their buddies while tempoing a road race.
2. Runners who shortcut road races by running on sidewalks in corners.
3. Runners who immediately make excuses for a subpar performance in a race, such as "I trained through that one."

Desmond O'Connor got DQed for cutting across the parking lot at the CCC.
runners with very strange form
really boggles my mind
just unbelievable how some of these people unnaturally contort themselves when they run. sometimes it looks like they just naturally run like that and they cant help it. if its weird enough, thats annoying.
but much worse is people where it looks like they are consciously forcing it as if they are copying what they have seen on youtube or some famous runner or some bogus form guide. like some people jogging a long slowly yet they have very unnaturally high knee lifts and back lifts. or bounding like a gazelle. so many other types ive seen as well. its just bizarre.
and yes i have seen myself run in a mirror and i know for a FACT i am not one of those people, even if I am not the best runner in the world.

It's this, nothing else comes close. Narcissistic and really intrusive to others.

Compression shorts. They look dumb as hell. Split shorts = much better
They are ok in a race/competition or on a track doing a workout. They look stupid on guys every where else. Even more so when you are running 7 minutes per mile and slower.
People who post on Strava that they treated a race as a tempo when 99.99% of people run a race to race and when their time isnt what they expected after giving an all out effort to start call it a "tempo" to save face.

Most annoying thing I see runners do:
posting on strava.
When people run faster than my 16:26 5k PR obviously. So obnoxious.
When people jog in place as they wait for the light to change.
Talking at all during a race, changing pace to either pass or not be passed by someone they don't know on an easy run, justifying a bad race performance before the race starts ("I'm not really in shape," "Just treating this as a workout," etc).
Smack their legs on the starting line. Like that's gonna do anything
People who move to and become citizens of other countries because it’s easier to make the World/Olympic team. This includes anyone recruited by a federation or government or fast tracked by military or corporation.
People who are genetically male competing in a females only race.
Compression shorts help when you need your phone, gels or other accessories and not have them bounce around in your pockets.
