___you equate hobby jogger as a literal term based on time or pay, rather than a broad encompassing of any runner who's amateur hour.

An amateur is someone who doesn't get paid, so I'm confused about the distinction you are trying to make here.

An amateur can indeed get paid, and amateur hour is different to the literal term of an amateur.

Stay confused though, life will be simpler for you this way.

If you say that were on track to reach X time until mile 20 🙄

When you wake up and realize that everyone is a hobbyjogger

Just as an FYI, I'm sure Kenny B thinks anyone who runs slower than 13:20 is a hobby jogger.

you wear shorts over your tights.

you boast about training for a race and assume anyone cares

Your wife looks at you with sympathetic, yet pained anxiety after your recent failed Olympic Trials race.

Time to talk to the local high school about teaching openings. You're a hobby jogger!

You walk around with a medal around your neck.

Thread over.

You run your easy runs at your marathon pace.

If you are not getting paid to run, you are a hobby jogger.

I'll include scholarship in getting paid.

I think there's merit to use hobby jogger as a way to describe foolish behaviour, rather than just a non-elite runner. You know the behaviour, the ones where we find ourselves making this emoji 🙈

Triggered, hobby jogger?

You think that tweaking your nutrition is the main fix to your problems when you only run 40 mpw lol!

1. You're on Strava more for social reasons than to track your mileage.

If I don't even know what Strava is, does that mean I'm NOT a hobby jogger? Or doesn't the reverse work in certainties like that?

If you don't wear split shorts or half tights

or every single run is at the same pace. Your marathon pace is your 5k pace is your easy pace is your half pace, etc.
