Run in a giant hamster ball. If you plug up the air holes then the lack of oxygen is almost like high altitude training.

I'm concerned for Banana Bread, either:
1) His primary social interaction is this board, and the negative hostility here is becoming a part of his personality, or
2) He is getting sloppy as a troll and falling out of character.
I like the old Banana Bread!
And to answer the question: Wear shorts/pants with a large brown stain in the back, and/or carry fart spray. Likely just as effective as pepper spray for the case presented.
Just say hi.

See, this is why men and women should interact more honestly and share ideas with each other. This is a perfect way to ward off annoying perverts and dopes. Thanks for the suggestion!

The key is that you can't be predictable. If a true predator is watching you, and knows you reach for the pepper spray when a weirdo approaches, then he'll adjust his game accordingly to get close to you. So what do you do? It may seem awkward, but when you're on your usual running route, you need to periodically pepper spray some perfectly nice guy that wasn't even bothering you. You will soon get a reputation among the predator-types as the crazy-ass pepper spray lady and they will leave you the f alone.
Be a hard 7 or lower. If he persists, tell him you just started your period and you can’t really talk.
Bust out them claws and claw his monkey a$$ to pieces.

Not every man you see on the trail is an incel.....I usually wish every person I meet on the trail a good morning (5am) and is usually returned in kind.
Agreed.
My other suggestion is to wait. I don't know how old you are now, but by the time you're in your 50s you will become utterly invisible to men.

You can't stop men from being men unfortunately. Find some odor that you can tolerate and wear it as perfume while you run. If you stink a man isn't going to want to say hi...

Why are people acting like guys are just out to abuse women. I'm a nice guy and have respect for women. I never attack anybody. Some of us are trying to find our soulmates. We are not all just out looking for action. I'm looking for a girl I can stay with and that I can stay with forever. If I got hostile reactions like people here give I would just call them a hobby jogger and gobble gobble mf and sprint of into the sunset ahead of them. I'm not interested in interacting with crazy people which most people here are. Take a chill pill and be greatful that someone was interested in you in the first place.
Is it really that hard to understand that women do not like to be bothered while working out?

Would you like your Mom busting in on you while you’re trying to bust a nut? Because that’s how female runners feel when strangers like you approach them.
Jesus Christ, the feminist are out on this thread. Never realized saying hi to someone was so triggering. Even when I am running hard I do not find it hard just to wave to someone who is trying to be friendly.
Just bust out the goods. Most runner guys are afraid of assertive woman, so you’ll be alone on that run in no time.

Fantastic and suddenly embarrassed? I doubt it.
It’s not triggering it’s just annoying. Saying hi to somebody is fine, trying to chat somebody up during their tempo run is not.
