You're me
You're me
You heel strike
or
You bite your hobby medal after you finish your 5K
You have 5lbs of water strapped to your waist.
Saying you are a hobby jogger if you are not paid or on scholarship means that every single high school runner in the country, including the best one, is a hobby jogger.
That is why this definition is dumb.
Blah blah blah if…You get your running gear at the Salvation Army Thrift Store.

My daughter does this. She's 1 years old. Found my old medals. But she doesn't run. Is she a hobby jogger?

You're a hobby jogger if you buy new expensive gear. You're only not if you gear is at least 5 years old (minimum, 10 years is better) and have permastink despite being washed occasionally.

She's a snowflake, worse than a hobby jogger. Get that medal off of her neck and make her start workouts. I told my kid to get that goddam snowflake mentality off his game completely. He got a lot better. Don't let your kids be precious snowflakes. Snow is weak, snow melts.
You are a hobby jogger if jogging is your hobby.

Permastink- classic real runner.

Dude, there are pro runners out there who haven't even been running for a full 10 years.
...caring about how you look affects your ability to get out the door and run!
...you wear shorts over tights because you're worried about tights not looking cool!
SHORTS OVER TIGHTS

This. The end.
If you get triggered when you hear the term hobby jogger.This thread is staying alive:

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 🙈
If you don't run professionally but instead run because you enjoy it.

Let me guess... you run 19:30 and think you're pretty "serious" about running. Wake up call: I am 48 years old and run around 17 flat and I am a total, absolute hobby jogger. 19:30 is a few seconds faster than my 5k splits in a marathon, ffs.
I know someone who trains like a complete hobbyjogger but has broken 14:00. He chooses workouts randomly and they’re quite different (one was 4x1k at 3:20, not joking, while another was 24x1k at 3:10, 1:00 rest - as many as he could do until he dropped). Do his times preclude him from being a hobbyjogger?
