There are at least 50 joggers on the track

Great to see so many people getting fit!

Looks like you're going to run in lane 3 and 4 a lot tonight.

Oh yeah? My track occasionally has middle aged Asian women who walk side by side and take up all 6 lanes. When they're not there, it's people who are walking in lane 1 despite their being a sign that that lane is for people who are actually running. At least your track has people that run, ours has walkers, bikers and groups of people that take up all six lanes and give you a dirty confused look when you explain to them or ask them to take up less lanes.

Someone is posting about this somewhere else and YOU are included in the 50.

Where?

Email to friends or their local running group probably.

But I thought someone it was an obvious inference that everyone is a jogger to someone.

In all likelihood jamin is much faster than all 50.

Randos were in every lane all around the track

Mine has parents teach their kids to ride bikes and just today there was someone riding one of those E-skateboards with one big wheel in the middle

You must be a hoot at parties. It was kidding the guy.

If the world record holder happened to be using the track, a 4:20 guy would be a 'jogger' to him if he was trying to do a workout.

Lighten up Francis!

The world record holder is Hicham El Guerrouj. I don't think he would be doing a workout and is currently in "jogger" shape at best.

Find a different track or do your workout somewhere else. Tracks near popular parks, beaches, etc. are often nearly empty. You won't be able to do anything about these bozos so you might as well adopt the most pragmatic solution you can think of.

Drive your car out on the track. Do some hot laps.

This is a great example of resource misallocation caused by socialism. I'm jealous of people in the UK who pay to use their local club's track without all the proles getting in the way

You would never see this sort of shameful display in Kiev, Jamin. Come do your track sessions here.

Proles? Randos? Lol

Good to know the two of you are annoyed xD

Where is this track? Evidently it's fitness oriented and not allocated for those who are seeking a place to do serious training. Unfortunately I don't think you'll get much sympathy from most people if you want to do an actual workout there.

I can’t understand why anyone would want to live in such a congested area. I’ve been bringing my kids to our local track and it’s always empty with the exception of a few high school kids in the fields. An occasional adult, that’s it. I’m in a town of 20,000 that is probably the biggest ‘sports’ town in my state. I am grateful... and I’m old and slow at this point, so I really don’t even need a track. It would not be fun to be a competitive young runner trying to deal with a crowded track.

Great
