Dear Potential Research Participant,

My name is James FitzGerald and I am a doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology Psy.D. program at Alliant International University in Sacramento, CA. I am currently conducting a study looking at personality traits in competitive and recreational distance runners.
If you are 18 years of age or older and have either run an average of at least 22 miles per week over the past year or ever competed in a distance running race at the collegiate level or higher, I invite you to take part in a brief, 10-minute survey. All responses will be
anonymous.

Update: that's not quite accurate. What I mean is that your survey screens out people who incidentally don't meet your criteria--for example, people who have an injury or other limited situation that prevents them from running.

I’m 61 and haven’t hit 22 miles/week in years. But I’m pretty sure the “or have ever competed in a distance running race at be collegiate level” means I’m in.

Me too. The answer options are kind of strange for some questions, but good survey. Interested to see the results.

No need for a survey. They are mostly insecure social outcasts trying to fill a void with jogging. They lack the ability to rationalize and dislike people that can. For the most part they are a miserable bunch. All the evidence is contained in these threads.

Transphobia is a well known personality disorder amongst distance runners, especially the hobby variety.

Most distance runners are inordinately self-conscious of their streamlined physiques, and insufficiently aware of their massive appendages.

Alliant International? You couldn't get into the University of Phoenix?

This "research" is going nowhere.

re: James FitzGerald

It always surprises me how small minded these studies are. They always think of the questioned subject in a very specific way. In this case that all runners started in school on track and some of them made it to World Championships. I am sure there is one subject like this out there but most here are hobby joggers of a big range of talent from quick track runners over sub 2:30 Marathoners to ultrarunners in ages from 14 -84 or so.

Yep, I discovered that too.
