This is a fairly common problem seen by us, the chosen runners. What I have found to be the best defense against these brainless, lack of fitness individuals is the following:
- turn to face the little penis face
- drop my shorts
- point to my 'junk'
- yell 'GOBBLE, GOBBLE M*THER F*CKERS'
- continue on my run
you don't give insulin to a person when hypoglycemic. you give them sugar.
I once saw a guy with a fuel belt (4pk) at a 5k race.

I get that also. Its amazing how gullible people are. They believe they will die of "dehydration" unless they take in special fluids every X mins. Its quite a remarkable marketing job in this land of "caveat emptor". The Science of Sport website (http://www.sportsscientists.com) has some good info. on dehydration if you're inclined to investigate how silly joggers are on this (and other) subjects.
Speaking of gullible, apparently some people believe that the OP was not making this story up?
The time it takes a jogger to cover the same distance that a runner cover is longer. they are on their feet and exposed for a longer period of time so they need the hydration.
I once kept a friend company for the last half of a marathon she finished in 6 hrs. Those 3hrs on my feet at that slow pace was torture. it was more exhusting than the 2:40 marathon i ran a month later.
I don't know why everyone is dissing the joggers.
You all wish you could jog prelims and Relays like Andrew Wheating.
you actually give them glucagon.
Did you know the prisoners never cheered that line but the cheering was added later for the record.

If it's a cat, more likely you give him some Karo syrup.

The other day a "jogger" offered me a drink of gatorade after my run. I was like, "dude, I only jogged 18 miles at 4:50 pace". Then I knocked the drink out of his hand and went to do my 12 mile cool down.
Do joggers really think I need to hydrate after easy runs? Pa-lease...........
He shouldn't have offered you a drink. He should have offered to teach you some job skills so you could earn some money to purchase you own hydration pack.
I am old enough to recall a time when we didn't call it 'hydration' we just called it 'drinking water.' I'm not saying that the hydration craze is totally without merit, but it seems that somewhere along the line the word went out of control. I read somewhere that Timothy Noakes has documented quite a few cases of over-hydration (water on the brain maybe) where people had been advised to drink way too much water for running.
It's a similar case to "road rage." We always had discourteous driving, but around the mid 90's someone coined the clever alliterative "road rage" and it became a thing unto itself. Laws were passed, police squads were formed, etc.
The interplay between language and behavior is interesting...
Even Geb runs a business, has a wife and kids, and manages to find a bit of time for running.
Or you can spike a bag of D5 and establish that both blood sugar levels and hydration are met.

whoa, don't know how in the world this ended up in this thread. Was meant for the one where the kid can't juggle a girlfriend and running. That's really wierd.
