I've wondered this while on the treadmill. I will sometimes see another person on it, and think they look like they are moving pretty well. Then I'll peek at the mph and see that I'm actually going faster than them, and I haven't even really got into my run yet. So, do others look at me and think I'm going fast? Or is it like the other poster said, and it doesn't look like I'm going fast because the pace is "easy" for me and I look comfortable?
One time I was running 6 minute pace on a treadmill next to a guy who was running just under 7 minute pace. I was also running farther. A young woman walked up to us and gushed all over him about how fast he was running and how impressed she was. My initial thought was wtf, but then realized the contrast between a young attorney versus middle aged software developer in the young woman's eyes.
