Petty and juvenile is better than slow and chunky 5.5/10 times. Face it my genes will be passed on. Unfortunately for you natural selection will run its course and off each hobby jogger one by one.

Here are some of my top strategies:
1. Critique her form -- Criticize her arm carry or knee lift...it's easy way to get the conversation going. Girls typically love the advice.
2. Run up beside her and don't say anything -- let her initiate the conversation. I've found that girls are typically flattered if you slow down next to them, especially if it's clear that you can blow by them.
3. Challenger her to a race -- make it seem playful and funny. But actually be serious about it.
4. Show off your speed -- launch into a fatlek interval just before you pass her. Run at least sub 5 pace when you move by her (even if you can only sustain that for a minute). Then, slow down to a slow recovery jog and wait for her to catch-up. Then hit her with a, "Hey, sorry, did I scare you back there? I was just finishing a run at 5 minute mile pace."
5. If you're running on a popular trail or in a park with other people -- loudly berate other runners around her for terrible running form...but when you get to her, be like, "ah, finally, someone who knows how to run properly." Sort of the opposite of #1...but only works in certain circumstances.
Let me know how things work out for your friend.
You are a girl on LR. That's super weird already. To the original Poser: I have met many girls while running. One was walking home from the grocery store on the other side of the street and I was in running shorts, no shirt, weighing it at 135 lb at 5'11". I crossed the road and said "Hi, my name is ..... You are a beautiful woman. What is your name." This conversation resulted in her phone number and I walked her home carrying her groceries. Another girl was stopped to get water at a park while riding her bike. Repeat same story as above. It ain't that complicated. Just talk.

I'm a girl and I run. I wish I saw more guys out running who would talk to me. It would be super awkward at first, but it would be fun. Even if they totally geeked out about running... That would actually be ideal.
But I'm super weird, and I actually prefer to date runner guys.
Try asking her if her panties get really sweaty after running. If she tells you then you know she's a very kinky girl.

So, how many times have they called the police versus given you their phone number.
