“Do you listen to music, wear the top of the line running gear? If so, then you must be a Hobby Jogger!”....???

If you're talking about news and events about distance running, then lead with something like this -
1: There's some pretty solid commentary on this at let's run dot com.
or
2: Did you hear about the latest doper? I get my running news from the Let's Run website.
or
3: Do you have source for running news, analysis, and/or comentary?.... Interesting, I use LRC.
Insert the 4th sentence with: "...so I was at [insert local running store name], and I can't prove it, but I SWEAR I saw this dude take a dump in a compression sock."
I know my girlfriend’s coworker reads letsrun. He showed up to their office costume contest as a “hobby jogger”

Yep, that Trump election caused the stock market to totally TANK!
I never said it would.
Some good responses. A lot of these either reference LRC directly or would sound crazy to someone out of the loop, both violations of the OP.
I actually really like changing the inflection of "have you ever heard of Jordan Hasay?" That would be a sure queue to any reader of the boards, and could be worked into casual conversation a lot easier than asking someone how far they could run off of pure hate.

do they Make 250k/year, have a supermodel wife and run a 14-mid 5k? If so, yes. If not, why bother asking
If they have all of that, no need to ask.
whip out your junk and yell "GOBBLE GOBBLE M' F'ER".
It may turn out they do not read LR but they just like crappy movies.
Ask them if
1) The DOW is down
or
2) bananas is good for runners

Beat me to it!
The Mike Rossi thing is almost a dead giveaway that person is, or at least has been, on this site. I guess the only time it wouldn't apply is if you are talking someone from the Philly area and they refer to him as the 2 time (soon to be 3 time) Philly Loser of the Year.
"Do you keep it on the 'crete?"
Insert comment about "hobbyjoggers."
I've actually said this and a guy said, "You read letsrun, too?!"
Three simple things.
Drop in a "Rupp Certified" somewhere in the conversation
Tell them you'll be in Kona and Paolo knows how to find you
If it's fellow runner, casually say "Is (Runners Name) Update?"

Poor choice. Stolen/borrowed from slowtwitch.
Ask them if they've ever done a 5 x 18
Do they run at all? If so ask:
1) Do you run in place when waiting at a stoplight?
2) Ask them if they call it a PR or PB.
3) Ask them if they call them strides or striders.
4) If they do/accomplish something good or surprising call them by their full first and last name with MF in between.
That's what I got off the top of my head.

PS- I forgive you.
Well then those people don't read letsrun.
I don't forgive you for being a moran and neither does your imaginary friend.
I imagine He does :-)
