Girl told me ''I'm not sure how I feel about you doing this'' when I explained to her how much/where I run

She is a narcissist. Nobody cares how shw feels about it. You dodged a bullet. Move on.

What she thinks is irrelevant. You do you buddy

That type of running and training is something most people have no notion of. It's probably hard for many people to wrap their heads around. Running up and down mountains on technical trails for fun? It's an acquired taste.

Also, it's better than telling her "this is where I to shoot up pretty much every day"

Or she might wonder if she wants to get involved with someone who spends so much time on what is ultimately a very trivial and self-centered activity. All your energy spent on an activity that produces nothing of lasting value.

He spends 1 to 2 hours a day running. What's wrong with that? Most people spend more time than that watching garbage on Netflix.

I met my wife when I was 33 and running 50 mpw and 30-31 minute 10k 5-6x a year. She is a Mayo Clinician and thought that this was a shocking piece of indulgence and had very little to do with general fitness. I quit. Gained a little weight but started a 3-4 day a week fitness program. Life really got better. I wasn't as tired and my athletic ability came back. I also just focused on her and work. My career took off.

Give her a chance. She's being on the level with you.

8/10

That's weird. Ask her why she feels that way. Maybe it's legitimate. If not find someone else whose on your wavelength.

Background: I consider myself a competitive mountain-ultra-trail runner. I run ~90-120 mpw mostly on trails, 99% of the time solo.

So me and this girl went on a hike in some pretty remote trails where I love to train. When I told her that I run in those kind of trails pretty much every day, she looked at me like I was some kind of freak/weirdo and told me she wasn't sure how that made her feel?

To be fair, I can understand her reaction but I was wondering if any of you have experienced any similar situations?

she doesn't sound like an even passable communicator. dump her after dumping her pics ITT.

Could it be the danger that she’s concerned about? Some of those mountain trails can be extremely dangerous from what I have seen.

You were running between 30 and 31 on 50 mpw at age 33? That's pretty damn good.

But why does a doctor think 50 minutes of exercise a day is a shocking amount?

Does she understand that you're not just randomly out there hiking / jogging but that you're also talented / skilled and competitive? I think I would think it was odd if a guy I met just randomly hiked for 90 minutes or more every day by himself. On the flip side, I don't think it's weird for a competitive trail / mountain runner to *train* that much.

Compared to the average human, you are an odd bird. You should find someone who loves you for it. My husband is an odd bird, and I wouldn't have him any other way.

Excellent troll thread

Also better than telling her that's where you've been going to the bathroom.
