Runners are like snowflakes: no two are the same. While some people run with the all the ease of a leopard, others… well, let’s stick with the African animal theme here and say we’ve seen baby giraffes move more elegantly.
Whether you’re a running evangelical or a total non-believer, we promise you’ll find yourself on this list.
1. The Forrest Gump
You don’t necessarily look like ‘a runner’. You don’t necessarily have the technique of ‘a runner’. But damn, son, once you hit that footpath you’re indefatigable. Hell, you could probably run across the country if you didn’t have a day job/family/general life responsibilities to attend to.
2. The Kamikaze Runner
Your running style is... exuberant, to say the least. If you've ever noticed your fellow joggers moving out of your way - right out of your way... It might be because you're a Kamikaze Runner. But hey, if Phoebe Buffay is wrong, who wants to be right?
3. The Evangelical Runner
Even rate, strong technique, steady breathing... you have the running technique mere mortals can only dream of. Your daily 10k trot would look amazing set to the tune of Chariots of Fire.
4. The Hannah Horvath
Basically, you've never run without being bribed first. And you don't go without a fight.
5. The 'In It To Win It' Runner
Whether you're at the gym or in the park, you approach every running opportunity with the cut-throat determination of a Hunger Games tribute. A run = a race, and coming second is not an option. Most of the time, the jogger next to you isn't aware of this.
6. The Incidental Runner
The only time you're running is when you're running... late. If you added up all those manic dashes you've made for the bus over your lifetime it'd equal at last one marathon, so you're pretty much an Olympic athlete by now.
7. The Hamster
In your eyes, the treadmill isn't a hobby - it's a lifestyle choice. You either have, or dream of having, one installed in your bedroom.
