What do non runners think of us?

By non runners I mean non sporty, couch potato types.
Envy, indifference or think we're barking mad?

on the day of the televising of the london
marathon & GNR - inspirational heroes.
(ex non-sporty, couch potato)
Occasionally they are impressed.
three told me it wasn't worth my effort cos i was so slow and they could walk it quicker than that.
I got upset and then i got faster
The half marathoners i thought of as complete nutters and the full marathoners i thought of as obsessive lunatics!!
Now there's an admission for you!
And we're nuts.
People at work think running is a bit masochistic but the spend time complaining that there latest fad diet is rubbish. Those that I have convince to start running love it to the verge of obsessiveness!
BTW I don't think there is a massive difference between running and joggging. Certainly not speed and time as that is very individual and most people vary it from training session to training session anyhow.
very stereo typed but quite funny.
for example
joggers were thick woolly jogging bottoms, full make up, inluding nail varnish (unless male) and have very white plymsoles
If you're happy to be a jogger, then you are a jogger.
There. My Final Pronouncement on the matter.
Seeya Sunday Dave ! Watch out for those bats !
So a runner who jogs or a jogger who runs?
Pace is individual, I think if you're pushing yourself you are running.
Regarding jogging - I think it depends on the level of effort. I jog on my warm ups/downs but not on my normal runs.
There are joggers out there who don't push themselves, maybe not here on Runners World eh?
The next day she was telling her (non-running) sister about it. Her sister said "Oh, well now you've done it, you can find some other sport you're more suited to."
Wife, not pleased. Her sister wouldn't be able to walk 13 miles never mind run it.
(and to you too Jj)
Jenny, no, those are "easy recovery runs"
Not jogs
Jenny I've read on here a number of times when people have said after a race that they felt that they could have gone faster.
Personally, there has been many times in my training when I know I could have run fater but didn't because at the moment I'm more concerned with time on my feet and distance not speed /time.
