At what point do you feel like you’re “running”?

When that sweet, sweet feel of fentanyl-laced GU hits the back of my salivating mouth, 2 miles into my 3 mile long run😋😋you just can’t beat it!!! I usually get a runners high around the 2.5 mark, and I can start feeling my legs pump as I break the 9:30 min/mile barrier, but it’s a good pain!! I’d say it REALLY feels like running as I drop to the ground, sprawled 50 meters from my house foaming at the mouth, my body uncontrollably spazzing. If you don’t know that feeling, envy me!!!

Woah 9:30 min/mile?? That’s on a bike right?

If they’re biking then they aren’t a runner

Uh, my Strava feed says otherwise.

I can identify as a runner, whether I cycle or drive. How else do I grab those strava segments?

Not til I hear the engine of the 2014 Toyota Camry purring

I like this subreddit, but I don't get this reference.
FWIW, my wife is a strong proponent of the 2012-2914 Toyota Camry. Having driven more recent models, that era certainly seems to be made better.

There was a post a while back of someone who thought they broke a world record, running with no training in a parking lot with his friends' car's speedometer driving alongside him to measure his speed. He also claimed in the comments that since his forearms had giant veins running through them, this was a sign of great athleticism.
here is the original post, and here is a reveddit with the comments.
My first car was a Camry; they're really nice vehicles.

Thank you. This is fantastic

I can usually tell when my shins shatter that I’m running

If you're running, you're doing it wrong.
Anytime I feel like I might be running I slow down as much as possible. Can't risk my shins.

Don’t forget about those knees, you’ll literally grind them to dust if you go too fast

When I run against the wind I sound faster.

When people's jaws drop and they take out flags to celebrate my incredible, perfect running form!

At which hour people's chaps drop and they taketh out flags to bray out mine own incredible, perfect running form!

"taketh" is the older form of "takes". "They takes"? I don't think so. Sorry, bot, I'm an English major.

I leave that decision up to Strava.

For me it’s when the penis goes in

I let my Garmin make those kinds of technical determinations. My simple human brain isn't up to that challenge.

When I get up off the couch. Look at all those losers I’m beating

when I go to r/RunningShoeGeeks and downvote everything but outsoles and endorphin speed 2s

I am engorged.

That moment when I drop halfway through my workout… Now THATS when I’m really running.
