I cannot stand running on my gym's track when people are there. There's an initiative in my town to give fats free passes to the walking track in the winter if they're at risk of the beetus and they walk three abreast and block the entire way because the track is so small. It's easier to just use the treadmill.

I find I have a little more, I don't know, incentive? Drive? Determination? On the track, just because I can push myself and say "alright, just to the end of this lap" rather than "alright, just until this number on the screen changes to 4". But to each their own.
And free passes to the track? That's bullshit. Hang on while I go put 200 pounds on, maybe then I'll get pity handouts too.

Yeah, I zone out bad on treadmills which isn't always bad. But it's -20C outside so gotta tough it until winter.
I was jealous until I remembered all the money I save on not buying disgusting food, blood testing strips, and early caskets.

The part I don't understand is why they wear such heavy makeup (or makeup at all) to the track. Like, why?? It will have gone wrong if you want to take post-"workout" selfies (the only thing that's getting out is sweat and makeup), so you can't do that. Doing a before selfie has no real meaning...
What???

I street run to clear my mind, treadmill running isn't the same, I feel like a hamster on a wheel when I do that. But the fats I encounter are deaf, blind and dumb. They can hear me running up the road behind them, they turn to see me and yet they don't move to the side. I barge through them and keep going, they can yell and huff at me all they want- my music drowns them out well before I pass them.

Same for the bike trails around my town. There are parts where it's wide enough to accommodate 8 humans to walk side by side yet the fat fucks still manage to block it off completely with as few as 2 (it's all in the arms sticking out, swinging about as they waddle).
"On your left" is the polite, quick way to let people know you're about to pass them, humans typically have a quick "Shit, which side's left again?" moment, laugh, then greet you as you pass by. Cows? They'll just completely ignore you. It's gotten to the point where I'll have to ride a couple of feet directly behind them yelling "ON YOUR LEFT" louder and louder until they snap out of their food fantasies, then call me an asshole as they give me the minimum amount of space to squeeze by.

I run streets as well. I've made comments in the past about traffic and fatties and the general shit one comes across while running in public. It's annoying, at the very least, and dangerous at the other end of the spectrum.
It never fails to amaze me how people can be so obnoxious toward others that they'll look over their shoulder if you're running in the same direction, coming up behind them, and yell out "runner passing right" or something to similar effect, and they, after looking and seeing you, still refuse to move over and allow room to pass on the sidewalk. It's one of the main reasons I rarely use sidewalks anymore and just stick to the shoulder of the road. Because even running toward them while they walk in your direction, they just don't. fucking. move. Which means you're off the sidewalk again, anyway. I've had fatties yell shit at me, some rude shit, some shit about my body/ass/whatever, but I just keep going. They're not worth the hassle.
Although, I will admit, there is some allure to just running right into their group and seeing if I can't knock any over, for personal satisfaction and comedic effect, at least.

definitely my thoughts as well, I would rather knock them over than run into a car. In the mornings they are rarely on the street, except when they want to waddle from their car to the nearest dunkin' or starbucks, and in that moment I make it my personal mission to topple their beetus drinks.

Some days I don't want to run for whatever reason. And then I remember the looks of hate fat people give me when I pass them. And that gets me out the door to be fitshamed another day.

This doesn't make any sense. I can easily understand how they can be so dense as to block the whole track, but how do you not realise this after someone has run through you several times? It's stuff like this that makes me wonder if they are so inconsiderate on purpose. I would think they are deliberately going out of their way to annoy you if I didn't know they weren't that smart.

A 15 minute walk while having a Frappuccino, CICO, they ended their walk fatter than when they started.

A fat at my gym drinks a huge Gatorade and makes a spectacle of himself. He's recently started wearing knee braces because he does things with such shit form. I almost went over and told him to stop doing some stupid shit which was dangerous....almost. I'm just waiting for him to get really injured, give up, and stop bothering me.

I'm confused. If they already had their starbeetus during their "workout", how are they going to celebrate afterwards??

There was a ham on the indoor track today at my gym that would brisk walk 1 lap....then half-dance some routine in the corner, sit on her phone for 10 mins. Then repeat. At least she wasnt taking up space on a machine and not using it, but she was fully proud of her body wearing a way to small "stylish" sports bra with back detailing that clearly shows it offers no support and some see through leggings....and she smelled. Fuck off.

That's Just... way too much. I think I just threw up in my mouth. Please tell me it had something on over that, please... please?
[–] lemmonjello ago
Of course not. She was clearly "proud" of her lard lumps.
