Does the weather effect runners friendliness?
posted 12 months agoOver the winter months I’ve noticed a predominant theme with the friendliness between runners as we pass one another on the trail in comparison the warmer months — this theme is the stranger the weather or just the less “perfect” conditions for a run it is the more likely you will be to receive a “Hey!”, a wave back, a head nod or even just a smile. Being someone who most always waves to fellow runners it’s nice to get at least a wave back. Not only does it make your run more enjoyable it also makes it feel less like you are running alone (which is what I do most often).
Despite the title of the post I don’t think that the more unconventional the weather is for running the friendlier the runners are I just think that the people who run in the unconventional weather just enjoy running more and want to connect with other runners and are more in tune with the runners they pass and are willing to wave back.
Do you wave when you pass other runners on the trails? What are your thoughts?
