What Kind of Runner Are You?

4.5

If you're a runner, you know there's nothing quite like the thrill of heading out and going for a good hard run: wind in your hair, sun on your face, rhythmic padding of your feet as you glide past. Or maybe running's not really your thing. Whether you run or are just taking this quiz for fun, you'll have a great time learning more about yourself. Whether you be a mighty distance dude, a cool, chill trail runner, a running addict who wants to just run, a short distance runner, or not really a runner, I hope you have fun taking this quiz. Enjoy!

1/10 How far do you usually run?

10+ miles

Umm... Tree miles!

I don't really keep track.

1-3 miles

Me. Don't. Like. Running.
2/10 Who do you like to run with?

My trusty dog.

Me, Myself and I.

Anyone, as long as I'm running!

Anyone who can keep up with me. Muahahaha!

Whoever can drag me out of bed and make me go for a run.
3/10 What do you enjoy about running?

Hearing the rythm of my breathing and my feet hitting the ground as I run.

Taking in the beautiful view.

Everything!!

Feeling the wind against my face as I zoom by.

Bragging to my friends that I run- even though I really don't-
4/10 What do you wear while running? (Gear included.)

Sweat-wicking top and running tights or shorts.

Sweats, a T-shirt and usually a running backpack with a snack.

Anything!

Ummm.... clothes.

Regular clothes? Jeans, boots- cheap tennis shoes?
5/10 Which race sounds the most fun to you?

Ultramarathon!!

Trail 10k

Any race sounds great.

A mile long race. (Time to beat my friends...)

A 5k run/walk where you can get away with talking to friends and not running the whole time.
6/10 Your usual workout? (When you have time to do the kind of workout you want to do.)

A 15-mile loop around the city with my running buddy.

Hitting the trails and packing a picnic lunch to eat around noon.

Just.. running! No specific plan.

A mile long loop around the neighborhood followed by a speed workout at the track.

A 2 or 3 mile run with friends, then rushing back to the comfort of your home to shower and watch TV.
7/10 What do you think (about) while running?

Ok, this is a nice good pace- hey, while I'm running, is it just me or are you hungry?

Wow, this is an amazing view! Now excuse me, tree, while I take a little pit stop.

Whopeee! I LOVE running!

Woohoo! It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's- ME!

Ugghhh, my legs are killing me.
8/10 What do you do after you run?

Collapse on the couch, then immediately get up, stretch, and make a protein shake.

Sniff the city air and say, "Hmm.. it smells much nicer on the trail."

HEY! Who said I had to stop?

Stumble over to the bleachers, wipe off your sweat, and take a drink from your water bottle.

Say, "Phew! Thank goodness it's over..."
9/10 What inspired you to start running?

Myself. I wanted to see how strong I was.

Mother Nature! I wanted a cool, unexpensive, rewarding sport where I could enjoy the outdoors.

My family. They convinced me that it was a great sport, and then I fell in love with it.

My coach. They said I was fast and should consider running, and I said, "Hmmm..."

My friends. They think running is SO FUN, but I think it's SO NOT!!!
10/10 OK, last question: what is your motto for running?

Fast runners in the front, good-looking runners in the back!

Run 4 Mother Nature

Live, Love, Run

Be fast or be last.

DON"T RUN!!! (Seriously, it'll ruin your knees...)
