[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious about this. What made me start to wonder this was seeing an old friend post on social media about her new running hobby. I've run for 25 years so I was like, oh that's great. Then in a one month period she went from "really pushing myself to make the 5 mile mark!" to "I average 10 miles per day, with an average pace of 7:30."  She's an overweight Marijuana enthusiast of nearly 50 who's been running maybe 6 weeks? Is this real? If so, those times suggest that she could easily train to become an elite runner. I just can't figure out what the motivation would be to lie though. Is this something people lie about?[/quote]

Ask to go for a run with her. [/quote]

+1000. Even better, ask her to go run 10 miles, but only ask her the day before. That’ll shut her up real fast.

For me, I don’t want any of what I am doing on social media. I have a Strava account but very much limit that to a narrow selection of friends that seem to like to encourage each other. I really prefer to be left alone. I will let the race results speak for themselves, and even with those, I’m competing with myself anyways.

For sure people lie about this stuff. [/quote]

Why would you do this, unless you are a hateful person? For some kind of fun gotcha? [/quote]

I’d just be curious to see if she’s lying. I personally wouldn’t want to maintain a relationship with someone who lies like that. But that’s just me. [/quote]
