Do runners have a weird sense of humour?

Question

im 16 and from england, i dont think this would apply to anybody abroad. i run and my dad does too. but i just get the impression that alot of them, nearly all actually, have such a weird sense of humour. ill give an example...

theyr in a group of about 5, one says "you know what its a shame we have to do it all over again"(for example as a joke cos the sessions finished) and everyone laughs!! its hard to explain heres another example...

"runnings so hard"... people burst out in laughter, okay maybe thats exaggerated but its very hard to describe exactly what its like and what i mean. just well do you agree that runners have a weird sense of humour? dies anybody know where im coming from at all

Answer 1

no they have a pretty normal sense of humor.

i come from a family of runners and i am not one and they have a normal sense of humor

Answer 2

Me and my relay team are really like that. We laugh at everything that anyone outside of us would find weird. It's like you build this special bond with them and they fully understand you physically and emotionally. Like someone will say "This running stuff is hard, who would do something like that" and everyone will die laughing. OR I usually say "Why was she running so fast, was it a race or something", and my relay falls out laughing.

Answer 3

Yeah...I think it's more inside jokes then anything though. Because on my xc team we have a lot of inside jokes and when people over hear them you just get some weird looks. And besides most people think your crazy if you are a runner so might as well live up to their perception

Answer 4

I am a runner and I have a sick, freaky, sense of humor.

Answer 5

no... im a runner and i dont have a weird sense of humor..... i think....

Answer 6

i live in the states and the girls on my team are sorta like that. but it is more like we are all soo tired and happy after we finish a hard work out or race that we are almost high. I know everything seems funny to us at this point. Im not sure if what i see is the same as you you do but i would say we have an odd sense of humor when we are together.

Answer 7
