  You do you!! Who gives a shit
context: Put on a really sporty headband and some highsocks, no one will bat an eye. Water bottle in hand would be a nice touch. Own it! 
  That or go to the mall early and join the mall walkers.
  I think people are more confused then anything else. If I saw you jogging in a Walmart, I'd definitely notice you and check my surroundings to make sure you aren't jogging from something. >
  
  When I see people jogging in odd places it automatically makes me think they are about to miss their flight, despite being nowhere near an airport. >
  
  Where I live, it makes me think they have just robbed someone. >
  
  It’s not frowned upon, but is something worthy of ridicule, as indicated by the comments. I don’t know why. It’s like, “even if you are late, why are you jogging? Gosh, that person is weird”.
  In some sense, even I feel that it is strange to jog; even when you’re afflicted with that same sort of context, despite it being more practical or rational to jog. But I don’t particularly know why. 
  It’s like, you innately know that jogging is going to set yourself apart from everyone who is walking, but you ignore that, because you don’t prioritize your meeting or class (or whatever), and not the adherence to the group. I’m speaking generally by the way— and that might cause some innate feelings of consternation, for some mysterious explanation. >
  
  Switch to skipping, that way people will know you’re just a weirdo and not running from danger. >
  
  Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like at some point in my life I remember there being a study that proved skipping was a pretty efficient method considering speed/energy used. >
  
  I think that study might have been an episode of Mythbusters, but then again I could be making that up. >
  
  If you just suddenly break out into a jog, people are probably wondering why. Are you running from someone? Are you running after someone? Do you need assistance? Should I be jogging too? What's happening?
  It's weird in the sense that it's unusual and sticks out in a busy place where nobody else is doing that. I doubt most people really care or "frown upon" it (as long as you're not like running people over), they're probably just confused as to why you're doing that. >
  
  I laughed out loud at ‚should I be jogging too?‘ >
  
  Sameeeee! Like that’s gonna be my first thought! Like “what do you see that I don’t…?!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 >
  
  Just break out the Heelys if you have the need for speed. >
  
  Those are kinda cool. >
  
  I don’t think it’s weird that you like to jog. I think it’s weird that you consider walking to be “wasting more time than necessary.” >
  
  Do you play videogames at all? Ever been stuck in a section where they force you to walk? >
  
  Yeah - that's weird. I mean ... jog if you want - but it's always gonna be weird. >
  
  I don't do it all the time but a light jog in a parking lot is supreme give it a try >
  
  jogging in a parking lot is a good way to get hit by a car >
  
  Gotta keep your head on a swivel. If you can't look over most cars I don't advocate running in parking lots. >
  
  Yeah weren't we all told as kids to never under any circumstances run in a Parking lot lol >
  
  I never got taught that, not by schools nor by parents >
  
  I was taught, but mainly because I'm a klutz and would fall. That, and my parents found it embarrassing >
  
  
  Once you're up to speed it uses practically the same amount of energy.
  
  Well now that's just a silly claim. >
  
  Yeah, I wonder what they mean by this? It is certainly true that jogging is quite energy efficient. But that’s from a speed versus calories expended perspective. I doubt that jogging versus walking are similar from an energy standpoint if we’re looking at energy spent per step, energy spent per unit of time, or energy spent per unit of distance traveled. >
  
  It kinda makes sense to me. With jogging its easier to find a nice pace and cruise. You have more momentum than walking so going up or down a step is easier. Personally I think I feel more coordinated jogging/running than I do walking. When I'm walking I could be thinking about anything or doing something with my hands, which leads to getting distracted. With jogging you are moving faster so you can't really do anything else with your hands and since you're moving faster you have to only think about moving kinda. Just puts your brain on a different type of alertness. I find myself catching the tip of my shoe on the carpet or something like that all the time walking, but I can't remember the last time I tripped while running.
  Also I read once (don't ask me for an article this was years ago) that walking a mile and jogging a mile burn the same amount of calories. This could be cap and a half but I have heard it many times and I don't care too much to look it up. >
  
  right but walking a mile in 20 minutes vs jogging 4 miles in 20 minutes is a way different story >
  
  If you're banging out 5 minutes miles you're also doing way more than just jogging. >
  
  i'm a fast walker. i understand this. keep doing it >
  
  Most annoying thing is when the person in front of you is JUST slow enough for it to be more than just a mild nuisance >
  
  But not quite slow enough that you can zoom past. So then you have to be along side them for a bit too long when passing. >
  
  YES EXACTLY. This person gets it. >

  My first thought >
  
  No one really gives a fk that you're jogging. Its just that if you jog where people don't usually jog then it might be an indication of danger. fire? shooting?. Or you're a mad person. Or you just stole something. etc. Try bursting out laughing randomly. Or singing. People will stare at you. >
  
  This made me burst out laughing >
  
  stares >
  
  I'm the same way. I have long legs and I'm always at the very least speed walking. Plus i live in a town with a lot of overweight people (to put it lightly) so I'm constantly passing people by with my long strides. And I'll sometimes break out into a jog, but not inside stores. Maybe in a parking lot etc. >
  
  Yeah, you gotta speed up to pass sometimes. >
  
  Bicycles are even faster and use even less energy. >

  What an odd comment to be downvoted for. I laughed. >
  
  Dog same. I legit busted out laughing. OP sounds like they’re fun to be around. A little eccentric, but they are built different >
  
  I’m going to agree with you, it is odd that moving quickly is socially frowned upon you.
  However, my kinesiology degree felt the need to correct one point. Jogging is actually much worse for you than you might think. 
  Think about the motion of a jog and the compressive forces, it’s a “bouncing” type of motion that puts excess pressure on your knees. Whereas with sprinting, your momentum and energy is directed forward instead of bobbing up and down like a jog. And of course, with walking the forces placed on your knees is reduced compared to jogging.
  Again, I can see your opinion and I agree with your point. But jogging is actually more damaging to your knees long-term due to the “up and down” bobbing motion (instead of carrying your momentum straight in sprinting or diminished repetitive impacts in walking). 
  I believe the healthiest motions for your knee joints are walking, sprinting, then jogging at the bottom. This might be one reason why we subconsciously frown upon public jogging.
  Edit: I graduated years ago, and not sure if the research has changed. When I graduated this was what we learned, and it makes sense when you think about it. >
  
  Hats off to you, this is the first good argument I've seen >
  
  Jogging IN the supermarket? >
  
  It's the only way to get your cart up to speed to ride it down the aisle >
  
  Cool.  I prefer dancing in supermarkets. >
  
  Running indoors around people is a recipe for an accident. If a senior falls and breaks a hip (for example), the courts will not go easy on you. You don't even have to touch them, they might just get surprised.
  Or you could stride through a 2-foot toddler who steps in your way, and he breaks something.
  I'm not saying I would never do it. I certainly have. But there is risk involved. >
  
  It’s like driving highway speeds through a neighborhood. >
  
  You know who runs? People with shit to run from… 
  What did you do that was so abhorrent you can’t even be alone with yourself?
  Tell me your secrets… where are the bodies. >
  
  My guess is crop dusting. >
  
  I dont jog but I do have a naturally fast walking pace and it makes me insane to get stuck behind slow ass walkers. I get feet rage(instead of road rage lol) >
  
  Some old man literally made fun of me for walking faster than him and his wife in the grocery store one time. I don't think I was even full-on speedwalking...just walking at a faster pace than them. He said something along the lines of "oh someone's in a hurry to get somewhere"
  Like yeah, I am. I don't just hang out in grocery stores for fun and generally want to get out as fast as possible so I can go do better things lol. >
  
  I have anxiety, so I don’t like to hang around places with strangers for too long either. I don’t always walk fast (or speed walk), but I feel I do a lot of the time. Or at least my natural pace in an uncomfortable environment is fast so I can get to a comfortable environment as quickly as possible. >
  
  These days, I have small kids and prefer to order online for delivery/pickup. 
  When I do have to go into the store, I am definitely in a hurry to finish my shopping and gtfo asap, before my children have time to start getting bored/restless/see something unnecessary they want. The quicker I can get in and out, the less opportunities for meltdowns. And that's better for me, my kids, and everyone else in the store lol. >
  
  I can certainly see how having kids contributes to the “wanting to get in, get what you need, and get out very quickly”. I don’t have kids, but if they have a tendency to get fussy or are holding you up or are bothering other people, then I totally understand rushing. >
  
  I skip. Skipping takes less energy than jogging and looks even more crazy. I love it. >
  
  I used skip a lot but I wore out the bottom of my shoe so I stopped >
  
  It creates a sense of panic for others. Nobody is concerned that it makes your tasks easier or whatever. >
  
  this. but i think it also depends on the situation. if i’m outside in a quiet parking lot i might jog to the front door just to save some time but once you’re inside a store, it just looks weird jogging around inside. my first thought seeing someone running inside is “what’s going on and do i need to gtfo?” >
  
  Yeah for sure. Outside or even on sidewalks a light job isn't anything strange. But jogging inside a store is weird. >
  
  You increase the risk of hurting others, Walmart is not meant to speed run. I guess if you’re gonna do that, do it at night, with all the other Walmart weirdos >
  
  It's pretty easy to not run into people, especially when they're all slow walker normies >
  
  I don't think you're wrong, but I think it's still good advice to be cautious. Easy to avoid slow, predictable people, but what happens when a toddler suddenly runs out in front of you or something? >
  
  He learns a meaningful lession >
  
  Lmao >
  
  Sure, in the parking lot or some other outdoor space with room. I don’t think it is reasonable to run inside a store. >
  
  I had a manager once that said it offends fat people. >
  
  All the more reason to jog >
  
  I agree. If only this world made sense. >
  
  Nothing more annoying than slow people in front of me blocking my way. Drives me insane. I wouldn’t say I jog. I have a fast pace. There’s a certain class of people that walk a crazy slow pace and manage t9 block people from going around them. >
  
  clears throat SKIPPING. >
  
  I think they may just be misinterpreting what’s happening.  You don’t normally see joggers in a Walmart parking lot.  When people are running to or away from someone, it may instill fear or anxiety that something bad is happening >
  
  My biggest fear is wasted time >
  
  As a delivery driver i ran and jogged in more situations than I can count and that habit stuck with me in certain situations but never in a market would i run lol parking lots, sure but not the actual store. >
  
  Let me guess, fedex? >
  
  I used to work on a used car lot, and when we were busy I had to cover the length of the lot sometimes to finish one thing and start something else.
  Fuck jogging -- dude, I ran. 
  I'm pretty sure some employees thought it was odd, but I was finishing one thing with six other separate things waiting on me.
  I wore running shoes and athletic golf shorts for the job, so it was by no means uncomfortable. >
  
  I knew a valet that was also a distance runner. Match made in heaven. >
  
  I wish I had to confidence to do short sprints and jogs well walking. Maybe skip here and there. >
  
  Skipping is crazy underrated. >
  
  All these posts about how jogging will cause panic/fear, cannot be said about skipping.
  Noone has ever been scared by someone skipping >
  
  Speed walking is way better than jogging in public places where the expectation is walking.  I broke my nose as a kid by running in a hallway into someone around a corner. Save that running for the great outdoors. >
  
  I am very fast, very impatient, and VERY dumb so I tend to run everywhere. I hate walking but I fully understand why people don't like when others run in crowded public areas. >
  
  
  VERY dumb
  
  Love it >
  
  It’s weird, but you’re totally right >
  
  Fuck it imma go skip around a Walmart rq >
  
  Those things are sick >

  Why jog when you can run everywhere
  I sometimes run, who cares what randos think. They're just people. They aren't gonna think you're some awful person for running or jogging. I don't even think it's frowned upon at all. It's just weird because usually when someone is running it's because they are stealing something or some store is about to close >
  
  So long as you’re aware of intersections, people around you and any other potential hazards, I don’t care. >
  
  Honestly jogging around is fun, also way quicker than walking, plus you get to exercise >
  
  I used to get mad when my runescape character would run out of energy running half way through Varrock but now I run out of energy running down 10 stairs to catch a train >
  
  Skip gang >
  
  What do you do with all of the few seconds you save? >
  
  Your mother >
  
  I don’t have an issue with this just have a question: do you ever get stopped by people thinking you’re trying to steal something? >
  
  I can usually outrun them >
  
  You haven't tried skipping. That's the truly efficient way to get around. >
  
  All depends on what you look like, your age, what your wearing. If it’s a teenage boy okay but if your a grown man or woman obviously not wearing workout clothes and you bust into a jog near me I’m assuming something going wrong around me. >
  
  You get to the drugs quicker! >
  
  While outdoors it falls under "if you're not hurting anyone, carry on", when in stores you run the risk of colliding with someone and as just a very fast walker I've discovered that some people become alarmed as they think there's some kind of emergency, or that there's an adult with apparently zero impulse control loose in Target. >
  
  If you're outside then I agree with you, running around in supermarkets and whatnot though there are a lot of blind corners and everybody else is walking so it's just an accident waiting to happen. >
  
  I think people may look because usually people normally run or jog in that setting when there's danger. >
  
  That is super rad as long as you regularly practice Narutu running. It’s the most aerodynamic. >
  
  sounds like something a video game protagonist would say >
  
  I don’t know if I advocate for a full on jog. BUT, I do agree that people are way too slow at stores. Honestly, these people get in the way all the time and I would almost rather they jog than be walking at zombie pace through a narrow aisle. >
  
  From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running! >
  
  I feel you OP. I legit sometimes jog because I get bored of walking and it feels like it's taking forever.
  I chalk it up to being chronically late to things, so am often sprinting to catch a bus, train, or just to cut down on the commute time so I don't miss my flight, etc. >
  
  It actually used to be ILLEGAL to jog or run >
  
  Really? Thats nuts I can't believe it >
  
  Run all you want but I’m probably gonna assume you’re on the way to the bathroom to either throw up or shit… >
  
  I agree. I hate walking because it's so slow. >
  
  This is hilarious >
  
  Nah u goofy af >
  
  See, as a slow walker you walk into people often enough if everybody started jogging it would increase risk of accidents dramaticly, therefor it is not done and is out of line when done. >
  
  It's pretty easy to not run into people. Mammals have been doing that for literal eons. The only way I'm getting bumped if someone hits me from behind and there's no way they're going to be going that fast >
  
  Mammals havent lived in such big colonys for eons, new enviroment new rules, thats evolution that is going on for eons.
  We have old and disalbled people, they do not survive for eons, we have big cornors everywhere which werent their for eons. We have many more new obstacles that block line of sight or fuck with our hearing like never before awareness is going down. >
  
  Your time isn’t as valuable as you think it is. >
  
  Do what you want as long as you’re not endangering others in the process.
  I’m a power walker, people always comment on my walking speed, same as your thinking - I can get from A to B quicker and at a pace that comes naturally to me. >
  
  (for speed)
  I love this. You do you. >
  
  That seems ok, but if you're a black guy and you break out into a jog in a mall or supermarket... you could end up dead. >
  
  Oh spare me >
  
  Totally! We all hit the run key playing RPGs because who has time to stroll to your next objective? people only walk in real life because they're lazy... or scared of looking like a crazy person >
  
  Honestly I wonder why video games even have a walk setting. Why not make running the default?
  But maybe that would be less satisfying... >
  
  Fucking weird ass comments. "Don't jog in a parking lot, you'll get hit by a car" who is OP, rainman? Let the man jog for Christ's sake. Didnt know parking lots were set up like episodes of Takeshi's Castle. Live a little, fuck. >
  
  I also tend to run around everywhere or at least walk fast. Why waste time and why not get som cardio in while out and about? 
  Only thing is that you start to hate people who move around slow. >
  
  >Once you're up to speed it uses practically the same amount of energy
  That's just factually incorrect. Jogging uses far more energy than walking. Jogging has a MET value of about 7 whereas walking at a standard pace has an MET value of about ~~7~~ 3.5. It's quite literally twice as rigorous as walking.
  EDIT: Made a whoopsie >
  
  How is 7 "quite literally twice" the value of 7? >
  
  Made a whoopsie, meant 3.5, thank you very kindly. >
  
  I've accepted that people think it's weird. I think it depends on what shape you're in. For me, jogging through the parking lot is no big deal.
  For others, they would be sweating and out of breath. Makes sense that they think I'm crazy. >
  
  This is the key. If you’re getting out of breath you’ve taken it too far, but a bit of tactical jogging on the way to the train station can make the difference between making your train or not >
  
  I don’t think anyone is looking at you weird for jogging to the train unless your full out sprinting for a train that hasn’t arrived. Otherwise, it’s pretty normal to see people running for a train. >
  
  Jesus Christ it's Jason Bourne >
  
  In a crowded public place, especially a store, you shouldn’t do it because you might crash into someone and/or their cart. You could hurt them and you could hurt yourself, maybe badly. There’s a reason we teach kids not to run in stores. 
  I mean, I’ve been in a hurry too, so I won’t try to pretend I’ve never done it. But as a general rule, don’t run in stores, because it’s rude and a bad idea. >
  
  It’s alright but I would get fucking scared if I saw someone jog through the mall, and I don’t even live in the US >
  
  Why does living in the US make jogging more intimidating? >
  
  Could be running away from an active shooter, for one. >
  
  If you are hitting a light jog because of an active shooter, then I question the amount you are trying to avoid getting shot. >
  
  The way I just busted out laughinggggg!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Like how can you not expect people to look at you in an odd manner if you just break out in a jog in the middle of the department store…?! First of all, I’m gonna be nervous because I think you see something that I don’t - so I’m liable to start running with you! >
  
  OP is a clown show lol. >
  
  If I saw you jogging in a store I'd assume you were stealing. >
  
  You were the weird kid in school eh? You're gonna start a stampede dude knock it off >
  
  I don't really think it is weird. I think it is cool. My son does that too.
  i realize most people probably think it is weird, but that's because we are used to conveniences and laziness - you're talking about a population who shop while riding scooters, forget about walking! >
  
  I'm not sure casually and calmly walking around the supermarket is really laziness >
  
  I dont know... every time i run exiting somewhere i got arested >
  
  Stop molesting the staff already >
  
  My name is Moe Lester.... my parent weere finding it funny >
  
  I gay walk all the time. I find it annoying how slow everyone else is. If you feel uncomfortable jogging ask a homosexual to teach you to gay walk. >
  
  lmfao >
  
  When people do this I laugh. Every time, instinctively >
  
  Dude how in a hurry could you be you gotta jog buying groceries lmao >
  
  No ones cares what you're doing. They are trying to figure out if they need to fight or flight. >
  
  The best is to start jogging behind an unsuspecting person (better if they are smaller than you).
  Make it super awkward if possible and make constant eye contact so they know you are trying to rapidly go about your task of shopping, or night jogging, or whatever.
  Bonus points if you wear a face mask. Can't be too careful now days with all the 'vid and flu going around! >
  
  There are spaces made for running and spaces made for walking. We learned this when we were kids. Well, most of us did. >
  
  I just power walk. Probably not much slower than most people jogging. >
  
  Fellow runner here, love a good run straight out the house. In the UK they seem to love yelling 'Run, Forrest, run!' as well as giving strange looks. >
  
  A lot of people I know thinks that they're too cool to jog. They walk slower on purpose >
  
  "wasting more time than necessary at a Wal-Mart"
  Isn't wasting time the definition of being AT a Wal-Mart? >
  
  I walk really fast when I’m alone. I probably always look like I’m on a tight schedule, but really I’m just antisocial. People don’t talk to you if you’re booking it everywhere lol
  I think if you’re jogging in Walmart, people may think you’re trying to steal something. In my opinion, It’s really only frowned upon if you’re inside of a store furiously hauling merchandise. >
  
  I’m on team jogging. I love it. I wish it was acceptable. >
  
  I just cruise in souped up rascal scooter. Put that puppy in turbo mode and I’m running down unruly toddlers in my path without breaking a sweat. Jogging is for peasants. >
  
  Adding to your opinion: if it doesn’t inconvenience or hurt anyone, do whatever you’d like. Worrying about people frowning upon something because of how uncommon of an action it may be is lame.
  Frowning upon simple, harmless things should be frowned upon >
  
  Lol I totally agree but the thought still makes me laugh. >
  
  I've never seen so many people angry about someone jogging.
  
  WALLMART ISNT BUILT FOR JOGGING

  I really don’t understand why people are disagreeing. If you jog, you could get more done faster. >
  
  Hell yeah! I'm with you, I do this all the time. >
  
  jogging's cool. stay helfy man >
  
  Jogging needs much more energy / minute but if you have a set distance then it’s pretty close >
  
  I’m 100% with you. The looks I get jogging to my law school classes make me double check that I’m wearing pants sometimes >
  
  I bet OP is also doing the Naruto run as he's running through the mall or the parking lot >
  
  Why would he. >
  
  I do this. I work on a campus and everything is just far enough to walk over drive. Sometimes I run, kids look at me weirdly and I can't care. If it's cold I run too. I do it in stores as well, need to find my partner before he leaves the aisle I know he is at, run! >
  
  imagine a mall where everyone is running around. Now combine that with the national avg iq. >
  
  I sometimes envy children for the shear glee they get from sprinting but yeah, it’s a little weird. I wouldn’t say frowned upon, maybe just…side-eyed >
  
  People don't jog around like that everywhere because unless everyone is moving at the same place in a predictable manner it's easy to run into people and hurt them. YTA >
  
  OP Naruto runs everywhere. >
  
  Kids run for fun, right? When did doing things just for fun stop being normal? It's funny how if adults want to run, they need to come up with justifications for doing so, such as "I'm in a hurry" or "I'm doing cardio". Instead of just "I want to get somewhere and I prefer/feel like running to there". >
  
  I do it all the time. And you get comments like "oh, in a hurry, are we?".
  Aye. I am. >
  
  I agree, it’s good exercise and so much of your life is just waisted walking when there’s better ways to get places. >
  
  People look at you like your crazy because your putting your safety and everyone elses safety at risk. That's why you dont run indoors. its too easy to bump into someone or some thing. >
  
  It reminds me of the feeling when you switch from a game with sprint to a game that only has walking >
  
  My bf is a fast walker and it's annoying because I like to walk at a normal pace and he acts like he always has somewhere else to be. >
  
  Try parking further away and jog up to your entrance and when you leave back to the car. Less risk of running into people >
  
  Like someone else said, you gotta throw your arms back in a Naruto run if you're really going to complete the image >
  
  i agree. this can be said about so many other things too. like things that you’d do if you were alone but never in a public place (like a mall). like stretching, or idk walking backwards for exercise (which is actually a lot more socially accepted in china) >
  
  I would say if you wore the appropriate clothing it wouldn't be seen as 'crazy' and it's probably a good idea for you to wear the appropriate clothing for it but at all times that would think about jogging briefly or whichever.
  Nothing wrong with wearing sports clothing all day long, why not make use of it for what it is intended to be.
  But if I saw a man in a suit jogging i would look a bit confused and think 'isn't he going to sweat?' >
  
  What I find weird is how you think jogging uses the same energy as walking.
  But yeh someone jogging through a mall is weird because it doesn't happen very often, and you could be running from someone or something which then brings more attention to you >
  
  It’s fine to do it outside. Running inside is weird and pretty rude, considering people will be afraid something bad is happening or you might bump into someone. >
  
  
  Once you're up to speed it uses practically the same amount of energy
  
  What the shit are you talking about? If this were true, why do people run for exercise? We could just walk and burn the same calories. >
  
  I sprint to my car at work because of a limited break, can say I’ve scared the shit out of a couple people running back >
  
  As someone that relies on public transportation, I very much agree. >
  
  How many times have you been stopped by security thinking you stole something? Hahaha >
  
  Yeah there are some times I wish I could just job around the store and get what a need or like run across the school because it's way faster! >
  
  Wait they do? Damn how sad and empty are their lives? Don’t be upset OP I would just feel sorry that something that mundane is so interesting. That said I am a fast Walker and I too often feel like people are looking at me odd but it’s a strong possibility you and I just think that. I mean I’m really not that interesting looking. >
  
  I wanted to agree with you cause I never find it weird when I see people jog outside in the park or something, but in a supermarket? A mall? The parking lot? Yea I’d find that a little weird, but hey, you do you😂 >
  
  No one is looking at you crazy, I promise. >
  
  If I see someone jogging through Walmart I will assume they stole something >
  
  Lmfao >
  
  I usually think. Man, that guy is in a hurry. And that’s it >
  
  I usually go by bike... they don't like it in the mall, but meh. >
  
  Just be sure to have a piece of toast hanging out of your mouth >
  
  I agree with this wholeheartedly >
  
  I feel you! I run everywhere… cause ur boi has no time to waste. People think I’m weird even without the running. But it works out cause I own it haha >
  
  The reason we don't run or jog in public spaces is because it usually indicates danger. Either in actuality or from instinct. Remember, we are relatively weak animals so if a rhino showed up on the savanna and one dude starts running, your better bet the rest will too. >
  
  I'm normally a fast walker but I always gallup up and down stairs - the extra momentum reduces the overall climbing effort. >
  
  I do this too. It's a nice time saver. >
  
  You should also yell stop!, stop! That would really confuse people >
  
  i'm not opposed to a requisite jog or sprint. if i speed walk my calves cramp.
  do what you gotta do and get where you gotta get >
  
  You should paint yourself red.
  Red stuff goes faster... >
  
  I live in America so if you were jogging in a Wal-Mart I'd probably start sprinting but I agree
  But I also power walk everywhere I go because I walk with purpose and panache >
  
  I agree. I like to get in and get out of places as fast as possible. At the same time, I was always told not to run or even jog indoors as a kid and I think it's still ingrained because I'll walk as fast as a slow jogger, but I cannot get into a jog if I'm inside. >
  
  wait, do you fast walk or do you jog? I have a fast walking pace too because I just hate having to be anywhere longer than I have to be. >
  
  Whatever you say, suspicious person >
  
  I sometimes break out into a sprint >
  
  Lol I love this. I do it too and I have a funny memory of running out my front door (just a little sprint to get some lettuce from the garden) and my father in law having just arrived going “why are you running?” In a Ron Swanson tone >
  
  You break out in a jog in the middle of a department store? You're going to start a stampede, knock it off. You want others to think there is an active shooter or something? Or the store employees to think you're stealing? Thats not normal behavior >
  
  This is the plot of a B list movie. >
  
  Wait… walking is slower than jogging?! >
  
  Pro tip, if you carry a fire extinguisher you can run anywhere you want and people will make way because they think your running to put a fire out >
  
  I do a little jog or a quick walk often. Stop giving a fuck. When I’m leaving the plane on in international flight, I will run past everyone to beat the line at customs. 
  In high school I would run to the cafeteria, before the line gets long.
  When I’m at the grocery store, or Costco, and I see someone with a lot of items, I’ll definitely try and pass them. I’ll do a little 2-3 steps and then ride on the cart and sail past ppl. 
  And in the parking lots I’ll definitely ride the cart like a scooter. Smarter. 
  But I wouldn’t just run for the sake of it. I run to get in line faster than the horde. >
  
  Oh hell no, I used to work in a mental hospital- now anytime I see people running/jogging or any sort of alarm, I go into fight or flight and wonder who's getting their ass beat and when i'm taking a chair to the face >
  
  I can see this being unpopular 😆 >
  
  Try enjoying the slower moments in life a little more instead >
  
  Frowned upon? Lol >
  
  No one is looking at you unless you’re full on sprinting or bumping into people. They might glance because something unexpected is happening, but they generally do no give a shit. 
  If you jog literally everywhere people might look at you a bit more i suppose, as it is kinda weird. >
  
  I feel exactly the same way! I had an ex who was so weird about me running for the train of a morning for work. He’d always be like “if you’re late you’re late, there’s another one in 20 minutes” okay but I don’t HAVE 20 minutes and I have the ability to run so what’s the issue???? >
  
  Alright Forrest. >
  
  You must be in proper running attire to run! Otherwise, you must walk at nOrMaL speed!!! Conform!
  /s >
  
  On a serious note, once I saw a lady run a couple blocks (along my car while i was stopped at a couple of red lights) in subfreezing weather. She had a backpack on and was obviously not doing it for exercise but to get somewhere fast. 
  I was like, is someone chasing her?
