Run, Forrest, run! But how exactly do you run? Let’s figure out, shall we?

Let’s get started! Answer the following questions truthfully with either (a), (b), or (c), and at the end, tally your scores to find out your true runner identity!

Question 1: When do you usually run?

Question 3: How do you feel about running in the rain?

• a) I sing in the rain, dance in the rain, and yes, run in the rain!
• b) It’s okay, as long as it’s not a torrential downpour. I’m not looking to recreate the “Titanic” here.

Question 4: What’s your running pace?

Tally up your answers and let’s see which type of runner you are!

If you picked mostly As:

The Speedy Seraphim: You are the epitome of speed and grace. Running isn’t just a hobby, it’s your lifestyle. You’re dedicated and passionate, and you might actually own a cape. Your runners look up to you as they eat your dust!

If you picked mostly Bs:

The Tranquil Tortoise: You appreciate the journey more than the destination. Running is your me-time, your therapy, your chance to escape and unwind. You’re all about that balance, and remember, slow and steady does win the race… or at least finishes it eventually!

If you picked mostly Cs:

The “Only if Chased” Cheetah: Running? Only if it’s absolutely necessary. You’re realistic and pragmatic, and you value comfort over speed. But when needed, you can be as fast as a startled cheetah. Just make sure there’s a comfy sofa at the finish line.

Remember, no matter what type of runner you are, you’re still lapping everyone on the couch! Now, go out there and run like the wind… or breeze… or gentle draft depending on your results!
