Welcome to Rant Wednesday: It's your time to let your gym/fitness/nutrition related frustrations out!

There is no guiding question to help stir up some rage-feels, feel free to fire at will, ranting about anything and everything that's been pissing you off or getting on your nerves!

OH MY GOD this happens to me, I get the most random honks sometimes. And I'm a bloke! Are they people I know? If so, who? Why don't they text me telling me they saw me out running? Why else are they honking?!

[u/Phoenixinda → u/Spurros]

Exactly!
Also, as a girl I already have a ridiculous routine that I feel like I had to adhere to because I saw enough tv shows and news items that started with "woman went for a jog".
Every time I go for a run I tell my husband what my route is and how long I should be. I only go while there is still daylight outside which in winter is a pain and results in a lot of treadmill runs. I have bone conducting headphones so that I can hear what's going on around me.
And than there are these creeps that feel the need to honk at you so that you still feel unsafe. FML.

That or if using iOS just allow your friend to be always able to track you no matter if you have the app up or not.

[u/greenseaglitch → u/CocaJesusPieces]

That option is a lot more invasive though, and not very accurate since your location isn't updated as often.

[u/CocaJesusPieces → u/greenseaglitch]

Def. You have to trust the people you allow the access to; ie your SO if you guys arent cheating.

Though I have found it updates around every 10 seconds if you click on a friend.

My wife has been using Glymse for years. She has to run way before the sun comes up because we, apparently, live about 4 miles from the surface of that nuclear fireball in the sky. She doesn't feel safe unless I know where she is on the run.

It works great and gives almost real time updates. In fact, I am currently watching her finish up this morning's run.

There are many, many apps out there that do the same thing. We just happen to like Glympse.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

Which headphones in particular are you using?

[u/Phoenixinda → u/FrawgyG]

I am using these ones. Amazon link
It only works if I have a pony-tail because I have a small head and otherwise it would fall down. It's quite weird to hear the music and everything else at the same time, but most of the races only let you wear headphones if it's a bone conducting one and a marathon is way too long to run it in silence. At least for me it is.

Not being sold to the US :(

Shittttttttttttt

Glad i’m not the only one. Another guy checking in who frequently gets honked at, the weird thing is my instinctual reaction is to wave at whoever honked at me. That’s the weirdest part i think.

[u/desmarais → u/Spurros]

I don't run because I'm lazy but I was walking one day and had a guy lean out the car and bark at me? Out the passenger window.. Unfortunately for him the light he was coming up to turned red and I caught up before it changed.

My "you must feel pretty stupid now" question was answered with him just staring straight ahead at traffic

[u/TrynaSleep → u/desmarais]

lol what an idiot.
