Observing or ogling?

More and more I find myself watching other runners to observe how they run. To try to work out what makes them so graceful (or not). What gives them speed and what they are doing that I could be doing better.

I think this comes from running solo as I don’t have anyone to tell me what I am doing right or wrong.

It’s not an obsession but I notice myself doing it more and more and I have now noticed the runners see me observing them.

I hope I don’t come across as some perv as I am genuinely watching their performance and form. I am not sure what I will ultimately gain from these observations but it’s all knowledge isn’t it!

I have to admit though that it’s odd that I don’t watch women runners. I can’t think why… 🙂
