Most embarrassing running moment......

โ€ข29 Replies

I had a dream the other night or possibly a nightmare ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

I dreamt that I was running along and my running leggings split! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ thank goodness it was only a dream. I must have woken in a cold sweat ๐Ÿ˜‚

I just wondered if you amazing runners have any funny/ embarrassing running moments you would like to share with us all. Obviously weโ€™re like one big running family ๐Ÿ™„.

Thatโ€™s all folks ๐Ÿฅ•

One 'dream' that I and many runners here on this site have is to run a sub 30 minute 5K, even it was ran in 29 minutes.59 .9 seconds that would be a great thing.

I am rerunning some of the shorter runs of C25K but tomorrow is the last day of the shorter runs, it will be a rerun of run 3 of week 5 on Saturday and then onto the longer runs, after the 30 minute run of week 9 then I'll once again try and go for the full 5K distance.

Glad that was only a dream regarding your leggings.

I donโ€™t have any, but looking forwards to some of the responses!! If I keep running in the woods Iโ€™m bound to come across something dodgy ๐Ÿ˜‚

Funny you say that! I dreamt last night I was being assessed for new trainers and had huge sprouts of long hairs popping out from my shins and calves like weeds I was mortified lol

Yikes! ๐Ÿ˜‚ itโ€™s funny what we dream up isnโ€™t it? Luckily itโ€™s not happened in reality. Iโ€™ve not fallen head in to cow pat or fallen in to a puddle yet either. Fingers crossed I dodge them. ๐Ÿคฃ

Men particularly if they have hairy legs or feet is a sign of good circulation of the heart so I read in a recent report about general circulation about heart conditions.

Erm... learning the importance of going to the loo (cough ๐Ÿ˜ณ) before setting off - then how knackered I am sprinting back home!

Haha. Yeah thatโ€™s a good one that Iโ€™m sure catches a few people out ๐Ÿ™„.

I turned up to my exercise class at the gym with my leggings on inside out. Label on the outside! A kind lady whispered in my ear that they were on inside out. I had time to go in to the toilet to adjust them!!๐Ÿ˜†

Actually, Iโ€™ve fallen flat on my face in the mumโ€™s race at sports day: does that count?! It was SO embarrassing!! ๐Ÿ˜‚

โ€ข in reply tomolly1973

๐Ÿ˜ฎ did you somehow manage to style it out?!? ๐Ÿ˜‚

No, I was sprawled on my face in the middle of the running track, covered in grass stains! I had this idea Iโ€™d be like Jessica Ennis-Hill and tried so hard my legs couldnโ€™t keep up with my competitiveness ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Oh dear!! Did you ever do sports day again?

Ha ha, you dreamed your leggings split, I've dreamed I've gone to parkrun with no leggings on at all! Nothing on my bottom half! And another time wearing flip-flops...

๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™m sure someone has somehow managed it somewhere! Iโ€™d be running in to the nearest bushes to hide!

Not a dream (or running) but true !

Doing a Swiss ball exercise class (first and last I might add) I was by an open door (as it was so hot) adjacent to car park....one of the positions I was supposed to do didnโ€™t quite go as planned as I flew off and the ball flew out the door and hit a car driving past !! Mortified !!!

Howโ€™s your knee Dave...you running soon ?

โ€ข in reply toRunRunRun13

Feeling much better thank you. Yeah Iโ€™m going to get my finger out and get going again. Finally!

Omg you literally fell out the room and hit a moving car! Surely thatโ€™s the worst. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I once saw a gymnast go flying out if a fire escape door at Meadowbank after not controlling his landing off a vault: there was a collective gasp... and then he stepped back in and presented to the judges! He wasnโ€™t injured so was hilarious! This made me think of that!

Made out he meant to do it! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ™„
