First, there was road rage. Now there is . . .
RUN RAGE!!!
#FirstWorldProblems
DANG!
Sounds like burn out.
Right before quitting my golf addiction, I was a complete jerk on the course. So I quit. Used to play 120 rounds per year.
Now I ride dirt bikes 120 days a year.
I guess I’m a very controlled person. I do not understand this sort of rage. I work out. I work out hard. People at the gym sometimes get in my way. I never say anything or do anything. I just shift and make do.
For a pastor to lose control and yell the eff word at people while he’s running? I think he missed a verse or two in the Bible.
Runners can be obnoxious... but bicycle riders are the worst.
A sport is like a religion for many. Therefore, they sincerely believe they are better than others.
Mean drunks have a chemical excuse, too.
***holes are everywhere, including the church.

I can be confident that I will never experience “run rage.”
Since I do a mean 11 minute mile, I have my doubts that I will ever enter a race competition.
I truly do not understand people who enjoy running.
In all seriousness? This Pastor sounds like a, ‘dry drunk’ to me.
Dude. Seek help.
The worst..?
Road-racing bicyclists who dress up in garish, bun-squeezing Italin BS jester costumes, then act like they own the whole road.
Especially if they’re in a stupid weekend group.
WHY are their outfits totally covered in company names if they have NO SPONSORS..?
Stupid.
Anyone up for Run n Gun?
I have experienced run rage when dealing with mountain bikers on foothill trails west of Denver.
Most are responsible but about 10% are entitled a-holes who will force you off the trail. They are legally at the bottom of the food chain and are required to yield to everyone whether going uphill or downhill.
There have been times where they have bumped me and crashed head-on into me. As a result I have no tolerance for them and have been known to throw elbows and punches.
Endorphins
For years I ran 5 miles a day, with other runners. Had to quit when I hurt my ankle. I always felt good while running. "Runners high," we called it. Endorphins flooding the bloodstream. Other runners always friendly and well-behaved.
I used to join other ham radio operators to provide communications for a marathon run in a nearby town. We'd be stationed at the water points to report on runners needing help, etc. Never saw an ill-behaved runner.
I can't say bad behavior never happens, but I had ample opportunity to observe it, and didn't see it.
