I think the lesson I took away from this is how even the most innocuous activity will get you suspicion and mistrust if it deviates from what people are used to. It would have been nice to get some global cultural views on jogging as opposed to pure US centric. I know for example in Japan Ambassador Caroline Kennedy jogs regularly and this got a lot of attention because it isn't as common a thing for people to do there, especially high profile political figures, as it is in the US.

He was concerned I was one of those asian idiots who go to the desert with barely any water.

Neal X Given the popularity of international sporting and fitness events, like the Olympics for one, I would venture to say that many people around the world no longer see running as odd and recognize its health benefits, although they may not participate in it. I don't think running is inherently weird, but I do think there are instance when running may be strange. For instance, if I see someone running in the summer or spring wearing shorts and running shoes, it's expected. But, if I see I someone running in jeans and a button-up, I do a double take because I view that less as an exercise and possibly more as them running to something (late) or from something (trouble) based solely on the clothing choice since that's difficult and uncomfortable to run in. Other factors might include the surrounding environment, like running in adverse weather conditions or in a business district as opposed to a jogging path, track, or less congested area.

I started running in January of 1969 while in Vietnam. I was 21 years old then. Now it's 2017, I'm 70 years old and I'm still running. I'm not as fast as when I was younger but I'm still out there kicking up the dirt. I love running because it affects me physically, mentally and spiritually. I know that someday I may not be able to run. I just hope it's a long time from now.

If you look at it on an evolutionary level we, humans, have been running for almost all of our existence - there has been only a 0.5% windows where we didn't need to run to survive.

Especially given that most people you pass by are already working their asses off doing hard menial labor even if you get up at like 5AM. It's starting to change a bit now that the country is more developed and the middle class is growing, but jogging (or cycling) on the roads is still looked at with a bit of disdain.

Interesting mention of "Aerobic's" by Dr. Ken Cooper. In the mid 60's Cooper was an internal medicine doctor in the USAF stationed @ Lackland AFB, home of the then largest AF hospital, Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center, aka 'Big Willy'. At the time the Air Forces fitness standard was based on how muscular the airman/officer was, ie how many push-ups, chin-ups, sit-ups etc they could do. Cooper had an idea than aerobic endurance was a better indicator of fitness than shear muscles. Using a large number of Air Force basic trainee's @ Lackland, he came up with a new standard of fitness-basicly, could the individual run a mile and a half in less than 15 minutes. He convinced the powers that be that this was relevant, published "Aerobic's" and then left the USAF and moved up IH 35 to Dallas and opened The Cooper Clinic doing high-end fitness physicals and training for those with money to burn. He left the treadmill he had done most of the study behind @ Big Willy. Years later, I worked in the ETT- Exercise Tolerance Training aka treadmill room. The old enormous treadmill was showing it's age. I occasionally referred to it as the 'steam-roller' because of it's enormous size of the rollers moving the belt. As years passed, Cooper's tester was wearing out and my bosses wanted a newer, more modern unit with all the bells & whistles. I researched 'the steamroller' and tried to convince them that it had some historical value. They didn't care. All used excess equipment was sent to nearby then Kelly AFB to be auctioned off. Someone probably bought this historical gem for 25 or 30 dollars.

This video is a little deceiving because of the fact that running is literally the most natural movement human beings can perform, and is primarily the reason for humans evolving the way they have. I would do a little more research before chalking up the enterprise to American culture. Doesn't seem to do the title of the video justice. And while its true the practice was averse in populist sentiments for long periods of time, pinning the concept of the jogger or runner down in this way woefully underappreciates the complexity of the practice throughout millennia.

Great video! Does anyone know the story of the first marathon - why it is 26 miles and 385 yards (42.195 km)? I remember the story of Philippides running from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of of the battle at Marathon but I've always wondered if this is apocryphal or not.

Jonathan S Gerard jk :P. There are obviously a lot of benefits to running. It's just not my kind of exercise, haha. Swimming and biking are so much sweeter.

Hi Vox, Will you guys be uploading a video soon about the impeachment proceedings and suspension of Dilma Rousseff?

being a swimmer, running is hell for me.

The history is repeating with parkour. The times I was harassed by police and security guards and just random people for climbing on walls and public architecture... In 50 years someone will make an eerily similar video on parkour. I'm sure of it.

Lol an 11 minute mile? The slowest I ran a mile was 7 minutes. I would be a track star back then

Those were joggers. Track athletes were still very talented Like he said, it was still normal for athletes, military, etc. to run. The 4 minute mile had already been broken 10 years before the era he even talked about.

The runner in question was smoking 3 or 4 packs of cigarettes a day (so 60-80 cigarettes). That wouldn't leave him much time for training!

The fastest you’ll ever see me go is probably a speed walk 😆

+Raffboy Depends on how and where you jog. I love jogging because it's one of the few times where I don't have any technology beyond a GPS to track my distance and pace, so I love the feeling of being disconnected from the internet and my phone for an hour. I also personally prefer urban running, because you get to enjoy the sights and watch the people, but trail running in the right place can be lovely too.

It really depends, Jogging in the city is boring. Jogging on a trail or in the woods is by far better. You can hear every foot step as you push against the gravel, and every chirp of the nearby birds.

So walk, or sit.

Running is the most innate thing a human can do. To not run is to deny what the machine was built for. Everyone can run long distance you just have to practice a bit. Get outside and start persistence hunting. It'll make you a better person. It's who you are.

Hunting is unnecessary, therefore immoral to take the life of an unwilling conscious victim whom deserves autonomy and respect, for mere selfish pleasure.

nd4spd I mean that's not a very good argument. Just because something isn't necessary doesn't have anything to do with morality. Hunting for food is different than hunting for sport as well.

Reminds me of Mad Men where the neighbors would gossip about Helen Bishop taking long walks. But honestly I don't know how Dilaudid I'm especially the movie star and model looking people like Betty draper kept their sizes and figures

Isn't it weird that I never liked running before, but now, I want be a runner?

the reason the metric system is still alive in america is because practically every other nation uses it.

You guys should listen to Dollop Podcast, the Boston Marathon episode discuss this, even the unofficial & official first female runner and the woman was accepted welcomed by other Runners(please understand this is the year of woman was only a homemaker) , except this one Irish runner who physically assault her and they finally became best of friends and an honorary award was a med after him for people who changes and challenge the world of marathon. really amazing story

have you got anything on rollerblading? as a quote would go "he was suspiciously rollerblading"
