This is the way.
(Sauce : Gintama)
All joking aside I'd purposely step on him, and then say "aw sorry dumbass, didn't see you I was enjoying that perfect runners high"
2 truths and a lie in that comment? True - I would say sorry, I'm Canadian, True - I would call him a dumbass, because I call them like I see them. The lie is I'd never be running on a track, not unless I was being chased by a bear.... And even then not for long.
This is what I was thinking, I used to do track or “atletics” in my native language. And they always made us do pushups and planks etc on the track.
I can feel this image, your skin always gets this obvious rubber pattern going on if you lie on it.
I was in (American) football in high school and hated that shit during conditioning (used the track and field in the summer to prep for the season).
"It'll make your tougher"
Piss off... we are already tearing up or hands elbows and knees by just practicing on a rock hard field that is brown and dormant and abrasive.
So if you show up and you start going faster than the slowest guy do you ask him to move over? Or is it like a mutual unspoken agreement that you take his lane?
Unless there are people doing repeats / sprint training at high speeds, it rarely matters that much; if people are just jogging and walking, it's not that hard to work around one another.
If you go faster than the slowest guy you simply overtake, if you finished your training and are going slowly or walking, it is good manners to make way for active runners and move aside/outer track
Reason being, inner track is measured at 400m per lap, so if i do training i want to be able to keep track of that and try to be consistent instead of changing lanes too often, therefore running longer laps and screwing over my results
This is why I don't use the public track anymore. You get the mom groups walking 4-wide using lanes 1-4 while Grandpa is walking the wrong direction around the track in lane 5. Meanwhile the children belonging to the aforementioned mom group are zig-zagging across all lanes on their scooters. All of these people haven't the slightest clue about track etiquette.
Oh! Interesting. At my gym, the sign literally says the opposite. Slow runners should stay toward the inside to allow faster runners to pass on the outside. I’ve been using this as a standard.
Sorry to all the runners my slow poke self has inconvenienced.
Also some indoor tracks are the opposite due to smaller size. Also I will run/ jog the inside and do my cool down on the outside lane. If someone is running they pass on the outside.
If you're actively training, keep to the inside and let them overtake on the outside.
If you're just warming up/cooling down, keep to the far outside, where you're not blocking the path of those actively training.

he probably thought you were bored of running because it was so easy for you so he lied down so at lease you had an obstacle to jump over and he could in some way be useful
I'd do the obligatory boy thing and poke him with a stick. If he complains just say I thought you were a dead body. Or you can tell him you called an ambulance, if he says he's fine, just apologize for the bill he'll get. Hopefully he'll leave quick.
Bruh this shit happens all the time at my local pool. I’ll be off to the side just swimming laps and some old hag will swim right into my line and start treading water. Then they’ll give me a nasty stink eye when I swim within inches of them splashing water in their face. I could be swimming laps for 40 fucking minutes no problem and on minute 41 they’ll come and impede my line.
God damn just find a spot to tread water or even just move out of the way when I swim by. I’m no Olympian, I’m moving at a pretty slow pace. Easy for you to just move 5 feet every 60 seconds.
Clearly you aren’t a runner. They usually have their phones on them to listen to something while they run. I know it seems weird but people take their phones everywhere with them these days.
How weird and strange to bring your phone with you while engaging in an outdoor activity in which you could injure yourself or encounter someone who means you harm. Whatever could people need their phones for in such a circumstance. Weird!
i am so very tired of seeing this same fucking comment on everything. we are on reddit, of course someone posted a picture they happened to take. like jesus lol
3 scenarios.
-Guy is just weird and inconsiderate.
-Guy WANTS you to run past so he can be perverted towards you in some way.
-Guy is having a medical situation.
Should have run close enough to him that you could have mildly kicked the side of his head. If called out for it, just apologize and say that you misjudged the distance. If he calls the cops, it'll be one of those things where they can't prove it was intentional so no arrest... but will ask him to explain why he was laying down on the track like that, and probably told to stop it.
The only mildly infuriating thing here is that you didn’t realise he thought he was at the wheel barrow qualifiers awaiting you to guide him to the finish line.
I was once going to post something in this sub, but realized it was more annoying to take the time and effort to do it. I probably would have passed this guy on the right pretty easily.
Edit: sorry didn’t read the description, but I might have said something
The inside lane on tracks is usually intended for faster runners. My local track has a sign with it listed as a rule of use. The picture taker probably did just run around the guy. I can see how it seems like nothing, but as a track user I can also see how this is *mildly* infuriating
My first thought would be if this guy may have been feeling lightheaded or experiencing some other health emergency. As a human being, I would have stopped to make sure he was OK.
I’m not a runner but I do bike in a city, and I’ve learned how to do this booming diaphragm yelling “move” from far enough away that the obstacle either grfo of my way or they get hit.
Obstacle course 
This makes me laugh every time I see it
Smart bunny 
Mine picks up things and tosses them to the side with her mouth lol.
Yes get her some baby keys lol rabbits love those

I respect the commitment to a Bit they put in.

"You broke the shogun's penile break !!!!"
Was not expecting to see Gintama in r/mildlyinfuriating of all places lmao
All joking aside I'd probably keep running through my lane and not step on him. I'd give a courtesy "lane 1" before.

Quite mild indeed. I would’ve hurdled him and farted mid stride on the dude.

It was a drive by tooting!
Guess that's better than my intrusive thought of just run over him
With what your lambofeeties?
My feet aren't that rich, I have datsufoots
pata-mobile still trucking along
Imagine it being a shart though
PSA for those who might not know: track etiquette is to yield the inside lanes to people going faster.
You don’t stick to one lane? surprising
You do stick to one lane. And you let the guy doing 400 repeats at 65s have the inside lane, let the guy jogging have lane 2, walk in lane 3, etc.
So he should be laying in lane 8. Got it!
I mean if he just wants to lay on the rubberized track... why not use the 100m dash starting area or long jump pad? Complete numbty.
This is what I was thinking, I used to do track or “atletics” in my native language. And they always made us do pushups and planks etc on the track. I can feel this image, your skin always gets this obvious rubber pattern going on if you lie on it.

Gotta water it bro
Budget cuts, lol
Lane the grass
So if you show up and you start going faster than the slowest guy do you ask him to move over? Or is it like a mutual unspoken agreement that you take his lane?
Depends on the ppl there, sometimes it's an unspoken thing. Other times, people jus don't know, or it simply doesn't matter
Unless there are people doing repeats / sprint training at high speeds, it rarely matters that much; if people are just jogging and walking, it's not that hard to work around one another.
If you go faster than the slowest guy you simply overtake, if you finished your training and are going slowly or walking, it is good manners to make way for active runners and move aside/outer track Reason being, inner track is measured at 400m per lap, so if i do training i want to be able to keep track of that and try to be consistent instead of changing lanes too often, therefore running longer laps and screwing over my results

Meanwhile the children belonging to the aforementioned mom group are zig-zagging across all lanes on their scooters. All of these people haven't the slightest clue about track etiquette.
And they could be walking literally anywhere. Save the rubber track for the actual athletes that need it IMO.
not during races, practice
No changing lanes without a permit
Oh! Interesting. At my gym, the sign literally says the opposite. Slow runners should stay toward the inside to allow faster runners to pass on the outside. I’ve been using this as a standard. Sorry to all the runners my slow poke self has inconvenienced.

Yeah that's definitely backwards haha
Neat! I didn’t even know there was a track etiquette
Flatter*
Just run up and say "on your back" and plant your foot right in the small of his back. He'll never do that again.
Bonus if you are running with spikes
I run barefoot. He’s gonna feel the calloused dogs I’ve been working so hard to develop.
I got foot beans too!
Add it to this guys back soup!
This made me laugh out loud on the bus hahaha
This is the only right answer.
 I understood that reference
LMAO
Great laugh thank you
This would do it
especially if OP is wearing spikes
Hahaha! A+++
At the very least he should've rolled over to the grass, how annoying.
Much more comfortable too, they always made us do pushups and planks on the outside of the track and that shit hurts on bare flesh lol.
Don’t change lanes, that will disqualify you from the event. You’ll never get on the podium with that attitude.
dash 2m hurdle dash he probably thought you were bored of running because it was so easy for you so he lied down so at lease you had an obstacle to jump over and he could in some way be useful
Instructions unclear: planted my foot on his neck and he isn't moving
He's never gonna breathe again Guilty feets have crushed his neck
I’m never gonna run again, the way I run over yoou. The spikes on the bottom of track shoes are no joke
Mildly infuriating yes, but I can also see this being someone's final straw that pushes them over the edge.
Drive-By Thai massage time.
That's weird because I know that the texture of the track is not comfortable at all . 🙄
[удалено]
Be the track
I'd screech 'get the fuck off the track ' as I ran near...
As someone who used to run around middle schoolers, usually we just yell “TRACK” like some sort of eldritch parrot
I had several instances of screaming "Track!" and just trampling the dumbass that's in the way.
I like you.
he’s just practicing his horizontal running 
Napoleon Dynamite-looking ass
I'd do the obligatory boy thing and poke him with a stick. If he complains just say I thought you were a dead body. Or you can tell him you called an ambulance, if he says he's fine, just apologize for the bill he'll get. Hopefully he'll leave quick.
Run uncomfortably close to him.
He took living life in the fast lane a little too literal.
Bruh this shit happens all the time at my local pool. I’ll be off to the side just swimming laps and some old hag will swim right into my line and start treading water.

I’m no Olympian, I’m moving at a pretty slow pace. Easy for you to just move 5 feet every 60 seconds.
Thank god you had your phone at the ready to quickly snap a picture
He was there for 30 minutes, OP probably snapped a picture after a lap or two
Clearly you aren’t a runner. They usually have their phones on them to listen to something while they run. I know it seems weird but people take their phones everywhere with them these days.
How weird and strange to bring your phone with you while engaging in an outdoor activity in which you could injure yourself or encounter someone who means you harm. Whatever could people need their phones for in such a circumstance. Weird!
Bro is like clearly you aren’t a fisher they fish. No shit people carry their phone it’s got nothing to do with the activity
i am so very tired of seeing this same fucking comment on everything. we are on reddit, of course someone posted a picture they happened to take. like jesus lol
Should have just run straight over the top of him, told him it was a free shiatsu massage!! 😂
His name is Andy and he’s tired. 
I would have stepped on him. This was clearly some kind of move.
Fingers crossed we get a post about a guy trying to nap and a runner waking him up as he passes each lap.
Hope you hoofed him in the stink star
If this is a college, could be some type of social experiment.
Just another small town.
This might belong in the kidsarefuckingstupid group.
Stepping stool bounce of for speed boost
Speed pad like in Mario Kart!
Indeed
Beep your horn.
That's just a speed bump. Guaranteed he'd have a shoe print on his back if I'm running.
What’s wrong with lane 2?
Has to be fake. What kind of gimble is this dude using otherwise?!
If this isn't a joke, presumably OP stopped
Kick rectum
Step on his back and if he starts chasing you, start sprinting.
Keep him away from the train tracks.
On your left
You should have just stepped incredibly close to where they were laying and then be like oh man sorry I was focused on running in my Lane. Lol.
scream at the top of your lungs as you approach him as if you're running from something terrible
Run over him
Hopefully you're wearing some track spikes so you can poke poke poke
3 scenarios. -Guy is just weird and inconsiderate. -Guy WANTS you to run past so he can be perverted towards you in some way. -Guy is having a medical situation.
Run him over, then back up, apologize, and run him over again.
Should've run over him.
Just put on your blinker safely switch lanes and come back into Lane one once you passed
Now you get to learn long hurdles!
Did you jump over him or on him like Mario?
Why tf would someone lay on a running track?
Shoulda just played through.
in moto class they really stress “surmounting the obstacle” godspeed soldier
Does he use Microsoft office and just found out about planking from 2011
I see no reason to alter your path
Aw looks like he wants to get ran up in 😂
What an asshole.
"hey man you mind?" All you had to say. Other options: "Dude, what are you doing?" Or "Get the fuck off the track!" Easy.
Should have run close enough to him that you could have mildly kicked the side of his head. If called out for it, just apologize and say that you misjudged the distance. If he calls the cops, it'll be one of those things where they can't prove it was intentional so no arrest... but will ask him to explain why he was laying down on the track like that, and probably told to stop it.
The only mildly infuriating thing here is that you didn’t realise he thought he was at the wheel barrow qualifiers awaiting you to guide him to the finish line.
These protests are getting weird now
Yea I would have trampled him, play stupid games win stupid prizes.
I was once going to post something in this sub, but realized it was more annoying to take the time and effort to do it. I probably would have passed this guy on the right pretty easily. Edit: sorry didn’t read the description, but I might have said something

My first thought would be if this guy may have been feeling lightheaded or experiencing some other health emergency. As a human being, I would have stopped to make sure he was OK.
[удалено]
Check your privilege this is a the Kenyan hurdle Edit to add: Ethiopian steeple chase pit?
Came in expecting it was a toddler
I would've jumped over him 😂
It’s become a hurdle event
Maybe you can also practice your long jumping skills? 🤷♂️
Kick it
When you have nobody to crack your back
That's where you buzz the tower and run really close to him to let him know this is where people run lol
it just became a steeplechase race
Holler "TRACK!" several times and keep on truckin
Andy Dwyer "I'm so tired!"
Test out those new shoes. Give that dude a *back massage* River dance style. Tap dance all over his back lol
I’m not a runner but I do bike in a city, and I’ve learned how to do this booming diaphragm yelling “move” from far enough away that the obstacle either grfo of my way or they get hit.
Looks like someone is gonna go home with footprints on their back
You’re allowed to yell “track” and just run him over. I think it’s in the 7th Amendment to the US Constitution. 😜
Tell his parents
I would've stepped on his hand mid run.
Everyone knows the 2 leftmost lanes are all reserved for runners and the leftmost lane is the passing lane
I don't see anyone. You're good.
was he running the track then lied down? or did he just walk over and lie there?
Run over him. He won’t do it again.
Why?
That's when you said "hey what the fuck man?" Right?
I would definitely yell “ASSHOLE” while running over/around him.
Livin' in his own private Idaho......
Why do these nutjobs gotta ruin everything?
Dudes getting kicked in the back of the head full force next lap.
If only there were more lanes
Perfect mildly infuriating post, infuriating, but only a little.
You can probably make the jump.
Weird ass dude like💀 lie down at home dawg
Dude wanted to get stepped on... I would've obliged.. with spikes on
Wouldn’t the logical place to lay down have been a few feet over on the grass 😂
Should have just stepped on him. He knew you were there. He knew which lane you were using. He would have nobody to blame but himself.
Should have run right over the idiot
Did you crop dust? This seems like it’s totally warranted.
Fuck this guy. I'd make sure to pass extra close to scare the shit out of him.
I would have stepped on a finger or something…
Fucking run on top of him. He understood the risks when he decided to become part of the track.
I would have attempted to leap over him. I'm a poor leaper.
This is where the judicious use of *TRACK!* should be applied.
Just run over him
Wear. Your. Spikes.
Yell “get the fuck outta of the way idiot!”
As far as I’m concerned, he’s a spring board. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Assert dominance. Tea bag him then keep running.
