I tend to have fun on twitter… if you follow me, you may see that I don’t take myself “too seriously” — case and point at 1 minute and 48 seconds here. Tuesday was no different as I thought it would be funny to make up some stats on running. Sure we could hold focus groups, arrange anonymous surveys and look at analysis, but it’s more fun to just make it up as we go… so that’s what I did.
Here are some #MadeUpRunningFacts — the top two seemed to be the most popular.
And some other folks thought they were pretty funny, too. Don’t believe me?
And then other people started getting creative and joining in on the fun:
Check out #MadeUpRunningFacts to see if any additional ones have been posted.
Better yet, make your own! Just use the hash so we can all see and laugh — and be sure to follow those above.

Now, are weight lifters next, pleaseandthankyou?
Love it! Great facts. ;)
Haha, agree with MizFit…bring on the weight lifters facts!
Too funny. How did I miss this?!
Hilarious!! My fav…78% of runners correct form when opposite sex approach… #GUILTY!
I was definitely laughing reading these yesterday. LOVE IT!
I was loving reading them yesterday. I think they are funny and probably more true than not!
I love it I think they are hilarious. I am always leery of numbers I see in magazines like fashion, etc. as well.
Loved ’em. Totally kept me laughing.
Love it! Thanks for the laugh!
Wicked funny!!! I love them!
I was cracking up at these yesterday, too– didn’t see the ones where other people jumped in, that’s awesome! A lot of truth behind the sarcasm, too. :)
These cracked me up. I always run faster when someone’s watching haha.
So funny! I want to know why so many people pick numbers in the 70’s.
These are hysterical. I definitely stand at lights pissed off at myself for running where there are traffic lights.
haha LOVE this!!
Hilarious! Thanks for the smile :-)
Love these! There may be some truth to some of them:) Stats may be off, but there may be some truth…
Hilarious. I enjoy the bit about the cape at the stop light. 76% of runners think they’d run faster if wearing a cape.
Can I be like you one day???? I seriously love these.
I’m kind of thinking the first one isn’t made up at all. Just saying.
I totally would have fell for these if they weren’t hashtagged made up running facts. I’m so oblivious, I loved them!
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this! So FUn!
These are hilarious! I have a list to add… hee hee
ha! This is great! Thanks for lightening up my bad mood! I feel much better after reading all of this hilarity!

These are hysterical!!! I love the one about the passing gas. Pretty sure my BF M does think that ‘-)
I LOVE this – I am going to have to make up my own facts to join the fun. Can’t believe I missed this earlier – I don’t get to spend nearly enough time on twitter anymore. :)
I seriously enjoyed these on Twitter! I missed the red light one that day – so true. I get so mad at red lights (and don’t jog.)
you’ve made it onto another page – as fact! lol.
I was researching facts for a running quiz and saw the 78% comment on this page
