Running scenes we’ll never forget

Juno

We all appreciate stumbling across a great running scene when we’re least expecting it. You take a night to relax, watching a movie or TV episode that has nothing to do with the sport and a great running scene comes up out of nowhere. It feels like the script writer gets you. These moments are so great, we don’t want you to forget about them. Though it’s been years since we saw some of these scenes, we’re bringing them back for your entertainment. Here are some times when movies said exactly what’s been on your mind:

1. Juno: “I always see them naked even if I don’t want to. All I see is pork swords.”

Now all you see is pork swords. Thanks Ellen Page.

2. Silver Linings Playbook: “Hey this is my route OK? Just back off.”

We can all be a little territorial about our routes.

3. Trainspotting’s opening scene

We were all impressed by his fitness level.

4. The Lion King: When Simba gets stuck in the stampede

We felt this exact same way at the start of our first race. We totally get this lion cub.

5. Girls: “You’ll feel it soon.” “I won’t. I told you, endorphins don’t work on me.”

Even though you rolled your eyes, you knew exactly what she was talking about. We were all there once.

6. Robin Hood: When Robin Hood and Little John were trail runners

Kind of.

7. Forrest Gump: “I’m pretty tired. I think I’ll go home now.”

Sometimes, it’s as simple as that.

8. Pirates of the Caribbean: That time Jack Sparrow’s form was awful

But still so many kinds of awesome

9. Friends: “I’m telling you, when Phoebe runs she looks like a cross between Kermit the Frog and The Six Million Dollar Man.”

You were so glad your running buddy was nothing like this.

10. That time The Spice Girls did an obstacle course workout before it was cool.

And now you’re mad that this ever existed.

11. The Silence of the Lambs: When Jodie Foster was a total badass

And you pretended to be her during your workouts too.

And finally…

12. Seinfeld: When Jerry opened up about cheating

“I had won by so much, a myth had begun to grow about my speed.”
