Running Along

The most important thing you must know about England is that, no matter what the race, no matter what the social status, British people run funny. In America, jogging is very much a lateral activity - with minimal vertical movement, unless you have enormous breasts (which many Americans of both sexes possess).
Contrarily, for the British, jogging is very much a three dimensional affair. They sort of prance their way across the miles whether in trainers or full on spandexy jogging gear. Although far from an expert in British culture, I've seen a bouncing Englishman one too many a time for me to ignore this important social trend.
