Why Do Other Morning Joggers Clap At Me? by prince985(op): 9:15pm On Nov 23, 2019
I've been engaging in morning jogging for some weeks now, and I noticed some joggers usually clap twice when we cross paths. Is it a kind of greeting? How do I respond?

As a matter of fact I have been wondering about that clap during morning exercise but I suppose is a kind of greeting since the jogger are so exhausted to greet each other

It's a way of greeting since it would be quite difficult to open the mouth whilst trying to control your breath. learnt that during my university days. I missed those days sha. Now man don fat ooo

They're indirectly calling you a weak ass pvssy. That's what the clapping means.

So next time someone does it, be sure to send that person to the hospital

What is written above is the answer, plus it's also a motivation to continue.

It's a means of encouragement and an esprit de corps kind of thing. The least you could do is clap back.
Reminds me of my early morning jogging days at Uniben. How time flies.

It means greetings and motivation and also a sign that someone noticed your presence

Just clap back as a sign of acknowledgement

Very very fun indeed

It's a form of greetings for those in sports who doesn't want to talk whine on it

When you see others clap your hand twise and they will clap back to you

That's the way they greet
