And some are kiasu and kept looking at my exercise meter. For me, I prefer to run on my own instead of next to someone. But that's just me.

If someone starts going faster than me on the treadmill something inside me tells me I need to start going faster than them. It's like the game of chicken on a treadmill :-) I know what you mean Mun.

I'll choose the machine next to someone without even thinking. Maybe I’m a little competitive. I’ll choose the machine next to someone without even thinking.

Sometimes you get intimidated when your performance is worse than the person beside you. You might what be guessing what the person beside you thinks. Psychology is so scary!! Yes you’re right.

We were just talking about this yesterday during lunch. :-) My colleague was running on a treadmill next to this guy and he kept running faster and he started to push harder too. Call it kiasu but it's a "fun" game. For me, if I have a friend to jog/run/cycle with, it's ok. LOL!!

I'm first to comment! :-D Yes indeed true I work much harder whenever someone is working beside me. Especially when a personal trainer is training the person beside me! I'd experienced this several times, with a personal trainer beside talking/explaining things to someone beside me, I feel I must 'behave' myself like "Go! Go! Faster, harder, don't stop, increase the speed/intensity otherwise the PT beside you will think you aren't working hard enough."
