maybe he was grunting to keep from farting so he didn't bother you, yeah probably not most guys aren't that shy about those things. Grunting is a pet peeve of mine in gyms. Guys (myself included) trying to impress the ladies :)

I doubt that. But it was a low grunt from time to time almost like he was having sex.

Maybe running for him is just like it?
Some people grunt, to impress others and some people just grunt because that is what they do.
I usually have my iPod on the treadmill so I tune them out.
But watch out, when I run I rip, so I tend to fart on the treadmill so it might keep others away.

Was it a grunt or an oooOOooooh... oh yeah.. ooooh baby. That kinda thing? When I run on the 'mill I crank at a 8.5 and cough and hack from time to time. Geeze, maybe I'm 'that' guy.

Maybe he had a cold. I find that when I'm a bit sick every once in a while I need to clear myself out a bit, and it can sound like a grunt.
Also, not everyone is a sweater. I see people finish hard interval workouts without a bead of sweat, but they are on the verge of throwing up. Sweat is not a definitive sign of exertion.

maybe he doesn't realize how loud he is. i hope, yeah, that's it. he's so in the 'zone' he doesn't know he's doing it...
Don't be so easy on yourself 'cause this one might be all that you have left

I was running with a guy in my last HIM and I had to warn him that I was running a gas engine...He said he didn't mind if I farted as long as I didn't shart...never heard that one before myself, so in case I am not the only one, it's a fart that turns solid...not so good! Hopefully no one runs on a treadmill next to a sharter...

You usually can tell if you do, there is plenty of evidence... ;-)

Sometimes number 3 is essential to be able to pound out those last 4 or 5 miles. I guess I'm past trying to impress anyone at the gym, I'll leave that for the Meat-heads.

Sometimes the running farts are just unavoidable. :-)

An old farmers pearl of wisdom claims that a farting horse never tires. Every time I cut loose that nugget (pun) comes to mind and I pray that the claim is true.

There is a lady at our gym who is always putting the treadmill on the maximum incline and a very fast speed. Then, she hangs on to the heart monitor handlebars for dear life. it looks like she's being dragged by a truck. She manages to keep up with the treadmill but it's really weird and funny to see her hanging on like that. She is one hand slip away from being catapulted to the back wall.

this may be not so nice to say but when people are doing things like that I pray that they do get launched into the wall so I can laugh out loud at them.

I love the people who hang on the side rails! Makes me feel better by comparison. These are usually the same people who run for 5 minutes, step on the sides to get a drink while the track keeps moving, then jump back on for 5 minutes and call it a day.
*edit* I usual check to see how deadly my gas is before I get to the gym. Some days you just can't help it and hope it doesn't smell like a pile of rotting eggs sitting in a sauna for several weeks.
Last night I went to spin and then ran 2 miles on the treadmill. My running is my weak link. My coach says, 13:55 pace. I realize I have to be 4.4 and higher to reach that pace. The guy next to me is on a big incline, ipod on and grunting occasionally. I found myself speeding up just to finish and get away from the guy. I looked at at him a few times, thought about farting (to bug him) and then I wondered is he even aware of his grunting!
Oh well, happy friday. Here is to hoping the pool is not crowded tonight.
