I think it's a cute idea. Different.
But I would still pass.1 -
I don't run unless someone is chasing me with a chain saw. So no I wouldn't go on a running date. lol3

You don't like running?0 -
Do it. He probably wants to impress you with how fit he is. BUT you can also *kitten* his personality. If he is fitter than you and he runs better and gloats, dump him. If he is gentleman, well then set up a proper date. Men are generally competitive and how he treats you will tell you a lot about his personality including whether he sees you as a possible partner or competitor.6

I like the idea of a hike instead. Then you can actually talk to each-other and enjoy the scenery.
I agree that it sounds like he wants to "evaluate" your fitness. I assume fitness is very important to this guy and he wants to make sure the people he dates are into it too. There's nothing wrong with that... but a running date still sounds awful to me. You'll be sweaty and panting and unable to even talk to each-other.2 -
If you're not currently a runner then I would say no. A walk or hike is a great alternative.4

And definitely not showing any fitness. lol

If he wants something active, look for a rock-climbing wall in your area. Public places only for a 2nd date with someone you don't know well. Is he trying to assess your fitness level or something? :huh: Odd.1

I have gone on a running "date", but it was more like a 5th date type of thing.
We both enjoy running and every mile, we stopped and did a few planks, wall sits, squats and push ups so I could take a quick break. He was a lot taller than I so running a 8 minute mile, was not something I typically do when I run on my own! haha
I just casually told him that after every mile I like to throw in some body weight exercise, and he was impressed as he typically didn't do wall sits, squats or planks. It was a good mix for us both and we enjoyed it.
I liked the fact I got to see him in the morning, and if a guy likes me while I run or after, you know that he really likes you just as much as when you are dressed to the nines and wearing heals. However, I find that for myself anyways, I always have a super glow after a run and look happy/healthy so I was not turned off by getting a little sweaty.
I would do it if you are comfortable! We even stopped to take some great nature pictures along our travels, it was actually kind of romantic in a spontaneous kind of way.

Does he know this: " I was back in high-school. Not any more to be honest"?
If no, then he may have a misconception of your level of fitness. Can't imagine how that will go well........
If yes, then that is strange/weird.
Doesn't seem that this would be a good idea in either scenario, given the (apparent) different activity preferences.1 -

Agreed. I had someone online grill me about hockey one time because hockey fan was in my profile. It was a turn off, it was as if he wanted to make sure I truly liked hockey and didn't just put that to "catch a man" or some nonsense. It aggravated me and insulted me all at the same time. Kind of how I would take someone wanting to assess my fitness level on a date. lol
