A tenth “flail around”, while eight per cent say they are leaden footed.
Half said their running style had been mocked.
But they power through with the help of music and the sense of achievement, said the poll for protein snack firm Jack Link’s ahead of Sunday’s London Marathon.
A spokesperson for Jack Link’s said: “We may not all have a marathon in us.
“The survey shows some Brits are embarrassed of breaking into the slightest of jogs.
“However we want to encourage those who do like to run to power through with the help of Jack Link’s protein-rich snacks.
“Portable, tasty, and high in protein, Jack Link’s beef jerky is the perfect snack to help to provide a boost of energy when you need it the most, such as during the marathon, and hit your fitness goals.
