Runsplaining
The act of assuming a new member of your running club is new to the sport of running and minimizing their answers to questions about their background.
For example; if they say they haven't done any races in a while a runsplaining person may assume it's been a few years but maybe it's been just a few months. If they say they are not running as much as they used to, the runsplaining person may assume they are running a minimal amount when in fact it could still be serious mileage.

Ricsplaining
The wholesome act of over-explaining something in an enthusiastic, thorough, and genuinely helpful way. Unlike condescending forms of over-explanation, ricsplaining comes from a place of excitement and care—the person genuinely wants you to succeed and understand every detail. Often accompanied by analogies, encouragement, and the phrase "and here's the cool part..."
A ricsplainer believes knowledge is a gift worth wrapping carefully.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
