Wait until you learn that it's incredibly common to look candidates up on Facebook to learn more about their personal life during the recruitment process.

Not a red flag. This company is amazing and the guy just happens to be strongly into running, so he was genuinely interested and curious, most probably. He runs a lot. Of course he checked and I can't blame him. It was also not at all a criterion.
This was also a side discussion during a technical interview. It was fine, really.

If they checkout my private life to that degree…
Yeah, what a dick that guy was, trying to find something in common with the candidate to ease into the interview. Stick to leet coding questions, buddy!
That would be a massive red flag for me. If they checkout my private life to that degree, even if running is on the C.V. (unless maybe running is a property of the job, like a pro running team or applying for Strava community person)
