Conflict? No. I didn't try any of the ramming techniques suggested by othersAren’t you the person that came on here describing how you came into conflict with other citizens today?
I have not come into conflict with any of my fellow citizens for as long as I can remember.
I didn’t realise he was running for his life and couldn’t maybe slow to a walk to encourage them to go single file while maybe saying, “Excuse me. Thank you.”
Sorry but in my 64 years on this planet I have never seen a prohibit running or jogging sign on any public pavement, path, promenade or any other public walkway. Come to think about it, it’s only poolside that I have seen a no running sign. So by default running on these can’t be classed as abnormal
The pace his was running is irrelevant, the behaviour of the 2 others was ignorant and bad mannered with no excuse if they “forced” him in to traffic on a busy road.
Me neither.
Presumably, his?.. Hoping some rest this evening and stretches tomorrow leave me in a place that I can go hit some balls as was my plan for tomorrow night!!
He was running towards 2 people, they will have seen him, he didn’t sneak up behind them panting, sweating on them!Me neither.
Running on a footpath is not illegal. Nor are scootering, pogo-sticking, tennis or chipping practice, but you wouldn’t do any of them if they brought you into conflict with walkers.
I’m not anti-running. I have been a runner, but off-road; I hated running next to traffic.
I spent 30 years walking the 2 miles from my house to the station twice every day to commute to work. We have narrow pavements. I have thousands of episodes to draw on to know how unpleasant it is to have a panting, sweaty bloke run past you on a narrow pavement. Anybody who can’t figure that out needs a lesson in empathy.
Seriously, if the road is too busy to step into for 5 yards then all you have to do is slow to a walk for 10 seconds.
Or carry on as you are.
I’m just demonstrating that this is not an echo chamber.
Who needs a lesson in empathy!?Me neither.

Please enlighten me and why?
