Running routes

[Shelley2310]

Quick question, I’ve looked up for runs in my area for when I graduate. I can only find walking routes, do people generally use these to run on, or would I get shouted at if I meet a group of walkers!

Walkers like runners are friendly people, they won't shout back at you, what both runners and walkers will shout at are cyclists who suddenly appear without ringing a bell and almost knocking people down, I am now a runner, walker and have been a cyclist since I was 7,

I always ring my bell at walkers or runners, perhaps that is the reason that neither walkers or runners 🏃have never shouted at me.

Thank you, living down south on the marshes, there are lots of lovely fairly flat walking routes. I haven’t ventured off the road or sea wall. So thinking perhaps change of scenery when (not if) I graduate 🎓

Oh and I’m thinking of getting a push bike, not sure what my balance will be like!! I struggled as a kid!! Perhaps that’s my next challenge 🤣

Of course you will graduate Shelley, nice also that you're thinking of getting a push bike. 😊

All sounds good ! No reason why you can’t run on walking routes, as long as you are prepared to be polite and work round people (and dogs !) if necessary !

[Shelley2310 Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Of course.....I’m always polite ....even when swearing 😂🤣😂🤣

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Shelley2310]

It’s a real skill, to be able to swear in a mannerly fashion 😁

Go... run... push walkers out of the way.

No, my bad... shout “runner coming through” every time you see a walker.

No... just go have fun and say “aye aye” to them.

Block cyclists though, obviously. 😂

Bit dangerous blocking cyclists - they can crash into you or fall on you !
