π±π± I have had this happen to me a few times, and itβs not nice. If I now see a βlivelyβ dog off the lead I stop running and walk until it is well out of the way. If a dog runs up to you aggressively, cross your arms across your chest, turn your back to it, and slowly walk away - that usually helps to defuse the situation.
Glad the run was good otherwise!
Thank you that's genuinely really useful advice, I'm scared to go my route now but it's the first time it's happened so I won't let it stop me, stay safe and happy running!
Well done! What a mean dog, I really don't get some owners. I'm afraid it is one of the hazards of running.

Hi Alice, I am one of those with a lively dog- except I keep her on an extending lead when I do the βrunβπ . She loves it!! When the programme switches to all running I wonβt be able to take her though as she is only 6 months old. Looking forward to W2R3 tomorrow- really enjoying it so far!!
Hi Alys (love that spelling of the name!) You are clearly one of the nice and responsible owners so that is good to hear π slightly shaken from last night to be honest but in general I love dogs so it won't put me off, happy running!
Hi Alys, sorry I didn't respond quicker I came off here for a while, how are you doing with the programme! We seemed to be at the same stage ish so let's keep going β€

Well done - you're sounding really positive about this now which is great. I can't believe you've nearly completed week 2! Time flies when you're having fun.....
You did an awesome job completing that run after being rushed by a dog. If anything startles me while running I can not re-catch my breath.
