This morning I ended up entangled with 4 small dogs on extendable leashes - mainly because the dog walkers were engrossed in conversation and didn't hear me coming. Words were exchangedđ¤! The parks are now busier than ever and it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a steady pace whilst getting past dawdling people, dogs and children on bikes. I am really surprised that they can't hear my ragged breathing behind them!
Any suggestion as to how to get people attention without having to cough (scares people) or stop (disrupts pace)? Wondered if a whistle might work?

Iâm going to change the subject slightly in the sense that it clearly isnât what happened in the case you describe but itâs worth remembering that some people are deaf. We canât assume people can hear us.
Yes, you could be right in some cases - I hadn't really thought of that. This morning I was more annoyed by the dog walker who had those extendable leads on 4 dogs and was completely oblivious to other park users. Tried to run around the dogs but they just kept extending. At least it added hurdling to my runđ!
Aye I was speaking from (indirect) experience as one of my running buddies is deaf. People think if they call out or ring their cycle bell that somehow gives them right of way.
