I like to do runs somewhere between 10 and 20k , and at that pace I'm always "unproductive" according to garmin.... really hate that!

[@denbriggs82]

Ive done a few tempos with faster runners doing a “easy run”. And constantly chat away whilst I’m just about breathing. 😂 But as hard it was those runs helped me a lot. So much so than when they weren’t there I had the confidence to hit those paces on my own. Great video ladies.

[@runningchannel]

It's great it gave you confidence in the long term! It can be challenging keeping up with faster runners, but certainly makes you push yourself harder 👍🏼

[@Kelly_Ben]

Don't run abreast of each other, blocking trails, or even roadways. Even as a long time runner, I want to strangle the groups that make me swerve completely onto the other side to pass, or even wait long periods for a safe place to do so. "Share the road" works both ways.

[@ezekielanderson9055]

I just barge through. If they don't like it, it's their fault for being in the way.

I wish there’d be a video like this for swimmers as well! I have crashed into people who just stopped in the middle of their lap and started walking the shallow part of the pool 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Hannah-rm3wj]

You forgot 1 rule. When you're running with mates don't run side by side taking up the whole pathway so we have to run in the wet grass or on the road just to pass you.

[@Auser429]

Dont forget this unwritten rule,, if you are side by side with someone near the end of race then it’s you vs them for a sprint finish !!

[@MrSlaidback]

A race is like survivor, you can make all the alliances you want, but in the end you got to stab each other in the back..

[@abqp7158]

Race etiquette: walking is completely fine but consider walking at the side and certainly don't walk side by side with your mate, blocking the course.

[@runningchannel]

Great rule Alison 👍🏼

Ah yes, few things are more frustrating than being caught up behind a line of walkers stretching almost the full length of the path in a race🤦🏾‍♂️

My biggest pet peeve is when I'm running on a trail and there is a person with unleashed dogs. Leash laws exist for a reason and I have almost been bit a few times out on my long runs

[@Kelly_Ben]

Guilty. I've had German Shepherds who needed loads more mental and physical exercise than what I'd give on leash. However, they've both been well trained and completely non aggressive. Running off leash on trails is one of the biggest joys of my (and their) lives, and I'll continue to do so with all my dogs, making sure first that they're not a danger to others. I usually put a cheerful bandana on them to make them friendlier looking, and consider it breed public relations for other trail users to be able to interact with my "scary wolves " IF they choose to, so they can experience firsthand that dogs do not equal danger. Bad owners equal danger.

[@ichimarutetsu]

@@Kelly_Ben yea, I totally put an exception to well train dogs. I'm more speaking of dogs that arent recall trained. One day a lady was yelling and shouting at her dogs and they simply weren't trained and definitely not listening lok

,@@Kelly_Ben I have been a GSD breeder for many a year and I know you can never know how a dog will react, no matter how good they have been trained. it might go well a 1000 times but the 1001st time... you´re screwed... People will not remember the 1000 times but the 1001st time. If you want them to have more physical exercise you might consider urban mushing or going running with your dogs, if that is possible, Besides, there really are people who are afraid of dogs, just as there are people who are scared of spiders or mice,...

[@MrLynch-ei4dc]

Only reason i keep my shepherds on the leash is because they would start running with the runner. Leave my ass behind.

[@abqp7158]

Was attacked by a dog last Saturday, luckily just badly scratched. And yes I do like dogs, no it wasn't being friendly and yes I am sensible around dogs. But refuse to be put off dogs or running.

[@kingsley6236]

Great video Running Channel. Sarah has become a great addition to the team!! One thing you missed off....a friendly wave or smile to other runners when you are out and about. Great to see the type of videos we all know and love for you guys. Would love to see another video / update of 'what not to do' or 'you know you're a runner when...'. Also I would love to see and AMSR video of you running, a nice trail run with the birds singing, the crunch of gravel! Anyone agree?????

[@abqp7158]

Nice to engage with other people doing sport like cyclists and walkers, makes us more friendly and helps sharing the space better. I always say hi, good morning, quick wave etc and like it when they reply.

[@kingsley6236]

[@scatt1502]

When doing a race and you want to stay with a race pacer don't form a line that becomes an impassable wall! This makes it difficult for faster runners to get around you. Not everyone wants to do the same pace that you have settled on.

[@ratamacue0320]

Re #9, no you're not (offering unsolicited advice), because we (viewers) are coming to you (your channel), seeking it out. 👍

[@sonicseaweed]

I have what has become a rule for myself, much to my daughters chagrin. Everytime I see someone running I say (quietly) out loud "run little dude" (regardless of age, gender, or even species) as a way of adding positivity to the world

[@runningchannel]

Love that positivity! Though we can imagine in embarrasses your daughters 😂

[@sandyhumissouri5131]

Sounds like a great way to annoy your daughters 😂

[@sckilham]

One of my rules, which is similar to that last one, is don't assume you know everything about another runner. For example, if you see someone running slower than you, don't tell them to "pick it up!" because you have no idea what kind of training they're doing or what their speeds are. Also, don't assume that what works for you will work for someone else. As a person with some chronic illnesses, certain fuels or even gear doesn't work for me the way it would for someone else and its really frustrating to hear those suggestions when I don't ask!

[@runninggirl5077]

Definetely!!

[@madametrafficjam8347]

Came looking for this exact comment. Judging people is bad in general, but you are absolutely not faster than another person just because you just passed them on a road. Not everyone follows the same schedule.

[@jenniferbarke4150]

I've been to a few parkruns where people blast their music out through their speakers as they run. Makes focusing on your own music very difficult and very off putting !

[@markschraider]

Smile and wave at other runners, that’s my rule 😀

[@TheBooklover1848]

Unless they look like they're zoned out in which case I just let them get on with it. I try making eye contact first and if they're avoiding it I know not to bother them.

[@azharjoosub6130]

And most importantly: keep left, pass right!

[@kierenkd]

Don't run with portable speakers or boom-boxes on your back. That's what headphones are for

[@t41l]

Always check behind you before crop dusting 😄

[@martharunstheworld]

Run against traffic is one. I constantly see runners running with traffic on roads, which is very dangerous. Runners run against traffic because it's much easier for us to see cars oncoming and get out of the way than it is to hear them behind us, especially with the rise of electric cars which don't make any noise at all.

[@marktracey2088]

100% with you on that one. I am amazed how many don't realise that this is the approach that all people on foot should use when walking on country roads. It was something I remember being told when I was at school.

[@miski1969]

I sort of agree but I make an exception for hills & bends. I don't want to be running into traffic approaching a blind bend or the brow of a steepish hill so I try & get on the side of the road where I'll give cars the longest time to see me. Road races on open roads also require you to run with the traffic in the UK, at least all the ones I've done.

[@hairyairey]

@@miski1969 yes I have noticed this with road events running with the traffic, then the marshalls will shout at you to follow the highway code! Which says the opposite. In my experience it seems that England Athletics treats the roads like a giant running track so you run on the left anti-clockwise. I don't like it I do not feel at all safe. Although it also says that large groups should stick to the left!

[@brendalogan3784]

Always wave or say hello to other runners. We are all there trying regardless of pace.

[@rubarb1275]

Great video, well done! I would say another rule should be that runners should always thank marshals and volunteers at races, Parkruns, etc. They give up their time so that an event can go ahead!

[@patrick4015]

I’m always amazed off al the rubbish you see during a race. Shameful. I was wondering if we could add the role: stay on one side of the road, so people can overtake you easier. It’s very annoying when someone is blocking the road when you want to pass them. I always ask nicely, but there not alway so nice in retour.

[@runningchannel]

The rubbish on race day is always sad to see, hopefully it will start to improve. YES GREAT RULE!

[@kierenkd]

Agree. The clean up is time & staff which drives up costs & race entry fees. Littter and get disqualified I think.

[@paxundpeace9970]

Those rubbish is often cleaned because unless it got removed the organization will get no permit for next year. Often they have dedicated dump zones.

[@brianbishop9267]

[@charleshoms6129]

Great line-up, indeed you see all of this. The one that’s missing: don’t cut corners when you running right in front of others, like in a race with lots of runners close to each other.

[@dkeinow]

There should be a rule for pacers and those running in a pace group during a race: Do not take over the entire course! Not everyone wants to run at your group's pace! I have participated in several races where the interval pace groups blocked the entire course and forced everyone to run at the group's interval.

[@tomgibson1605]

I think being kind to yourself whilst running is another rule especially if it does not go to plan

[@runningchannel]

Great rule Tom, negative thinking never helped anyone

[@michaelreid322]

I always think to myself, "Everyone runs their own race."

[@thisguy2973]

For me, if I see others down the road from me running in my direction, I tend to cross the street as a courtesy. Also, being a runner, I’ve come to learn that when you’re running, others may not be aware of your presence, so I do it if they’re running away from as to not startle them if I happen to catch up.

[@KatrinBalmer]

maybe thats a swiss thing but if another runner greets you while passing you, GREET THEM BACK! 😂😂😂 Oh and more importantly if you see somebody out of breath, sitting or even lying on the ground. Take a second and ask them if they are okay. You can take a PR the next time but a little team spirit never hurts. I never did this until someone passed out on the 400m track. If it had been in the forest I would not have seen the person a second time and who knows when the next person will run by.

[@Stunl3y]

Give your fellow runner a smile/thumbs up, hell even a wave or a nod of the head, we are all doing something we love . Also when you are running and your pace is faster than somebody you have caught up with go past them, don't use the person you have caught up with as a pace make for your run , its rude and annoying

I'm so torn as to whether to leave my group or not

[@yoelianasoetanto8889]

I definitely can relate. I cried in a group run before because I was also so far behind. My brain kept telling me to go, but my legs wouldn't move faster. It got to a point where I was so mentally stressed and my body started feeling it too. My calf muscles tensed and the last 2 km felt too far. Traumatised by it, I tried running by myself after that, definitely felt no pressure, but it could get boring. Then I found some slow people who I can run with. You got this, Jemma.
