Run Defensively
Monday, August 24th, 2009I was reading a bunch of boards the other day discussing whether it’s better to run with traffic or run against traffic. Are you serious? Just the thought of running with traffic gives me chills. The reason it is suggested to run against traffic is so that you can see what’s coming at you. If you see a car approaching that is riding the curb or crowding the bike lane, you have the opportunity to get out of the way.
This brings me to a question: If you meet other runners on the road running with traffic, do you point it out? Maybe suggest “You should be running against traffic for your own safety.”
Let us know what you think.
