People who run on the street when there’s a sidewalk right there

I see plenty of room to pass. Person running in the gutter lane. Sidewalks in this area look fucking rough (thanks, car centric transportation!).

What’s mildly infuriating is the asshole taking a picture WHILE operating a motor vehicle.

    Most don’t realize serious runners can damage their legs by running on sidewalks vs asphalt

    Something about the impact I’m not sure the specifics

      It’s not just the softness of the material… Sidewalks have lots of undulations and uneven angles every time you cross a driveway or a junction. Also gaps and cracks

      Jogging 2km on a sidwalk is fine

      Running at a serious speed over 10k on an uneven, hard surface like sidewalk is a high chance of injury
