Running + Facemasks

[Anonymous]

What do you use? I haven't been using anything, but I run the trails in Rock Creek, and frequently people are too close or don't move over to the opposite side of the trail. What are you wearing to protect yourself?

Run in the morning and in the road when I see people on the sidewalk

I don’t wear a mask when I’m running, if I come across a person I move to the opposite side of the road, it’s not complicated

I run in fields away from people in the mornings

I don't wear a mask outdoors, either running or walking. I'm not going in crows or groups, and trying to maintain reasonable distance. The virus just doesn't jump in a short pass from a few feet away.

I can't run in a mask- I am claustrophobic and have allergies so breathing is difficult. I wear a mask in stores, but when I run or walk outside, I practice strict distancing. I try to run at off times and prefer to run on the street or bike lane.

I run really early in the morning and different routes, sometimes on the road. I live in the 'burbs though so that's not as dangerous. I can't run in a cloth mask...I would pass out.

If you can’t run in a mask, and you are being asked to wear a mask anytime you could be near someone, should you really be running outside of your house?

No mask running for me. I move as far away as I can.

If you have terrible anxiety, and it's not rooted in factual, viable risk, should you really be going outside of your house?

If you're running, you should wear a mask not only for your protection, but for the protection of others. Runners are far more likely to spread respiratory droplets over longer distances. It is just selfish for anyone to run without a mask because it isn't comfortable for them.

Rediculous unless you are also not doing the others safe distance etc. If you run but never see anyone why wear a mask? just like you wouldn't wear a mask in the house either Now if running on the sidewalk or to the store different story?

Can you point to one single case of a runner being some kind of super spreader? Because where TF is this absolutely crazy, utterly irrational demonization of runners coming from?

So there's zero evidence of someone getting infected by a runner? That's what I thought.
