[quote=Anonymous]I was a 4:06 miler in high school. This was before good tracks and fancy shoes. Low mileage, high intensity. When I ran on the trails the problem was the other runners and joggers and at times bikers on the trails. But you know what? If i wanted to run at 4:30 mile pace or faster on the trails, it was my responsibility to take care to not knock over pedestrians or joggers or interfere with cyclists. Kept my ego in check, and was great practice for big competitive meets where lots of jostling occurred and you had to think ahead. A reminder too that no one really cares if you run fast. It was bad etiquette for joggers on the track to run on the inside lane but I kept my mouth shut. College runs were in a large forest. We had an 11 mile loop - much too long for me - but I did it often - and I don't recall ever coming across anyone but my teammates and a researcher or two on the trails. [/quote]
