To be really worried after seeing this on my street?

[Caraa197]

I live in a new build estate and it’s a new road. The road only leads to houses on here, there’s only one road in and out. Theres also no footpaths or anything leading out, just the pavements on the road. So basically you can’t get anywhere but to houses on the road.

I got home earlier and noticed a man absolutely sprinting past my house from further up. It wasn’t like he’d gone for a jog or run. He was really really running fast, like he was running away from something. Never seen him before. The weather is awful and he only had t shirt, joggers, and a backpack.

I am alone with DD and just feel worried about it in case it was something suspicious

He could have been doing sprint training? I only wear a short sleeved top to run, even at this time of year as I get too hot otherwise.

If you didn't see anyone chasing him, then I'd assume he was out for a run.

Ok, it’s possible. I have anxiety so think the worse. It just looked like a frantic run, like he had to get away

Maybe keen to get home due to the awful weather you mention. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Fartlekking?

Running to a shop before it shut?

Possibly. Just looked a little strange. I suppose I just worry and I’m alone with young DD. We are very rural, not much around. You have to drive/get the bus to get to any shops or anything like that

A person could be calmly walking a dog and casing the joint you have no idea what people are up too , deliberately scaring yourself with no evidence is weird

Sure you could call the police every time you see someone but they would have to ask you to stop some time I guess

I saw a lot of men running through a shopping precinct recently, they didn’t seem linked. I realised they were trying to get to McDonalds before the breakfast cut-off.

It's odd but I wouldn't worry about it.

I wouldn’t worry about it. You can’t be that isolated if you are on a new build estate surely.

I was thinking sprint training too. Especially as he was wearing the right gear.

You have neighbours, you're locked up inside, you have a phone. This man was running past not stood casing the joint? Do you also have cctv? Will all the other neighbours be thinking tje same? Please try to rationalise, assuming you're watching him so where has he gone? I'd be more worried about the balaclava clad groups that roam our neighborhoods than a random sprinter. If he was running away from something he will be long gone...

🤦🏻‍♀️

He must've been running from a murderer, your only choice is to move immediately.

People that are up to no good don’t generally draw attention to themselves.

😂

It might have been a hydration pack, not a back pack.

Possibly running home because he was busting for the loo? It's unlikely to be anything worrying, if you're generally anxious just make sure your home security is good and get a ring doorbell.
