and running has once more become a spectator sport.

Every few yards..'keep it up love', 'keep going',' faster, faster!' (that one in a thick Polish accent) and all followed by manly guffaws at their razor sharp wit . I mean why? I'm not running naked, or in a clown costume...why can't they just ignore me?

Made worse by the fact that most pubs now have a convivial crowd of smokers outside the doors these days.

sorry know it's not funny. well done you for doing it, they're just jealous and you give them something to look at.

i am serenely oblivious in my headphones. although i did take a whole football pitch to overtake a man running backwards yesterday and felt a complete nitwit. he was FAST.

Backwards! Why?

I have headphones too turned up loud but I still manage to hear. Unfortunately. I have developed a new technique of not looking at people when I run past them.
