From Christine Luff, your Guide to Running & Jogging
We've finally had some decent running weather in my neck of the woods, but unfortunately it's had a bad side effect: runner's road rage. The park where I often run is more packed than it has been all winter, and the crowded conditions have led to comments from angry, annoyed runners.

How to Be a Polite Runner
Here are a couple of comments from enraged runners that I recently overheard (fortunately not directed at me): "I guess you've never heard the phrase, 'ON YOUR LEFT!' since you're not moving!!" "It's really rude to take up the WHOLE ROAD!!" Get tips on how to avoid being on the receiving end of such comments.

Road Race Etiquette Tips
To avoid annoying fellow runners (and prevent looking like a newbie), be sure to follow these etiquette guidelines when participating in races.
